Not a creature was stirring….except me. :)

Christmas has knocked everyone in the Lamb house out and therefore I am the only one up. We had a great Christmas this year. I LOVED doing Christmas Eve in the morning and having the rest of the night off!!! I’m still pumped up about what happened yesterday and I can’t wait to see what God has planned in 07. It is going to be an awesome year and we are going to turn the heat of telling the story of Jesus up like never before.

We have an entire week off and I am looking forward to chilling out. We are going to have a very laid back service this weekend. We are going to be talking about 07, doing a little praying, and sharing the Lord’s Supper together. It is going to be a fun Sunday.

This week I intend to really focus on how I am going to grow as a pastor, teacher, and a leader. It is so easy when you are so focused on what is happening in your church that you forget that you need to continue to grow. I live by the conviction that The Stone will never grow beyond my own personal growth and the growth of our staff. This week I am going put the steps necessary to insure I am growing.

It is going to be a relaxing week and I am looking forward to some time with the family and some personal self-reflection.
