It's Over

I wanted to post a message here to let everyone know that I'm taking a break. I'm not sure how long it is going to be, but starting tomorrow night, I will only be reachable via the internet during my working hours. Thanks to everyone who's been reading here, if you wish to have me notify you if I decide to come back leave me a comment and I'll let you know.

It's Been Fun

What A Day

Well, today has been quite the day. It's almost remeniscent of growing up, how all day was devoted to church. Although it's been a crazy day, it's also been enjoyable. I'll recap it for everyone. This moring we started out our Sunday earlier than usual. We left the house by 9:30 to head to Westport, MO to go to church at Jacob's Well. It was an awesome service, I can't wait to go back. Erin also had quite a fun time getting to meet and play with other kids her own age. She's been missing her Emporia friends recently and has been talking about them alot. I think it may be nearing time for another visit so she can get her 'fix'. Well, after church we did some fine dining at Chili's where I was chastised for ordering an Awesome Blossom and a Dinner Salad for lunch. I was also told that I look just like the lead singer of Matchbox 20. Dare to copare?

Well after finishing our lunch we headed over to US Toy in Leawood, KS to check out their magic accessories. Once we got home, we put Erin down for her nap and started working on music for our Sunday night service at University Church. Church went well tonight, and not much has happened since then. So...I'll let you all go. I'll update you on my Jeep progress later.

Strange things are afoot at the Circle K.

Ok, I don't know how to describe this week. It's been crazy, fun, sad, irritating, tiring, exciting, and weird. I can't even begin to tell you everything that has happened, not that I could recall it all if I wanted to, but I just know it's been rather frustrating. I've had some real revelations recently, about my life, and my walk with Christ. Especially in some of the books I've read recently. The most recent book More Ready Than You Realize, was a very cool book. The subject matter was over evangelism, but not in the sense that the church has been teaching us for years, but in the manner of how to evangelism through your relationships with those around you. It's been very cool, and very interesting. For about the last 10 years I've been learning about small group ministry and how it is all supposed to work. I've learned things about what it means to be a Christian and what God's purpose for our lives and everything that he does, is. This book, has taken so much of what I have learned in the past and given it a new spin. It's almost been a 'duh' factor. This book was full of a concept that I feel I've been learning and training in, yet it also showed how to do it, which was something that I was still clueless about. I don't want to try and sum up the book for you, instead, I want to recommend it to you.

I feel like crying tonight.

Return from Hiatus

Wow, I knew that it had been a little bit since I last blogged, but I didn't realize that it had been over a week, people are going to start confusing my blog with Sean's. Just kidding about that, although, Sean has updated his blog with his monthly post. I think he may actually start having a little more time to blog on a bit more of a regular basis. Only time will tell. Well, I don't really have much to talk about other than the fact that things at church are going really well. I finally got the survey done for the worship team, so if anyone out there is interested in helping out with this worship team, fill out the survey. I feel our church is on the edge of a great breakthrough in what we are wanting to do. I've been reading the book More Ready Than You Realize by Brian McLaren, and it is an incredible book. It's taking the concept of evangelism and showing me a completed different approach than anything I had ever been taught while growing up. It also makes a lot of sense. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who is trying to minister to people under the age of 30. Anyhow, I'm going to quite typing as I'm not much for this, I'd love to hear your thoughts and comments though.

Later,

David
