Went to the last 722 tonight and Jarrett Stevens did an outstanding job of leading, inspiring and encouraging them in change. The title of the message was Next Is Now! Given that he's probably been asked "What's Next?" a gazillion times, it was the perfect title. He challenged us to go out and be the church ... in the city, on the basketball court, etc. I had heard the saying a million times, you might be the only Jesus some will ever see. I like it, but like Jarrett's wording better tonight ... you might be the only "church" some will ever see. We're in ramp up season and things are extremely busy. It felt good to hit the pause button tonight. It's only Tuesday night and I'm ready for my Saturday off.
A funny sidenote. There was a serious traffic jam when I went home this morning. Here's some thoughts:
You know you are in a bad traffic jam when...
1. It takes 2 hours and 5 minutes to make your normal 15 minute drive.
2. You have time to clean out your overstuffed glove compartment.
3. Even the alternative route was wretched.
4. When the people on the radio say that the police said the accident should be cleared in .... another 3 hours, which was already 3 hours after it had happened.
5. You feel like you need to pray and ask Jesus into your heart again when it's all said and done. If it is possible to lose your salvation, I think I did it three times in those two hours.
We got back from Monday's Opening Chapel at 2 a.m. this morning ... guess what awaited us? A2 a.m. traffic jam ... they stopped traffic on 285 for an hour to hang an exit sign ... ugh!
