Giving up...

I turn 39 today. It makes me think about all the things I thought I would accomplish by the time I turned 40. I guess I have one year left to make a whole lot of cash, win a Grammy, achieve world domination, and get rock hard abs.

I've decided to give up on those "ambitions". Not because they are too hard, or too large, but because they are too selfish and small! I'm going to focus all my energy on one thing, one dream, one ambition. I want to change the way people think about church and (by association) Jesus in our community!

A dream like actionchurch will certainly take more than a year to accomplish, and I know cannot possibly do it "on my own". But being even a small part of such a "big" dream sounds like a great way to spend the rest of my life. Oh...and I will keep working on those "rock hard abs"...I know they are "under there" somewhere.
