Wednesday has come and is nearly gone as I sit to write this. It’s been amazing to me, lately, just how fast time goes!

theBOX was great tonight – we were on week #2 of a 5-week series on Worship that we started last week.

I finished my handout for the seminar I will be leading on Saturday. That felt good to finally finish. Tomorrow I will pack up the car with my resources that I will be distributing and finish last-minute office work. Tomorrow night Jess and I have dinner with Steve and Rita Zerbe. They are moving from Warsaw up to Michigan this weekend.

Jess and I watched the last 45-minutes of LOST tonight. I wish so badly that I could’ve gotten hooked on this show from the beginning like the rest of America. Anyone want to buy me Season 1 on DVD?

With staff meeting, lunch with Pastor Kinnan and then a special afternoon meeting, today has simply flown by!

Tomorrow will be a busy day as well in the office. Lot’s to finish for the weekend events.

NCIS was excellent tonight. Didn’t get to watch much of The Amazing Race tonight, though – anyone have a synopsis? We did see that our favorite family got to the end first, though!

The forum was interesting. It was all about Church Multiplication. No, not your times-tables – we’re talking about a church forming another church – or not even a whole-church – even a house-church, or a cell-church, or “sponsoring” a church-plant, etc.

This is DEFINITELY something that interests me in the future. I was a bit exhausted as a student ministries pastor listening to a 2-hour seminar on “church multiplication” when I personally didn’t have a Senior Pastor to discuss it with afterwards. It wasn’t just not being able to discuss it afterwards, but this was, in my personal opinion, a Senior/Solo Pastor ONLY seminar. The others of us were left out a bit, though we did gain some interesting insight into future possibilities, of course.

It was good to see a bunch of district pastors and have some great conversations.

I also found out tonight that it is actually Pastor Chuck McCallum’s (our assistant District Superintendant) WIFE who is a faithful stevansheets.com reader! So hello to YOU, Mrs. McCallum!

Tomorrow I have a TON of work to do – somehow when you have two buddies in your office for most of the day, your list of “to-do” items seems to stay about the same length.

This weekend I’m speaking at THE ADVANCE – our district’s youth leader/sponsor training event that will be held at Westview Wesleyan. I have a lot to finish up on that before heading down there on Friday morning.

Jason Denniston has been here with me in the office since 9AM today. Jason is the youth pastor at Fairmount Wesleyan Church.

We enjoyed eating lunch at Applebee’s with Jim Taylor – the Indiana Wesleyan Representative for our area. We’ve had an incredible day.

Tonight: District Superintendant’s Forum here at Warsaw Wesleyan. Should be a good time fellowshipping with other pastors for sure.

Tonight Jess and I joined the Halt family (Rich & Jaymie) and the Garrett family (Mom & Dad) for an evening of dinner and a movie!

Dinner at Logan’s – very nice.

Movie at THE RAVE – “The Greatest Game Ever Played” (review eventually – gut reaction: kind of like watching golf on television – makes you “need” to get out and play for real)

A great time was had by all of course. We also enjoyed dessert at Krispy Kreme (did you know they no longer give a “free sample” when the donuts are hot?!?! I have sent my comment card to HQ already) as well as a stop at the Coldstone Creamery for the Halt family’s “needs”. Bless their hearts.

Seriously, it was great to get out of town and enjoy an evening out with my family!

I have in-laws! And they’re fun!

Take THAT, Hollywood.

Sleeping in tomorrow (it’s 20-til 2!) and then getting up to ready ourselves for an afternoon wedding at the church.

More pictures from tonight are here.
