A Beautiful Morning

Today is a beautiful day already.  I was up at 5 am, awakened by the thunder and lightening.  It didn't turn out to be much of a storm, but I love sitting up and hearing the sound.  There is still an occasional thunder off in the distance as I write these words.

After many weeks of hectic-ness, I feel like I have a few weeks to collect my thoughts, dig deep into relationships and ministry, and spend some time with friends.  I continue to return to the understanding that all ministry is relationship.  If we have relationship, we can ministry, encourage, challenge, change, and build God's kingdom together.

I want my relationships to go deep, not simply broad.
I want my friendships to have quality, not simply quantity.
I want those around me to understand that I really care for them.

Amen
