MONDAY MORNING MUSINGS

Caffeinated Christianity
We ended the series yesterday with Frank Summers sharing a great message in an all-round excellent service. Good crowd too. For those who are going to miss the cappuccinos in the foyer, fear not - plans are afoot to make them a regular part of our Bagel Cafe Menu in the near future. Although the series is over, our invitations were not dated so we'll use the theme in some of our advertising for some time to come.

AWOL
Yep, I wasn't there for the service yesterday - though I was around for a couple of hours before it started. I took the Sunday to accept an invitation to preach at Integrity Christian Fellowship for Tony Balsamo. They have their public launch on Easter Sunday and Tony wanted me to speak to the substantial group of folks they have already and give them a team talk to help prep them for the big day. Enjoyed being there - planting is fun - planters are insane!

TEXAS
Leaving for Dallas shortly to spend a couple of days with Jonathan and Donna. It has been a tough couple of weeks for them, but by the time we get there they should have the final diagnosis and hopefully the plan for treating Jonathan's health issues. Did I mention we'll see the grandchildren too??? Back on Thursday afternoon.

LESAYA'S HOME
Chris, Lesaya and Savanna arrived back from South Africa yesterday. Seems like they've been gone for ever, but who can blame them for exchanging three weeks of Long Island winter for three weeks of South African summer? It's good to have them home!
