Well, a couple reasons the blog has gone silent recently...
The main one being that for the last few weeks it has been locked up because of a billing issue. In the transition to a new expiration date on the credit card of record, it locked me out and whenever I tried to enter the new one, it kept insisting there was an error.
Secondly, I've been crazy busy and somehow updating two sentences on Facebook is much easier than posting a blog.
So, rather than trying to catch up on a month...here's some things I'm excited about today--
1. Really was proud of our latest teaching series on 'Money.' At the end of the day, I felt like it was extremely helpful across the board on many levels and in our current economic times--when we talk about money...it should reflect a spirit of helpfulness. Plus, I thought Steve did a particularly awesome job this morning. Good work, bro.
2. Really proud of the 'What. Now?' event held this evening. We probably had close to 150 adults and I heard lots of positive comments from people as they were leaving. It was a rather last minute idea for us and so many people rallied together to make it happen.
3. I took down the butcher paper from around the wall this evening with everyone's prayers, work needs, and offers of help. It's a sacred, moving moment every time I read all that's written there. We'll be logging all the work needs and offers of help in the next several days and finding an appropriate way to make them accessible to the Crosspointe family.
4. Excited about the new series next week, Only Human.
5. Adrianne was out of town at the beach this weekend with the girls from our lifegroup. She had a wonderful time and we, at home, made the most of boys' weekend. Papa Johns pizza, double digit hours of playing tennis, basketball, baseball, hockey and soccer....not to mention watching Duke win the ACC tourney, Louisville win the Big East, and USA baseball tackle the second round of the WBC.
6. Stoked that Duke was placed in Greensboro. Debating whether or not to expose my sports crazed boys to the craziness of the tourney in person for the first time....not to mention the art of trying to get tickets from a scalper.
7. Regardless....college basketball doesn't get any better than this upcoming Thursday-Sunday.
8. Next Monday, I start my 5th season of coaching. We held the draft this past Wednesday night (7-9 year olds) and since I didn't know anyone besides Caden and my assistant coaches' kids....success was met when I didn't have any kids with the same first name. It's a big jump this year from t-ball to kid pitch....so we'll see how it goes. Coaching is a challenge with my schedule, but I love pouring into kids and families I otherwise would never meet
9. I'm close to being finished with taxes. Whoever invented Turbo Tax....thank you.
10. Now, I need to go to bed because I've got to make it to the gym EARLY if it's going to happen tomorrow and I promised Caden I'd help him fill out a bracket before I left for work.
I don't know if I would consider once a month posts as "back at it".
