I am so lame...

Hello All,

Sorry for the delay in posting to this thing. It's been so long, but life is hairy! How do we manage it all?

Today I'm in the church office and am catching up on many of the "little," but important things there are to do in being a leader in Christ's church: Lotsa email, writing thank-you's, meeting with staff over various who-knows-what and future planning. It turns out that not preaching the message I had planned for yesterday actually gives me some extra time this week 'cause I'll just do that one next week! It's all part of my eeeeee-vil plan...














I'm excited about the new worship center we're planning to build and enjoyed kicking off the Capital Campaign yesterday. I'm not into buildings that much...the church is the people! But, God's people need a place to meet, and I am excited about renewing our facilities to enable this people to reach out in this neighborhood for the next decades. Christ didn't die so we could have nice buildings...he died so we could know real life and engage the broken and doubting ones with that offer of true life. If you're a part of Garland, I invite you to give generously and sacrificially to that end.

Well, there you have it. Don't be lame...like me. Post wildly, post often.

Lookin' Up,

Pastarod
