LifePointe: a LifeRaft

Judd Nelson, Speedos and Klingon Christmas wishes aside, I gotta tell you...LifePointe is becoming a big liferaft for me.

I always get in Jamey's stuff about taking up all my time with church junk...Sunday service, sunday baptisms, Starting Pointe, Lifegroups, other classes, Staff meetings and misc lunches. But the truth is, it's not the LifePointe junk that's the burden. It's all of the other crap in life.

There are very few people I know that walk up to me and say "My job makes me the happiest person in the world." And even less can say to me "You know, every single person I deal with on a daily basis brings complete joy to my life."

Then add the other stuff: bills, yardwork, traffic, rooting for crappy teams (i.e. Bengals, Reds, Notre Dame, etc), bad weather, medical problems, death, walking the dogs/cats/turtles/ferrets, etc., politics, the nightly news, and brussel sprouts.

All those things (and more) combined really, truly stink! It comes down to one thing, and one thing only...

Life is hard. God is easy.

If it wasn't for the hours and hours of stuff every week Jamey packs into my schedule (including the occassional book he makes me read), I'd probably be looking for a cliff to jump off of. Thank "You Know Who" for LifePointe.

How do people that don't spend all the time they can volunteering, serving, being in Lifegroups and fellowshipping with everyone else at LifePointe, survive? I truly don't mean for this to be a commercial for Louisville's coolest church...but it is. Live with it!

Now, pardon me while I practice pushing the spacebar for this week's service.
