I finished reading "The e-myth revisited" by Michael Gerber. I heard about the book on a podcast that I was listening to and because I was on-line at the time, was able to check out the Seminole County Library and put a book on hold (what a great idea). The book is essentially a business book talking about how to take a business from infancy through adolescence to adulthood. As I was listening to it, I realized that there are a lot of connections with the church and even life itself. It is far too easy to get passionate about an idea only to have that idea soon control you. (How many small business owners do you know that own a job rather than a business?) Jesus has a much better model for life...and it is summed up in a word...freedom. So many reasons to give thanks, a beautiful wife, a great home (thanks to the dedication and decorating skills of the aforementioned wife), authentic relationships with friends and a mind that craves to understand the mysteries of God.
Many thanks to a member who after the service this past weekend went to Home Depot and replaced my stolen weed trimmer. I am often just humbled by the generosity of the people here. Did you hear that Holy Cross gave out over 300 Thanksgiving Baskets? Judging by how it all came together, it was truly a new version of a few loaves and fish. So what a great gift to give the community, over $12000 worth of food. I am so proud of what God is doing in the hearts and the lives of people. I can really see people maturing spiritually (infancy through adulthood). Which brings me back to the book...if you have found yourself in a rut where life seems to be controlling you, pick it up. It's worth a read.
Happy Thanksgiving!
