My Plan of Attack
*On Sunday, we're going to launch a new series called, "I Became a Christian and All I Got Was This Lousy T-Shirt!" I decided on this title 'cause it reflects the disappointment that so many of us have with Christianity. Going to church... Participating in a small group... Singing songs to Jesus... Trying to change our behavior... leads almost every follower of Jesus to eventually ask , "Is this it?" This series is going to confront that question!
*Recently, I asked the Great Lakes Church staff (paid & volunteer) to identify their greatest weakness and come up with a plan for how their going to tackle it. As they shared their plans yesterday, I realized that this was more important than I originally thought. Every one of the weaknesses that were shared had a HUGE effect on other people (lack of boundaries, disorganized, very little time spent renewing spiritually, etc.).
*Since I pretty much suck at having boundaries with my time, here's the plan I came up with:
1) Don't check my email in the morning!
1) Don't check my email in the morning!
2) Get away one day a month to think and plan.
3) Say "no" to more stuff (this is pretty vague, but I've already started to do this).
4) Take time each evening to plan my agenda for the next day.
5) Turn off the computer from 6-9pm every evening, so that I can spend more time with my kids. Earlier this year, I tried to do this, but that didn't work out well 
This is my second attempt!
This is my second attempt!-Dave
PS - On another note, I recently told the amazing story of Larry Walters. Here is news footage of the actual event (starting at the 30 second marker)!
