So I've started reading Simple Church because it was recommended to me awhile ago. I gotta tell ya, I'm only 50 pgs in and I'm already frustrated. I can see my church in the example they're using of the church that's too complicated...and the sad thing is that we already know we're too complicated but noone seems willing to actually DO anything about it. How do you move people from talking about it/studying it to DOING it? I love reading and studying, I am an input person (strength finder reference) but I also like to act on what I learn and I feel like this one is even too big for my Joel Council. *sigh* Sorry, just needed to vent. I'm sure you all have felt or are feeling the same way.

On a more positive note, things are going well. I still feel like my head is going to explode with all the stuff I have to do this summer but I also feel like this will be a good chance to knock myself out of my procrastinating cycle. Trial by fire so to speak.

I hope you all are finding yourselves blessed. I hope nobody had any major trouble due to flooding. Blessings!

Thanks for sharing with us your frustration. Just remember that God is using you in ways that you may not ever know. You are such a real person and I bet that is exactly what your church needs right now. Keep being yourself and have a good week!
