Home from Catalyst

Well we are home from a whirlwind trip to Dallas for the Catalyst One Day Conference. We heard Andy Stanley (http://www.northpoint.org/) and Craig Groeschel (http://www.lifechurch.tv/) speak about momentum in the church. Momentum in the church? That kinda seems like an oxymoron to me. An easier topic might be comfort in the church or "how to stay happy right where you are" or even better "Change in the church? Not on my watch". I have always struggled with the fact that anywhere else on this Earth or even in our Universe change is constant, unless we are talking about "the church". It is said that the only thing in life that is "constant" is change. Except, in the church, where the only thing constant about change is our constant fight to try to make sure change can't happen. Silly us, if its constant everywhere then it will also be constant in the church. So, what the heck am I blogging about? Well, I am not exactly sure except to maybe tell you that I have spent the last couple of years trying to not only embrace change but to jump on board its big comet tail and ride it through God's perfect kingdom. Maybe its to tell you to grab hold of this comet and join me, join Dr Rush, join Nathan, join Damon, and even our newest licensed dude Drew as we navigate God's ever changing work as it impacts our community, our state, this country and our world for His "Greater Good". Oh, and don't worry! Even with all of us on board there is still more than enough room for you and whoever else wants to take the ride of their life!
