late nights......

For some crazy reason I have been staying up until 3 AM lately. I can't seem to go to sleep. I have been more productive between 10pm and 2am than I should be. The problem is.....I'm not real productive between 7am and 10am....like a should be. Tonight I manhandled my messy, unorganized garage. I started at 930, and finished it up at about 2. Needless to say......It was terrible when I started. After many trips up and down the wiggly attic ladder and out to the trash, I'm satisfied. I could actually pull a car in there.....for now. I'm sure after one decent sized project it will look like a tornado touched down. I almost forgot....My shop light above my work bench caught on fire out of no where. Not really sure what that was all about. pretty weird.

bridging the gap

Over the last 6 months or so I have had a reacurring thought about "bridging the gap" between the church and outsiders. I feel like God has been calling me to do something about it. I believe we need to bring the church to the quad cities, before we can bring the quad cities to church. I want to not only say Rock church is a different church, but first prove it. Here is the deal, he staff at the church is doing there part....I believe that. But WE, THE CHURCH, aren't. I feel like God has called me to lead a volenteer funded and opperated ministry. I want to be able to do things for christ that don't just "please" outsiders. I want them to say....."REALLY?" Jesus would do that?....for me? How do I learn more? I'm talking about concerts, bar game triathalons, motocross shows, benefits, etc. I don't have all of the answers. but I feel like the one answer I do have, is the one God is looking for.......YES....YES....YES....I WILL DO IT.
