It’s Sunday Morning…

Jun 11, 2006

And I can’t WAIT to get to church! I love what I do—seriously—there is not a place on earth I would rather be than Anderson, SC…and there is not a thing I would rather be doing than being a part of NewSpring church.

I often hear in this community, “What is going to happen to NewSpring when Perry leaves?” There are two problems with this question…

#1 - NewSpring is in God’s hands—not mine! What is happening at NewSpring is a God thing, NOT a Perry thing!

#2 - I am not leaving! The mindset of a pastor leaving comes from too many people who have been a part of a church, seen a pastor come in, and then in a year or two the dude is gone. That’s not happening here. God has given me a heart for this community—I love the “Electric City!” There is literally no where else on earth that I would rather be!!!

Not speaking for the past three weeks has been very good for me and our church. It has allowed me to really focus on our youth group and the talks I will be doing with them this week in Panama City. It has also allowed me to get away with our lead team and pray and vision cast for the future—we’ve got some AWESOME stuff headed our way! I honestly feel like I’ve worked harder over the past three weeks than any time this year—but I love it!!!

SO—it’s off to the shower and then off to church!!! I can’t wait!!!
