Sorry I’m Late
A Pastor friend of mine had this on his blog today and I thought it was good enough to steal. He stole it from someone first so I am just returning the favor. For as long as I can remember – this has been a HUGE pet peeve of mine. Enjoy.

What is the most effective, career/life altering, and most simple secret to success?
BE ON TIME!!!
When you keep people waiting for no good reason, you undermine your relationship with them.
When you are late to a meeting, you lose the advantage and edge in the conversation.
When you show up late to work, your boss puts you in the slacker category.
When your company misses a deadline, your clients remember.
When you’re late with your mortgage, you toast your credit and borrowing power.
I have a simple philosophy. There are only 2 reasons for being late.
1. You’re dead.
2. Or you wanted to be late.
My point is simple: Be on time.
The Last 10ish…
Changing things up a little. I am going to start alternating the “MidWeek Review” with the “Last 10ish” Twitter Updates regarding Freedom Church. Not on Twitter? You should be.
Pics of the Kids
I don’t think that I have EVER put up pics of the kids… That will change – if only for a day:
Meet Lexi, London, and Bryce. By the way, since I know you will ask – go ahead and email Allyson for all your photography needs.
Things I am Praying for…
Here are a few things that I am praying for and that I want to throw on your radar. I invite you to pray as well! Prayer is powerful and I want you to join me in the journey!
1. December Series: We Believe
This is going to be a series that serves as a catalyst for everything we do in 2010! It’s an important series that will contain 2 important announcements to be given on December 6th.
2. Big Announcements!
This is what I was referring to under #1. Gotta be there on December 6th to hear all about it! Great stuff in store!
3. CD Release Party December 13th!
I am very proud of Blake, Tyler, and our entire Worship/Production Department. The CD isn’t just a collection of random songs. It chronicles the journey of Freedom Church from our inception until now. It’s an original CD with songs that were written by our Worship team. Exciting Stuff! It is fantastic and I can’t wait for you to hear it!
4. Christmas Eve!
2 Worship Experiences at 3:30 and 5PM! Both hours will be Slammed so make plans now to get there early! Invite, invite, invite! People will come to church on Christmas Eve! Going to be an incredible night!
5. Opening Series in January
I have the concepts down as well as the majority of the material – but no name as of yet. Praying specifically to see TONS of people experience life in Christ! Seriously, I am praying that 100 people give their lives to Christ over the course of this series!
6. 2 Yr. Anniversary on January 31!
Hard to believe it’s almost been 2 years! We are going to celebrate in a HUGE way! Also, we will be kicking something off that day that we have never done before (think back to #1). It’s going to be a game-changing day! Can’t wait!
There are so many opportunities staring us in the face. Pray that God will do what only He can do!
