From my good friend Mark Wilson’s blog. If you are willing to satisfy people with good enough, you can make just about everybody happy. If you delight people and create change that lasts, you’re going to offend those that hate change in all its forms. Your choice. – Seth Godin (via Tony Morgan)

Prayer Warriors

Tonight, we returned to Mosaic after a two week break.  It seems that maybe the break did us good.  While only four students had called before we left, we checked on two and one came and then while we were picking up the rest, one more called.  When we got back to church several had [...]
