I couldn’t sleep last night…not because I realized I hadn’t blogged all week :-)…but I had “church on the brain” going on. This is a disease I contracted in 2001. It got worse in 2002-03. It comes in waves. It flares up around Easter and Christmas. My mind sometimes just won’t shut down and I lie in bed wide awake thinking of mostly church-related stuff. It’s mostly creative ideas, dreaming big about growth and buildings. Last night (remember this didn’t actually happen), we actually were given 10 million dollars and we purchased prime property on Smoketown Road in Woodbridge and renovated a warehouse type of building into an amazing meeting facility. We were running 2 services and overflowing with people. I was hiring additional full-time staff. LCC was making a huge impact on the community.
OK…sometimes I get going like that in my head and I just cannot sleep. One thought leads to another…you get the idea.
Anyway, it’s Friday. I know for many it’s TGIF because you just want to get through the work week. Being in the ministry is all whole different ballgame. The ebb and flow of the weeks are so much different. I try to get most of my work done so Friday is a somewhat easy day…sometimes that happens and sometimes not so much. Regardless, even with the stress of the ministry, I do love what I do each week. I don’t really think I have a TGI__ day.
This was one of those weeks filled with meetings, planning, advance preparations, administration and more…and I’m kind of shocked it’s already Friday…
