Well, it’s Easter week so I tend to look a little like this guy most of the time.
We’re planning a Good Friday Night of Worship, 3 Easter services and I’m running production for a funeral on Saturday.
It’s also my wife’s birthday tomorrow and my mother-in-law is flying into town so, needless to say, things are a little hectic.
In the midst of it all, however, I’m feeling pretty calm and excited about what we’ve got planned. I think part of that is I’m taking time to connect with the Lord in the mornings and because I’m learning to let things go a little bit.
I’m a creative guy and I like mapping out what everything will look like, feel like and be like, but I also work within a team and part of the team dynamic is that people don’t always do exactly what you say; go figure.
This used to stress me out and cause me to be frustrated with people, but now I’m at a place where I can be excited that people are owning things like never before. I’ve got a new lighting guy, a production manager that rules, a music director who is thinking creatively and at the same time about crazy details and a boss who says, “let’s blow people away!” I’ve got a production team full of volunteers who are, all be it reluctantly, ready to be here at 6 am on Sunday morning and a Guest Services director who has put together a team that is excited, welcoming and wonderful.
I also have really good friends coming to play on Good Friday and a video guy who has shot and edited all of our baptism videos.
And lastly, I have a wife who is filled with grace and willing to wait until Monday to celebrate her birthday.
This, my friends, is what a team looks like and I am so excited to be a part of this one!
So bring it on Easter! It’s going to be awesome!
