I wonder if anyone misunderstood my words today? Sometimes speaking and leading a church can make one feel like they are running out of gas. Of course when there is a pump with "Humble Gasoline" you are never allowed to run out! Ha!

I know that God has given us a vision to follow as a church but sometimes when I am tired I wonder who will really step up and go with us. How is it that so many remain uninvolved? Can we really expand to new frontiers of ministry without a major commitment from more people?

I feel like I am running out of gas because I am anxious to see the improvements that are so necessary on our existing building. It will take more money than we have yet received so I guess I will trust God to touch some hearts and pocketbooks.

I am running out of gas because sometimes coming up with intelligent things to say that are meaningful and lifechanging for such a diverse crowd of people is almost more than I can do at times. I guess I will have to keep trusting God to give me messages and by the way I wish God would just email them on a weekly basis!

I guess I shouldn't write on Sunday afternoon! Here comes the summer ready or not.
