Summer

I'm looking at what the summer includes.  I really sense in my spirit a few things need to adjust for the next month or so.  Weekly "Friday Thoughts" is one of them.  

"Friday Thoughts" is often a good unloading for me of some of the overflow thoughts and questions that run through my head like 5th graders fighting over a gallon of Mt. Dew.  

Thanks for your feedback and for spending a few moments with me each week.  What started a few years ago as silly has really grown to a sometimes less silly branch of my investing in people.

I'm going to take July (and maybe some of August) to focus on some other projects and clear my head for a new season of thoughts and challenges.

Be watching - I have a feeling I will be much more holy and wiser and taller and thiner and younger and awesomeer and abunchofotherthingser come August.

Please be in the Word this summer!
Please risk godly relationships this summer!
Please listen for the Lord this summer!
Please grow in your faith this summer!

Why I’m excited about summer

It’s time for a Dave list.

Why I’m excited about summer:

1. Some people, including me, will grow in the Lord.

It’s not about a building, a vacation, or a celebration - I’m thinking about being closer to God.

I’m thinking about the kind of thing that will not change with a Presidents pen or politicians promise.

What makes me smile right now has nothing to do with “success” or comfort.

This is not about the right person doing the right thing so that I will be happier.

Knowing who to blame for an oil spill or it’s clean up isn’t registering on my “wow-o-meter.”

I am excited about those of us who will:
Cross lines with the Lord that He has been asking us to cross,
Stand for something that matters for eternity,
Let go of what has held us captive,
“Taste and see that the Lord is good,”
Swim in the refreshing pool of anointing,
Put away arguments that weaken our impact,
Say “forgive me,”
and follow Christ with abandon.

Ya, that’s it. That’s my list of one. Right now I’m excited about supernatural transactions that are taking place, and will take place, this summer.

Oh, how I want to be one of those growing people - will be be one with me?

Excited,

Pastor Dave
