Thank you...

...that's really the only way I can think of to sum up how it feels to be fully back in the saddle this week. Back from summer vacation. Back from study break. Back to staff meeting today with an incredible team of people. Back to preaching as we kick off the series ALL ACCESS.

First, our family is so grateful to be part of a church that not only understands, but encourages us to take time to get away and recharge during the summer. So many pastors don't have that blessing, and we're truly grateful to be a part of a church that loves us like that.

I'm also grateful to Chris, Alex, & Kirk who did such a great job preaching. Their gift of teaching, work, and heart behind the messages were so good for us as a church. They tackled some ticklish topics throughout TXT MSG and really did a great job. We're better off and healthier as a church when we let God speak to us and lead us through multiple channels.

Real quick...I'll post more tomorrow about this, but for now, you DEFINITELY want to be in church and invite someone you care about to share in the experience this coming weekend for a number of reasons. But for now, I'll just give you one word: Malford.
