an especially good staff meeting

That may sound like an impossibility to you, but it is true.

Today was a very encouraging staff meeting for me. It wasn't that anything all that awesome took place (although Kathy gave an incredible book report). It was more the sense of togetherness, the light-hearted laughter and the personality chemistry that made the meeting special. After our hour and half together and a nice lunch after that, I was left with some of these feelings:

More optimism for the future
More energy to pursue the vision.
Greater sense of well being for the church.
Grateful heart for the team.
Amazement at the skill level of such a young staff.
Desire to dig deeper, fight harder and work smarter.

Thanks Than, Megan, Spencer, Kathy, Norm, J, Rebecca, and Letha! I love working with you guys!
