A great day
I am out in sunny southern CA at Saddleback Church for some meetings with some great youth ministers from all over the country. Today we discussed our main purpose for being here PDYM and had the opportunity to be inspired by Greg Stier of Dare 2 Share. He presented an amazing structure for reaching students through evangelism. I am really looking forward to bring it home and getting started with some eTeams.
To top it all off we headed to Downtown Disney. We had a great dinner at the ESPN sports zone and you can't leave ESPN without hitting the video games upstairs.
What a great day. It is such a blessing to be able to be around like-minded youth workers and share life, share your heart, and share some fun experiences (drunk guys on a shuttle).

Weakness
Last Friday evening the football team I coach with played the defending state champions at our homecoming game. Our humiliating loss has really pointed out our weaknesses as a team. It was probably one of the most difficult losses that I have experienced. I hate losing! In the weakness of losing there can be a lot learned.
Lately I feel that I have been in an uphill both ways, losing battle. My weaknesses seem to be exaggerated and pointed out more often. This is never fun. Weaknesses are humiliating. Rather that fight the weakness maybe the best thing that I can do is to embrace it.
2 Corinthians 12:9, But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me.
More than anything I want to experience Christ's power in my life. If His power comes through my acknowledgement of my weaknesses, then so be it.
