It's been quite a busy last couple weeks - let's see...
1. Had a chance to spend some GREAT QUALITY TIME with my smokin' hot wife - Ginger! In sunny Orlando! We spent a few days down in Florida at our Conference (Converge Worldwide) Large Church Pastor's Network! Spent a few days at the parks and felt a 'guilty' pleasure being there with no kiddos - gotta take them sometime for sure! BTW...the Rockin' Roller Coaster at Disney Studios - ROCKS!! Also had a rare privilege to go to Cirque De Soleil (sp?) - WOW!!!
2. Got back to AZ and continued to forge on with our PIRATES Series and HO-RA-OH (See The Invisible) Vision Initiative at COC! We've heard great things!
3. Commit Sunday (SEE THE INVISIBLE) was Sunday, February 22nd - $1.26 Million is our Three-Year Goal and we have had over $500,000 thus far committed to start the INITIATIVE! What a GREAT start!! Looking forward to seeing what GOD is going to do!
4. Still looking for LAND for the COC - some great opportunities, we'll see what happens in the coming weeks, months!
5. Also got a chance to do something really RARE in AZ last week with my guys (COC Staff)! We went to a place called "SUNRISE" and went Snow Skiing! Great time!
Family is doing really good!
Big CALEB JOSHUA'S Birthday is TODAY! He turns SEVEN!! WOW!! Where does the TIME go!
Charis still lights up everybody's face with her open-mouth smile and big brown eyes!
Isaac is REALLY ready for school to be over and our pool to warm up!
And yes - we have added another member to the Barrett Clan - just last week - BIG BAD "BOLT!" A Yorkie! "BOLT" has quickly become a Mama's boy and outside of the occasional 'squirts' here in there inside - let's just say I'm glad we have tile - he is doing good!
SUNDAY SNAPSHOT...
Started a new series last week - GENERAL SKILLS
Doesn’t every day deserve a chance – a shot, a tryout, an audition, a swing at the plate…an opportunity – to be a good day? Okay. But we all know that into every day shadow cans come too. There are days when traffic snarls, airports close, friends forget, and spouses complain. Days that affect your ‘General Skills’ on how to be a believer. Suppose, neck deep in your tough day, you resolve to give it a chance. You choose not to drink, work, or worry it away. Instead, you decide to give it a fair shake. You trust more. Stress less. Amplify gratitude. Mute complaints. And suddenly… ‘giving a day a chance’ works! You do the same the next day, and the next. Days become a week. Weeks become months. Months become years of good days!
