Another beautiful day. All sun-all day. Yes!
I like what John Lennon wrote in the song Beautiful Boy. He said, life is what happens to you when you’re busy making other plans. Today was one of those days for me. My plans for the day didn’t survive the morning. But that’s okay. One of the things I adore about Kingdom living is the feeling I get that I am living in an action- packed thriller. I find that energizing. The lives we live in Christ are definite page turners. Like a great book.
On the other hand, life outside of Christ is so predictable. The same well-worn plot is recycled over and over. It’s love-of-life numbing. I can see why people try to break up the monotony of their inner lives with substances. Or the accumulation of possessions. Or certain behaviors. Or whatever. Still the end result is almost always a dull read.
Today I have a new reason to love my shepherds. And my coworkers. And my church. We really are a place to start life over. For everybody.
Memorial Drive is producing some best-sellers this week. Because of Jesus.

You’re not kidding Craig. I feel so honored to go to church with the people I do. The Shepherds are amazing. The staff is unbelieveable. And it’s all because they recognize they are human, they are sinners, and they are one of the precious hearts that God puts here on Earth to make a difference. I’ve never met a more humble group of people in my life and I love them for that. I love how they love me despite of my flaws that they do….and don’t know about. It doesn’t matter to them. They love me! I am lucky! I am honored! I love these people!
Thanks so much for being one of them! You amaze me my friend! Truly amaze me!
Love you!
