Grace Filled Weekend

This Sunday at Ezra we gave people an opportunity to respond to God’s grace in Jesus. Seven people responded. Five trusted Christ for the very first time and two others re-dedicated their lives.

At Ezra it is our joy to “help people connect and re-connect with God.”

Finding the Zone

Being productive requires that we find our “zone” and operate out of it. Are you in a rhythm? Are you motivated? Are you focused? Find your zone and work it.

Do you know where you’re going?

The funny thing about leadership is that it requires that the leader knows where he/she is going. Think about it. If you are “leading” then by definition you should know where you’re going. Maybe you don’t have the level of precision you’d like, but do you know where you’re leading people? Do you have a picture of a desirable future? Are you moving towards something specific or general? Have you been there before? Do you know if it even exists? Are you leading people to the best possible place?

If you’re a leader, do you know where you’re going?

Bringing the cow picture back!

Ok, found the cow picture. Here it is–enjoy!

Vacation

I’m on vacation and loving it. Trying to figure out how to auto post this to twitter, but maybe later.

I got hacked

Hello world! My blog (which had not really been updated in 6 months) got hacked. If you’re one of the 3 people who ever visited it, I apologize for any inconvenience. I know that you’ve been disappointed with limited access to my amazing posts. The picture of me with the cow was a truly inspiring photograph, but alas it is gone. Welcome and watch for updates.
