Great Weekend.

  • We had Camille for most of the day on Sat. She's awesome! Her new thing is "No way, Captain!"
  • Bob and Monica came over for supper Sat night and to talk about Denver. The Launch Conference really lit my fire. I put together a time line of things that need to be done to start our church in March. This is an aggressive time line considering we haven't moved yet and we don't know when we will move. I did hear from Apartment Life and they expect to have 4 openings in downtown Denver this month of which one of them is for us. All 4 complexes are in the heart of Denver and are within a mile or two of Coors Field (baseball,) Bronco Stadium (football,) and the Pepsi Arena (basketball.) We are excited about this news.
  • Of course, any time line that you put together has to get approval from the Powers above. In this case, the Lord Jesus Christ has to sign off on it. Unfortunately, most times you don't know if He approved it until the date has come and gone. Nevertheless, I must plan. Its not wrong to plan (I would say it is wrong not to plan. You know the old saying, "Failing to plan is planing to fail.") but it is wrong to assume your plan is also God's plan. You should make your plan and then work your plan but have such a surrendered spirit to allow God to work out His own plan in His own time.
  • Check out one of the apartments that we may be moving to here.
  • I have always had Easter as my goal to launch our new Denver church but I would really like to launch at least 4 weeks before Easter. That would give us two days after our launch date that are natural crowd drawers - Easter and Mother's Day. It would also give us nearly 3 months to build momentum before Summer hits. Please make this a matter of prayer. It would be very hard for me to be delayed in such a way that would make it difficult to even launch by Easter. If we don't make it by Easter, it would probably be Sept before we could launch. God will work His plan.
  • Cooked a new supper dish on Sat night that was very good. You can find it here.
  • All the family got together for Ben's birthday this afternoon. Its always fun to have everyone together.
  • The Pointe Church was excellent today. They have a great worship team and they started a new series that they planned 6 months ago on what happens in tough financial times. Talk about God's timing! They also started a second service and I think it went very well.
  • Falcons won! That was a great win.
  • Cubs are out but I'm liking the Dodgers even though they are a West Coast team.
  • I have a lot to do this week about our Denver move. My wheels are spinning!
