Unimportant Numbers

I’ve been struggling with “numbers” this year. Just read a great post about how we can have great youth ministry no matter how many (or few) youth we have. Check it out here.

A Better Job…

I wrote about homosexuality a couple days ago, and today I stumbled upon this video with Chuck Colson, Greg Boyd, and Shane Claiborne that I think does a much better job articulating what I was trying to say.

Exhaustion

I haven’t been following my normal sleep pattern lately- I blame my brother for this. I went up to Michigan last weekend and he is on a totally different schedule than me- going to bed at 2 A.M. and getting up at 10 A.M. so while with him, this also was my sleep schedule. I come back home and I am still on that schedule. So while I should be heading to bed about 10:30, I wind up reading or doing something until well after midnight. This is going on 3 nights of having to be up at 7. This isn’t a ridiculously small amount of sleep, and until today I haven’t felt tired. Today I am absolutely exhausted. My eyes are puffy, my mind is fuzzy, and I have a full day ahead. I drank three cups of extra strong coffee- nothing. So I am dealing with the consequences of my lack of discipline, and am praying that God will get me through the day, because otherwise I may wind up drooling on my desk. Tonight- bedtime is 10 and there will be no excuses!
