PEOPLE
Having spent most of my life going to bed at midnight or after, I'm still adjusting to the new regime that leaves me tired enough right now - before 9.30pm - that I'm ready for bed and sleep. I never stay awake to watch the Tonight Show nowadays, which is probably not a bad thing!
Tomorrow will be an earlier than usual start as I have a meeting in Syosset at 7.00am. What idiot scheduled a meeting that early when it will take 45 minutes to get there? Good question - well, it wasn't this idiot!
There's a pastors' breakfast where a bunch of people are going to talk about the Willow Creek Association's August leaders' conference. They reckon on having 70,000 leaders sit in on the conference, most of them at satellite relays and a few actually sitting in Illinois and watching Bill Hybels in the flesh.
I won't even be around for the conference - vacation calls!
But I want to meet up with these guys tomorrow. I enjoy hanging out with pastors. I'm meeting with three different guys one on one this week, went to my regular monthly get-together with Patchogue pastors on Tuesday and will use the travel time to get to Syosset and back to hang out with my friend Anthony Pelella from Medford Assembly of God.
Pastoring is a special call and I've done it for longer than most, so if I can be an encourager for any of the colleagues God has placed around me, I want to do just that. I've always had a lot of support in ministry and it feels like this is the time for me to give back.
That's cool!
