The morning was booked with meetings, but it was great. Met for the first time in weeks with my pastor friends for worship at the Crossing's office for what Jon DeGroot calls, "Harp and Bowl." Go to http://www.ihop.org/ (then click "Prayer Room" on the top right of the screen) to see what the format is like. Actually if any are free on a Wednesday 10 a.m., you are welcome to join us for an hour of worship and prayer. This prayer time is so wonderful for church worship leaders because it is often difficult to relax and enjoy worship when you are leading worship. (constantly thinking about what is next and who should be where...etc.) This worship time is always feels fresh and new. Thanks God for this time of renewal.
Later I got to meet with Connie and Gary (two new Rejoicers). It was fun to hear their perspective about Rejoice! and their dreams of how they can join us be about what God is already doing in our midst.
Last, was Theology on Tap. We had some new faces tonight. And to be honest, I never know what to expect from these get togethers. Sometimes they are deep and thought provoking. Other times they are jovial and a little goofy. Last night's was both...and...what a blast! Thanks God for showing up last night and all day. I guess I am constantly learning that you are always there, but it is always wonderful to be reminded of your surprises!

I love books and movies that have a happy ending. Maybe I’m a sap, but real life can be sad or frustrating, so when I escape into a book or a movie, I don’t want more of the same “real life” experiences…I want to feel better when it’s all said and done. That’s why today was so great. This is how the bulk of my day went: I had an unproductive phone call with an insurance company. I had an aggravating and disappointing experience at a sentencing for a felony child support case I was working on. One of my computer programs was giving me heartburn. More new work appeared on my desk than the work I was able to complete. All-in-all, it was a somewhat frustrating day. Then I went to Theology on Tap tonight. I am so glad that I did. Talk about a happy ending. We talked, we shared, and most of all—we laughed—a LOT. Thank you, God, for the happy ending to my day.
