Weekends Were Made For This

The consensus is: God is up to something BIG!

After a great day of team building with the staff in Boise on Friday, we had another great day of learning and growing at the Re-Tooling event Saturday. Much good from both the general sessions and the workshops, plus the bonus of lunch with John Jackson. The lunch was worth the price of admission, and for proof of that, see Aaron's blog. The drive home was an idea incubator, and that was just the cherry on the cake of a great trip.

Then Sunday happened. God was obviously speaking to people in the room. I know this from two sources: one, the feedback about what people heard in the message about being where God is and asking to see more of Him in our lives, plus how that equates to seeing something happen in Galveston this spring, and two, that people complained about the 'butt crack' comment.

Yes, I know it was close to the line, however, if you could have seen how folks were dialed into the next few minutes, you would know that it was worth the risk. People were leaning forward physically, open to hear what God was doing in Moses' life and how He wants that same relationship with us. I may not always make everyone happy with my comments, but if people are listening to God, I'm more than happy to take the heat.

God is speaking, people are listening, and the world is waiting for the changed lives of people in Pocatello to go out and make a difference. That's what I call a great weekend!!
