A Friday Recap.

  1. Necessary Endings by Dr. Henry Cloud is wrecking me. Completely.
  2. I always find myself seeking salvation over again around this time. March Madness, you have done it again.
  3. After reading THIS book to my oldest daughter, I am convinced that Dr. Seuss may have worked in a church at least once or twice in his life.
  4. Wrote a prayer this week for Sheridan Richards. Many more prayers to come.
  5. Became somewhat disappointed in a few leaders over the past few days (thanks to a few Twitter searches). It truly only takes 140 characters to reveal your own.
  6. Hard to believe that THIS was nearly two years ago. I still receive an email about it from time to time.
  7. Speaking of prayer, there is perhaps no one my wife and I have prayed harder for this year than my friend and brother, Shaun King. He and his wife Rai took an unprecedented stance this week; one that is turning the city of Atlanta upside down.
  8. “Christ beside me, Christ before me, Christ behind me, Christ within me, Christ beneath me, Christ above me.” – St Patrick (best thing I’ve heard/read all week)

A Friday Recap.

  1. Woke up today to discover that Japan was just hit with a massive earthquake; one of the largest ever. Have mercy on your people God.
  2. Decided to do something a little different this year in honor of the Lent Season.
  3. Our family’s love affair for the city of Austin continues to grow day by day. Thanks in large part to some high flying this past Sunday.
  4. “Be very careful not to spiritualize your own laziness.” – Pace Hartfield
  5. Grateful to have ChurchLeaders.com feature an article I wrote. Cool stuff.
  6. Extremely excited for my friend and brother Scott Williams. He is going to help change what Sunday Mornings will look like for years to come.
  7. Have a feeling this picture is going to birth yet another book idea out of me very soon.
  8. Wrote a prayer this week for Latosha Williams. Many more prayers to come.
  9. SXSW begins today. (Did I already mention that I love this city?)

    A Friday Recap.

    • Truly convinced nothing can compare to the joy of FINISHING.
    • Other than a few auto-tweets from my blog, I must say it’s been quite refreshing to stay off of Twitter for a while. May have to do this more often.
    • Thinking of ordering THIS documentary next week. Saw a small portion of it recently and I have a whole new admiration for Pastor Steven Furtick. Take a look at THIS and discover why he is one of my favorite leaders.
    • Excited about the opportunity to hang out Louie Giglio and his team at THIS event in April.
    • Working on a ‘gathering’ this November here in Austin involving a few of my favorite worship leaders. Fun stuff.
    • Been blessed over the past few years to have a number of church planters as friends. Hope they still want to be friends with me after writing THIS.
    • My wife posed a great question earlier this week. Still stunned by it.
    • Great to have another set of grandparents in town this weekend. The Austin evangelism continues.
