Our day started at 7:30 AM and my last meeting wrapped up around 9:30 PM. That’s a long day! We’ve done enough planning retreats to know that it’s going to be overwhelming. As our staff grows and church grows it gets more and more complicated. But I’ve learned to manage the tension of lots of personalities, lots of projects, and lots of dreams.

2009 is going to be an amazing year! We’ll launch our fifth location in February. Hoping to open a second coffeehouse. Looking to launch a virtual location or internet campus. And we want to do a “dream center” kind of ministry. Excited about all of the above!

By the way, ate at Cheesecake Factory twice today. Spicy Cashew Chicken for lunch. Crusted Romano Chicken for dinner. And Banana Cream cheesecake with raspberry puree for dessert. Hmmmm good.
