My mind is zooming this morning...

There is going to be a bunch of different thoughts posted here this morning. I woke up at 5:30 a.m. with my mind already in fourth gear, so here goes...

- Last Sunday I stepped way out of my comfort zone and gave Cornerstone Church a five year commitment. Yes, you read right, a five year commitment. For the past several years I have seen myself as a church redeveloper. (I) have been planning for the past year or so that Boone would be a two year commitment. The church has really grown and I have been thinking through where we would go do this again. God reminded me that I do not make the rules. Cindy and I both feel very strongly that if we left now that the church would really struggle. Understand me, I know that I am not the church, but the work that has been started is not nearly ready to be turned over. So the next step in this process will be for the Lawson's to put a bid in on a home. Keep watching blog for further developments.

- Vision of Cornerstone Church: To create a church that unchurched people would love to attend. (Thanks Andy!)

- I am working on my master's paper. This blog will reflect a lot of the material that I am reading and thoughts that will go along with this. Brian, I could really use your help here. My thesis is, "Does evangelism have a significant role in church growth and if so, in what ways?" Books that I am currently reading are, UnChristian, Leading Comeback Churches, Reveal Where You Are, They Like Jesus But Not The Church, and No Perfect People. Brian, did I mention that I needed your help? Anyone else out there who reads this, Help! Dylan? Help!

- With that being said, I may be blogging more than once a day as I read stuff. If I miss a day or two, come get me! I need to be held accountable.

- Teaching college is going well. I am forging some neat relationships. Buddhism is tough to grasp!

- I have a lot of irons in the fire

- 200 in church last Sunday. Starting a new series this week that I am calling, Finding Your Picture in God's Scrapbook

- As our sweet little Kate would say, Peace out!
