Mornings, Gambling, a Mopey Pastor and Gary’s Feet

March 16, 2006 in WiredChurches.com with 4 Comments

Got to sleep in 15 minutes longer this morning. The alarm didn’t go off until 5:00 a.m. Have I mentioned yet that I’m not really a morning person?

We had a great experience today teaching the two workshops at North Metro. They were great hosts. Also got to meet a lot of very cool church leaders from the Southeast region. We had folks join us from South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia and Florida in addition to the great state of Georgia.

The highlight of the day, though, was finally getting the opportunity to meet Gary Lamb in person. I’m pretty sure Gary was the only person who wore flip flops to the workshops today. I was impressed. I don’t have handsome feet, so I can’t pull off that look. Gary, though, has stunning feet. It’s no wonder he’s had so much success planting Ridgestone. Gary has megachurch feet. There’s no doubt about it.

Tonight, I’m back in the hotel room catching up on the NCAA tournament. At this point, only 5 of my first 11 picks have been correct. This is something to keep in mind if you ever start to gamble on sporting events based on my predictions. In case you’re wondering, though, I’m projecting Duke to win it all. Actually, I made that prediction last April.

Finally, let me just confirm for the record that I don’t like traveling without my wife. I can make it a day or two, but after that I get mopey. I arrive back home tomorrow. Can’t wait.

(I miss you my girl.)

    They are pretty sexy feet if I do say so myself. :)

    Dude, it was great meeting you today! BTW, loved the pink shirt. :)

    5 out of 11? That’s a shame. A girl in our office had 15 out of 16. Incredible.

    You guys should head up to Oklahoma or Kansas for a seminar sometime. We’d love to have you!

    Great workshop yesterday…I went to the FI workship last year up @ GCC – it’s great to hear the “overlap” between the 2 workshops…you guys are really on the same page of the playbook. Also, i thought only “artsy guys” liked pink shirts…?

    Todd, it got worse. I only picked 21 of the 32 games correctly. That’s horrible.

    Actually, Kansas/Oklahoma is on our list of potential future locations.

    Rick, pink is the new color for administrators too. We’re trying to become one with the artists.
