Human Thanking Machine

DSC_3250  I heard a pastor mention that after their church had gone through a huge event, his focus would be on being a "human thanking machine."  That is how I feel after the incredible weekend that we just experienced on Easter.  So today my focus will be on using the following means -- Twitter, Facebook, E-mail, Text-Messaging, Blogging and Voice Mail to thank the various teams and individuals for tremendous output over the past few weeks. 

"We ask you, brothers, to respect those who labor among you and are over you in the Lord and admonish you, and to esteem them very highly in love because of their work. Be at peace among yourselves."
I Thessalonians 5:12,13

Ed,

I know we have a lot to be thankful for -- I am still working on thanking what seems like a countless amount of people (a really good thing) today.

Holy Week Reflections Day 8 - Easter! Today was the final day of our Journey Through Holy Week exercise where for eight days, starting on Palm Sunday and ending today on Easter, we worked through a devotional to help us take in the Holy Week/Easter week experience more richly. A special thanks to Duke University Masters of Divinity graduate David Youngblood for laying out such an anointed Scriptural journey for us to enjoy. Today's prompting was simply Psalm 27:4 "One thing I ask of the LORD, this is what I seek that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze up on the beauty of the LORD and to seek him in his temple." God has been incredibly gracious in calling me to serve Him vocationally in the local church. For anyone whether on staff or in a valued volunteer role there is nothing greater or more fulfilling than to serve Him in His temple. And days like today ... make it all worth it!!!

What is Impressive Our family just back from a short get away to New York City -- my favorite city period! We got to experience some incredible things in our time there -- a Broadway Production, Incredible food & the first game in the new Yankee Stadium. Yet what I experience from my kids was probably the most impressive thing I experienced on the trip. My children Rhett & Emersen, 6 & 3 respectively, endured an 7-hour delay at JFK airport due to a delay. During that time they entertained themselves, made some new friends and for the most part was really well behaved all things considered and this was not just a parent's observation -- other passengers commented as well.
