Creation

Take the time to admire God's creation. I went to the beach today and it was awesome. It's not like I have never been before, it's just that it seemed fresh to me.
Enjoy his creation.
Notice the details.
Smell the air.
Slow down for a second and take it in.

Acts 4:13

Acts 4:13
When they saw the courage of Peter and John and realized that they were unschooled, ordinary men, they were astonished and they took note that these men had been with Jesus.

Team

I am learning more and more the importance of team. I can only do so much on my own, but with a team we can get so much more accomplished. A team player doesn't care about the spotlight. He cares about the greater good of the team and accomplishing the goals that the team is working towards. If you are not yet a team player I encourage you to become one. It is much more fun to celebrate success with a team.

Refresh

Let's live our lives constantly refreshing others. Purpose to be the type of person that refreshes.
You never know when someone will need it. Plus Proverbs says that he who refreshes will also be refreshed.

Psalm 16:7

Psalm 16:7 says, "I will praise the Lord, who counsels me;"How many times do we do stuff and go through life without seeking him?How many times do we run to others for help and advice, without running to him?He is a great counselor if we go to him!

Making a difference

Are we just simply existing, or are we actually making a difference?
Are we accomplishing anything with our our resources, talents, and our time?
Would it matter if we died?
How much impact are we making? Or are we barely making a dent?

Birthday girl

Today is Alivia's birthday. 3 years old!
My youngest is 3............I can't believe it.
Seriously. How do they grow up so fast?

Man on the run

We talked about Jonah yesterday and how we all have a little bit of Jonah in us. Jonah went against what God wanted. I pray that I am obedient to God when he asks me to do something. Even if I know that it will be painful. I don't want to be a man on the run. Or even a drifter.

Sesame Place

So we took the girls to Sesame Place the other day.

A trian and a horse

Today we went on an awesome train ride in Amish country and then went on a horse and buggy ride.

R&R

So we are having a good time and getting some R&R. We are down in Lancaster PA doing some of the parks and stuff. The girls are loving it.

Loving people

It doesn't matter how awesome our church is, or how awesome our programs are, if we don't have love. It doesn't matter how great our music is, or how exciting our events are, if we don't have love. It doesn't matter how big we get, or how many people we reach, if we don't have love.
Love is the most important thing. Loving people.

Reverse

This pic is from Sunday. We did everything backwards for the series we where in. We started right off the bat with the sermon and then went in reverse from their.

3 kings

I started this book yesterday. It is a very easy read and I know that you would enjoy it. It is about brokenness.

Pass it on

We started a little site to help promote the Jonah series coming to Impact Church. Check it out. Pass it on.

Giving our best

Are we giving our best? In everything we do? Do we strive for excellence?
Let's not be average.........let's be better than that.

Today

We had a very productive day today. We decided on an Impact Image. Not really a logo, but something with our name on it. You will start seeing it next week. We worked on this coming Sunday for a while and then had a great lunch with pastor Josh and his assistant Ben from NLC in Dover.
Great guys.
Anyway,
I am just excited for this Sunday. It is our last week in our series called,"The Upside Down Way of God"
