Rowland and I are in San Jose for the Beautiful Day Conference. BD is about emptying the church and unleashing compassion. Click on the site to read more.

The conference should be good - Dan Kimball, Len Sweet are on the docket - but I’m actually more pumped about some time to rethink and re-imagine ministry. It’s amazing how much tunnel vision consumes me when all I’m doing is “ministry” in the strictest sense of the word. It’s great to plow and work hard and be consistent. But it’s also a great way to lose the forest for the trees. (Which always brings a laugh to me when I hear this phrase. Not sure why…strange bird I am.)

I’ll post up some notes as the day goes on.
