This week - Week 14

Today champ is at week 14. This weekend, I bought my first dad book. I haven't got to look at it yet, but the cover looks awesome:) I plan to do get to it this week though, don't you worry! This is a great week. Each week means that our baby is awesomely growing in Becca's belly. It's another week to connect with God, family and friends. That's more than enough for me...until you remember that the fall TV calendar starts! New Heroes! New Office! New...those are the only shows I care about...but they are new! WOO HOO! So much fam time, Jesus, work, TV...

...maybe i'll start that book NEXT week...

Who we are

The other night, my wife and I watched the movie, Philadelphia on TV. The movie is about a homosexual man who was fired because he contracted AIDS. His bosses made it seem like he was incompetent but in the end, they fired him due to their prejudices. The Denzel Washington character reminded me of me (and not because of his looks but more of his attitude).

Throughout the course of the movie, his character moved from hating the man, to then serving him as his lawyer and finally becoming his friend. He did not agree with his lifestyle but he did not let that prevent him from building relationship with him and learning from him as well. His notions went out the door as love flooded in.

I say that i was reminded of myself because often I walk in with preconceived notions of people due to my past and upbringing but as I get to know someone, i see their heart and then everything else becomes secondary. Salvation of the neighbor kind happen not through crusades but through relationships, when we are willing to have our thoughts leave and love come in.

Two weeks away

Anticipation is killing me! 

We are two weeks away from our fall kickoff and I'm so excited. I keep on going through my mind all the things I need to have ready for that night that is driving me nuts! Pay your special guest. Have your prizes. Promote, promote, promote! All the small stuff. All the big stuff. Talk to the grade 9s. Mail out your calendars.

So much to do. I read this morning about how good leaders take on the role of a servant rather than trying to gain positioning. I don't want this year to be about me or MY accomplishments but rather about how the team I work with served our church's students, their friends and their parents and ultimately, the Lord through hard work, perseverance and character. I trust that he's in this whole thing. Often times, we can only go up to bad and swing away, hoping to make good contact on the ball and bring some people home. And if we're lucky, we might come home too.
