What Goes Through a Church Planters Head Five Days Before Your Second Service

The sequel…I have a lot on my mind right now. This weekend we are having our second service ever!

Here’s what I’m thinking:

• Please shoot me in the face. We just got our Dec. 6th mailer. Its the BEST looking mailer I’ve EVER seen…except for that it says Nov. 8th.
• How many times can I choke back the puke in my mouth after seeing the mailer with the wrong date?
• Did I fail as a Dad this week? Was I a loving, attentive husband?
• How can I get everything done this week? What things on the list do I have to decide to kill?
• How can I build our team more effectively so I am not always in scramble mode?
• Did we connect with all of the people we could over the last month?
• Have we really prayed our guts out?
• I wonder if pepto will take away that sick feeling I’ve had in my stomach for a week…
• Do we have enough chairs?
• It would be sweet if we DID NOT have enough chairs…
• Church planting is harder than I thought it would be. I knew it was hard…but sheesh!
• Church planting is more fun that I thought it would be.
