Have I lost my Mind?

It is February and in two days I will be on my way to see family in Ohio. Yes, Ohio....I must be crazy! This morning it was 2 degrees with winds blowing at 18 miles an hour. That puts the wind chill at something like..."my Lord it's cold and I can't feel my feet" and I am choosing to go there with out being hog tied and thrown in a trunk, which should be the only reason why anybody heads that far north in the middle of winter. Does that make me certifiable?

Well anyhoo, we'll make the best of it. It will be nice seeing my family and gettin' some of momma's homemade collard greens, pinto beans (Yeah I might be from the north but my mother's Kentucky roots run deep) and some cone pone. That's corn bread if ya'll didn't know! I may be freezin' next week on the outside, but momma's cooking will have me warm on the inside clean down to my toes!!!

Speaking of going back to Ohio I just want to put it out there for the record....I love Georgia...and more specifically I love Woodstock. My hometown in Ohio, church, and friends will always be special to me, but It feels great to be right where God has called us to be. I feel like we are just starting to find our groove and the next five years is going to blow our minds. I love what God is doing in the lives of my fellow emc-ers, I love that we are seeing people come to Christ almost weekly, and I love that you can sense God is up to something. I love that I am already worried about our Easter Sunday's attendance...not because of trying to fill the place, but figuring out what to do if we overfill it!!! It's going to be nice to get away, from Sunday night to next Friday, but I'm glad I'm not missing the following Sunday. And I'll be itching to get back to the harvest field God has called me and the team at emc to. Invite some friends out as we look over the next 3 weeks at the rest of our series "dealing with difficult people" This Sunday, dealing with the overly needy people in our lives. Then on the 25th we'll look at dealing with manipulative people and finally on March 4th we'll cover the subject of hypocritical people in our lives.
I can't wait until Sundays each week! I look forward to seeing you and watching God make a difference in your life and the lives of your friends that you are investing in and inviting to the embassy. Love ya guys!!! Thanks for letting me pastor such a great church full of people passionate about changing their world. Viva la Revolution!!!
