So today i came into cutter & buck early so I could cover for Nicole who went to a show last night. Waking up early isn’t really a problem for me, it’s wanting to do anything early, that’s the hard part. But it’s been pretty cool, there are more people & more things to do earlier in the day so it goes pretty quick.
It will be nice having an afternoon at home, it’s been awhile since that has been a part of my life and I’m looking forward to it. It’s gonna be great.
As I begin to look to fall I am feeling excitement about all the things that are going to be going on. Transit will launch back up on September 20th, that’s something that I am crazy excited about. Even though it’s another thing that I have to prepare for each week, it’s totally fun because we get to talk about the bible, worship and build community.
Also I am starting to plan for elevate 07, which was a highlight for the past year. This year I hope that it’s even better, and that we really have a great retreat.
We are also going to begin planning for a membership class thing, that I haven’t thought of a name for yet, but I’m working on it. Instead of a one time meeting and peacing out, we are going to spend some time talking about our core values, our churches statement of faith, our six purposes (the wheel), the mission of the church, membership duties, and all that. I’m really excited. I think a program like this will really help get our church people on the same page, and welcome in the people who are on the fringe of our community. This is going to be a great way to get them connected with other people, and get them plugged into the life of the church.
Summer is fun, but fall is a great time for new life, and growth, and excitement and I can’t wait to see all that God has in store for us. This is a great season to be a part of Creekside Church. It’s gonna be quite a ride!
This week is crazy busy, the church moving, the baby, the house, the wife, the jobs, all of life adding up to one colossal mega week.
And through it all I have been unable to regularly go the the gym I gotta figure out a way to get back there and get on track
So Cutter & Buck has given me a flex pass, which is a buss pass that works on two out of the three bus systems in our region. The Bus that I want to take home however is in the system that does not take our pass. GRR! But there’s another bus that might work, but I would just have to hustle out of here like it ain’t nobody’s business. So hopefully I can make that happen. We will see.
If I can make it to this bus, and get home alive and in one piece then that would be wonderful. I have been really frustrated lately with gas prices that driving my explorer has been leading me to curse OPEC, and that’s not the Christian thing to do.
So I’m trying out this bus thing. If I can save money by taking the bus, then it’s worth the time. I have also found that I can be quite productive on the bus. So that’s nice, I can do work and make calls, or just read which is something that I haven’t really had much time to do lately. So we’ll see how this bus thing works out for me. It’s gonna be a fun.
Continued . . .
For some reason blogger wouldn’t let me on last night so I had to save this as a draft in my email.
Riding the bus does seem to have it’s advantages, I can work while I ride the bus, make calls, read, go over messages, write, all that stuff, that I can’t do while driving. One of the things that I’ve been stressing out about is trying to get as many hours of productivity as possible. It’s pretty difficult at times because I’ve been spending quite a bit of time driving, so it was lame-o, but now I can take that drive time and turn it into productivity. So we’ll see how that goes.
I didn’t take the bus today because I went to work early to cover somebody, and Kathy wanted me home at a specific time, which the bus would not allow, so I drove. Traffic wasn’t too bad, so I was able to stop in at starbucks, get my Devo’s in and start prepping a little bit for my next message on Sunday Morning, I was going to try to get my email and stuff too, but the network that I was getting there wasn’t available anymore. I hope it comes back. But anyway, I’ve had a fairly productive day.
I only wish I could get my gym routine going again. Then life would feel normal, as for right now though I just need to watch what I eat and take the stairs whenever possible.
