After spending a week with The Treasures, I have decided that I need to be able to be in at least two to three places at one time. One of those places is undisclosable, if that is even a word. The intended tends to live in secret, but I love him still. Another place is a town in Indiana. Doesn't basketball season in Indiana just seem right? And I am particularly fond of a certain coach up there. The other place is a small suburb of our Nation's Capitol. There are six people that live there that are high on my list.
During this week, I have enjoyed playing all kinds of games, feeding faces, wiping faces, having adventures and just a lot of loving that went on. You can't get much better than that. I was also reintroduced to the "sporting parents" mentality as we went to several football practices. God help us all...no wonder children are turning out like they are.
I also attended what I personally consider one of the most mission-minded churches around. What they may not have in numbers and possesions, they make up for in their intent to reach the lost. Their heart for the Gospel and sending out the Gospel is far beyond just talking about it. They are doing it, and doing it with passion. If the saying, "Attitude reflects leadership" is true, and I believe it is, then you can know where the people of Pillar get their unbridled passion for God. It's from the leadership. This past Sunday, a new project was revealed and the casting of a dream was sent out. Check it out
www.praetorianproject.org. It's big, it's hard work, it's almost uncomprehendable that it will happaen, but believe me when I say that God is in this. As the vision was shaping up I found myself saying, "Yes, we can do this!". We all know I DON'T go to this church, but I believe in the church. I have a special interest in this church. I am, after all M/LOTP.....(mother-in-law of the pastor). smile
I love going places, but I also love going home. I go home today with a renewed sense of feeling loved and giving out love. I also love people watching, which is what I am doing right now in the airport. And the sights are quiet riveting.
and once again, there's no place like home.
