The people often joke that our staff is on a full time vacation because we have so much fun together. They are right. I love the dudes I work with. Outside of church we are all friends. Matter of fact we are small enough staff-wise where I would say we are family. We fight like family and we have fun together like family.

Working at RSC is a blast and I try as the leader to keep that atmosphere in the office. I like to say the RSC office is like a 24/7 frat party minus the booze.

However I have learned that when yo so something you are passionate about like starting a church and when you work with guys you love, it is real easy to not stop and realize you need a break. We have been going non-stop for 18 months. There have been a few breaks in between but for the most part it has been non-stop.

Since the start of the year I have been trying my best to do something outside of Ridge Stone and take a day off. People not in ministry will never understand that ministry is 24/7. When I am not at work, I am thinking of work. People’s lives are on the line here and that is hard to turn off. But I have been trying to do it and it is amazing.

I have been going concerts, seeing a few movies, and most of all, I have been turning the phone off, not checking e-mail, and taking a day off here and there. I feel so refreshed. I have been slumbing around today counting the seconds until Monday.

500 is in sight and it is time to get there. I’m looking foward to brainstorming with the team Monday about going to the next level.
