Your office at Chipotle awaits for you here in CO! I tried to keep it warm while you were gone…don’t mind the shoe marks on the table.

“God is not green; Kermit is”, hmm a bet of a red herring I believe.

If he wouldn’t volunteer to do the work of the ministry, then how can he lead others to do it?

Its a good reminder that we are not fighting the deacons but one who would rather slice and dice us. Yikes.

Love to hear you comment on this quote:

My job is not to determine where the church will go, but to be faithful.

And this sounds awfully familiar:

Imagine if our churches stopped talking about quantity and start talking about quality. What if we saw people in our churches investing in others.

60 day experiment to know God and community at Gateway… all in his book Soul Revolution.

Feel free to still google it.

My heart resonates with the point of leading others to live in connection to Christ (who know Christ) so that they will grow the community with others out of connection (and may have never known Christ).

As I read the list of questions to help me find me idols, I think of the questions that would lead me to dream what God want to do through me. The fine line of my desires and the God given desires of my heart is eternally important.

I’ll chew on this:

“If we are not close to people that are far from God, we are not as close to God as we think we are.”

My favorite:

“God’s dream is that imagination begins to overtake memory.”

Reminds me of kingdom living…

Comment on excellence in the funniest of places … by Rich

Brett, you are ridiculous.

Excellent is the enemy of Just Good Enough. People out there making things Excellent are raising the bar for those of us who are content to let things stay Just Good Enough, and it has really wrecked our world.

Seriously, why would Starbucks spend resources on improving your cup lid? It’s a throwaway piece.

I think if the Just Good Enoughs all put our heads together, we could slowly and stealthily decrease our standards in a way that people hardly notice. One day, what we now know as Substandard or even Rather Poor will be accepted as Just Good Enough.

The only thing standing between me and my dream are all those wasteful, ignorant Excellent people.
