Housekeeping Stuff

Hey, friends! I'm looking for some better efficiencies this school year. I love photography and have really enjoyed cruising around flickr.com looking for photos to illustrate blog posts. But finding the right picture... downloading it... chasing down permissions in some cases... takes more time (by far) than writing. So you may see more posts without pictures this year. I hope you'll continue to hang out with me even on the kind of "drab" days. I'm praying through more teaching/speaking stuff this year and need to become increasingly sensitive to economies of time.

I'm also going to consolidate a couple blogs. I'll be sending my Monday morning group here for meeting updates. It will be a bit of "housekeeping" for the rest of you. Just ignore us (or better yet... plan to join us at 8:00 a.m. on Monday's at Cowamunga's in Grapevine... we are what my church calls a "lifegroup"... not a classic Bible study group... but a small body of Christian women who meet to apply God's Word... as reliably as we know how... to "real time" struggles, complexities, and triumphs in our lives. We don't take on extended, structured studies that require a lot of at-home preparation because we're all maxed out as it is. So, this is not exactly BSF. But it is a group that's seriously chasing after God and immersing in the Biblical response to the issues that life throws our way. We have diverse local church representation... the hour goes fast... we all leave feeling somehow stronger than when we arrived... and we'd love to have you join us.)

Next Sonrise Meeting: Monday, September 10: 8:00 a.m. - 9:00 a.m. at Cowamungas in Grapevine.

Topic: Getting Along with Almost Anybody, cont: "Are personality differences a healthy but misunderstood part of God's design?"

Upcoming: Monday, September 17 (8:00 a.m. - 9:00 a.m. at the Cow): Pastor Ross Sawyers joins us to talk about social responsibility/activism and church vision. If you want to know more about 121 Community Church, please join us!
