Really excited about this weekend. Tomorrow me and Leslie, Samuel, Caitlin and John are bugging out for a bit of vacation time. The last time we had any actual vacation time with the family was more than two years ago. Before the dreams of Crossroads solidified into anything resembling vision. Long before our first informational meeting in December of '07. Long before any of what is now our 24/7 reality ever even existed.
Our life as individuals and as a family revolves around Crossroads. That's just the way it is for a church planting family. No complaints, it's just our reality. But another reality has taken hold, and that is the reality that nothing can possibly ever take the place (though circumstances and events in our lives sometimes muscle in and take precedence over) our relationships with our spouse and our children. We all just need a little family time.
Here's the great thing about being a part of the Crossroads family. We can leave knowing that every aspect of what happens at Crossroads on Sunday morning (and throughout the week) will absolutely ROCK whether we are there or not. That's because Crossroads is now (as it has always been) not about US. It's about ALL of us!
Here's to LOVING LIFE at Crossroads, and going away when you got to get away! Here's to taking time to knock the sharp edges off our lives from time to time. Here's to vacations! Guys, be sure to show up and invite BIG this weekend as Pastor Ben Rice brings Part 3 of SIZZLE - Cooling Down Conflict. We'll see you all next Sunday for "SEX THAT SIZZLES"!
Have a GREAT weekend!
