Seattle bound. Vegas bound.
We signed our Lead Team, along with Thad for the multi-site exposed conference today. The conference is in Seattle and I am already dreading the flight. I hate flying. However, I am pumped up about the conference. I am so pumped about this conference. I love Mark Driscoll and I love John Bishop. Bishop is one of the guys I have wanted to meet for a while. I LOVE their story and it motivates me in a big time way. Can’t wait to hear both of these guys speak. The topics for this conference look GREAT!
We are also going to couple the conference with our Lead Team Staff Retreat. The conference ends on Tuesday and we are going to leave there and fly down to Vegas until Friday. We will be so close and Vegas is SO cheap during the week that we couldn’t pass up the opportunity to hang there for a couple of days and do some planning and dreaming. I love what Ed Young Jr. says, “Vegas has nothing to say, but they know how to say it. The church has everything to say, but typically doesn’t know how to say it.” We’ve got a ton of work to do and I think Vegas will fuel the creative juices. We’ve got to redo our org chart, we have got to plan out our preaching calendar for the summer and fall, and we’ve got to talk about our structure as we get ready to launch multiple campuses. Adam and I are the only ones who have been to Vegas so I can’t wait to work all day and spend the evenings walking the strip. I PROMISE I will keep Preston and Tim away from the poker tables.
Working hard and playing hard. I love it!
