Wow! Not sure I have ever had this dynamic before…my head and heart are spinning on so many things. I’m still reeling from the elation of Dad’s healing. I talked to him today though and he’s in agony from his surgery. Then traveling to Texas last week for C3…I have never been so challenged and motivated before in leadership! Best conference ever! I saw a lot of old friends and made a lot of new ones!
Then to hear the news of Frank going home to Heaven.
Flights were canceled and some of my team couldn’t get home. Then Saturday my bro’s flight was canceled, and he couldn’t get to Northway to speak…yikes! My team has never been more tested and challenged and has never has never stepped UP more. Phenomenal! Thank you…your metal was tested…and it’s strong. Thank you Chad…sorry to wake you up with a nightmare curve ball. Thank you, Sam, for leading the way in production. Thank you, Jason and Luke for your execution. Thank you, Kevin M, for bringing it in Colonie. Thank you, Nicole, Tammy, and Jeremy in CP. Thanks to Kevin B. in Malta. Thank you to Eva and Linda for holding the fort down on day to day operations…and on. I probably will forget somebody…bottom line is thank you to all of our VIPs and team at Northway. I love you guys, and I never been more proud of you.
Saturday, we drove to Oklahoma City to visit with Craig and his team. These guys are so gracious: Craig Groeschel and Bobby Gruenewald, Lance, Terry, and Trevor. We went to 3 Life Church campuses and learned a ton. God also parted the waters last week and allowed me to sit down with some of the greatest leaders in the church today for Cremeans Couch. Wow, God is all over this, and I can’t wait to launch it. I’m out of breath…I’ll go into more detail in future posts and break it down. I’m just trying to catch up. Peace out.
P. S. Can’t wait to preach my head off this weekend at Northway. There is no place like home.
Buddy – I don’t really know you – per se. But I love reading your blog and seeing your attitude come through the computer screen. The ups/downs, the fun and hard work and joy of ministry. Just wanted to encourage you! Keep it up!
Don’t know about CP and Colonie, but Malta was great Saturday night. You’d never know unless Chad told us that it was a last-minute message. Buddy, you have some fantastic people with you here.
Alex, thanks for the encouragement…it means a lot. I’m very excited about where God is taking this blog…love yours by the way. Keep it up as well! Please help me spread the word about Cremeans Couch…it will be such an encouragement to leaders and pastors in the ups and downs of it all.
Marti, thanks! They are a GREAT team!
