Skirting the Issue.

Does there come a point sometimes where in trying not to do something, you admit that you really want to do it?

Does there come a point sometimes where when everyone is thinking the same thing that you just throw caution to the wind?

Does there come a point where you just admit something for what it is and move on in that admission?

Yes, Yes, and Yes.

I got home Wednesday afternoon.  I’ve had plenty of time to spend hanging out with people.  It’s good getting to see all the people I’ve missed while I was in Colorado.  I’ve spent time with the family, and friends, and all the important people.  I got to go to church yesterday, and it was good to see the people there.  It’s been a good 4 days.  An intense four days, but a good four days.  When you’ve been gone, and you come back, the phone is always ringing with someone wanting to hang out.  That’s kind of a nice complement.

I haven’t really gotten my wish to fly back and just kind of show up places surrepitiously, but I guess that goes with the territory.  People know I’m back.  It’s not like I’m going to be able to surprise anyone by showing up someplace.

Church planters school starts tomorrow, so I’ll be busy for this upcoming week.  That will probably be a good thing–it will keep my occupied so I can concentrate on other things.  I’ve taken the approach to learning about ministry that I really don’t know that much, so anything I can learn, any skill I can try to cultivate, will make me more prepared to be a better pastor down the road.  I like that approach–it’s a lot more humble than I normally am, and the best part is that it’s true–I really don’t know that much, in actuality.

Well, dinner with the parents is almost ready.  I’ll be back later, perhaps.  Hope everything is going well with you all.  Blessings.
