thoughts 2

I took my coat off, a little while ago, and placed it on the corner of my bed.

I thought about slipping my neck tie off my head like I did the other night, but decided it'd just be better to tie it (better) in the morning - so I took it completely off. I took off my dress shirt, put it on the quilt that Erin gave me, texted her a couple of times, and put some oxi-clean on the red sauce stains on some of my clothes.

The stains came out of the tie, for sure. But the dress shirt - not so sure.

I looked at myself in the mirror, though, with my black a-shirt and my low-rise kakis that we scored at a really sweet discount price at Target.

And I thought to myself: "I could work full time, again."

And I'd love to.




This week's been really busy - and I've loved it. Pete's doing a great job, and I've really enjoyed working with everyone on the council. I've had a great time being with the new students, but most of all, I've had an excellent time hosting Dr. Erwin Lutzer.

We were turning the corner off of McBean towards the strip by the Hyatt, when he turned to me and said:

"Well, my dear friend: it would seem that there are, indeed, dark days ahead for the Church."



It was the first time I'd thought about some of the greater implications of the utter reality of the Lord's ordination of our ministry at this particular time in American History with a substantial ammount of anticipation, and maybe even a little bit of fear.

It was also one of the most substantial moments of affirmation, in the pursuit of church-planting in Boulder.

All of a sudden, everything else seemed less scarey.

My heart is beating a little bit harder... and I'm excited.



I stopped at McDonalds, after Target. I got a coke, but I don't think I'm going to finish it. It doesn't taste that great.
