I got really excited today about some pretty mundane things. Well, mundane to the rest of the world, I guess—but when I stumbled upon them, they became extraordinarily good finds, and I got worked up enough to take at least half-an-hour to calm down. No kidding. (I try really hard not to exaggerate.)
You want to know what did it? Sure, I’ll tell you:
1) While browsing www.stevenfurtick.com, I discovered that Elevation Church is hosting an event for church-planters and like-minded folk (like-Revive-folk :) ) about the church-planting process. I got so excited, though, not just because I go to Elevation Church, but because I know what to expect. They hosted a similar event just this spring, and some of our Revive staff even had the chance to volunteer and glean some (literally) valuable information from the talks; that one was called “Thr3e.” This one will be “Impart.” And I am totally ready to be a part.
2) I’m currently reading a book, on recommendation of our Director, called The Creative Leader by Ed Young. He hosts annual C3 conferences (Creative Church Conferences—sorry to be redundant there) at his church in Dallas. His is a creative church. So it seemed like a good idea to visit the website he mentioned in his book: www.creativepastors.com. Once there, I saw all the stuff about C3 and how they’re promoting God’s work in the church by giving each attendee a new pair of shoes, and I got all excited and clicked on the “Register here” link—only to find that registration had closed. Bummer! But only a little. On the other hand, by subscribing to receive updates and a newsletter, I guaranteed that I can get great deals and cool ideas. Bingo!
It’s been a good day.
