Roll Call & Response to 5 Questions

I'm one of the ones who let busy-ness take me and keep me away from connecting here enough.
So here are my answers to what Dave proposed as "Maybe 5 questions"

1. Biggest thing that's happened in your life over the past 3 months?
Having my peaceful world turned upside down by the turmoils and burdens of 3 particular "Timothy" guys.
Simply put, God called my bluff on discipling and "doing life" with people in all situations as a brother and friend:
grieving with them, helping them find a job, out of homelessness, crying thru a failing marriage.

2. Most challenging thing that's going on right now in your world?
Fundraising for Full-time Permanent Ministry in France

3. Best meal you've eat'n (because who doesn't love food)
Jess Sagun made cube steak and gravy and mashed potatoes. Best homecooked meal this year!

4. Spiritually what are you wrestling with or learning right now?
Surrendering parts of myself to God. My whole heart. Realizing I need forgiveness not just for my sin but for the wrong motivations for my "righteous good works".

5. Reading anything?
Prodigal God by Tim Keller
Too Small To Ignore by Wes Stafford
Titus, Habakkuk
Just wanna add that Leadership Summit rocked my face off. Day 1 especially from Hybels to Keller to Harvey Carey. I pray we who attended will no longer be content to play church but to be the church 24/7. That was the gist behind every message...thru the transformative power of the Gospel Jesus.
