Uh oh, someone from a rival kickball team in our league in Georgetown has found my blog. I think he is going to use something I said in this post and use it as bulletin board material. I happened to say there wasn’t anything left to look forward to now that we have beaten the (formerly) best team in the league. Well, rally your player Scorchers! The Inferno is gonna burn you.
Scorchers. Inferno. Both pertaining to fire. What can we do to one another? If we try to burn you and you try to burn us…won’t the universe implode or something? And who comes up with these names? Where am I?
Anyway, come on John. Let the smack talk commence. Tell your friends and we’ll see you April 15th.

I read a short article in Leadership Magazine this morning that was quite encouraging. The author, who also happened to be a pastor, recalled an uncomfortable meeting with a congregate. The congregate wanted to let the pastor know just how poor of a performance she thought he was doing. He said he was kind of dumb-struck but he also felt she was right in a way.
I can’t imagine that happening to me. I am my own worst critic but I wouldn’t want one of my students or a student’s parent telling was a bad job I am doing. I already know but the truth still hurts.
The pastor responded to the woman with something like this, (I don’t have the quote in front of my so I’ll paraphrase) “I am not very good and God still wants to use me”.
That’s beautiful. He emphasized grace because we are not good enough to be in leadership. We are not good enough to be pastors or counselors. We are not good at all but He is. His strength and grace is made perfect in our weakness. I know that I am not fully equipped to do the job he wants me to do but I also know that His grace is enough to help me do it.
I would just like to address the person that found my blog yesterday by searching, “Will you be my wife for the weekend?”
No. No, I will not.
