Surprise

Last week someone said something that I wasn't expecting. It was not a pleasant surprise.

Last night I saw someone I hadn't expected to see. It was a pleasant surprise.

This week someone said something that I never expected to hear. It was a pleasant surprise.

I think surprises are the spice of life.

tweets from Stetzer

I enjoy following Ed Stetzer on twitter. He has a nice blend of principles, reflections, and regular life. Here are a couple of recent tweets that caught my eye:

• Holiness is not separation from sinners. It is separation from sin.
• We love how we do church more than we love reaching people around our church.
• In church life, the people that are rocking the boat are hardly ever the ones rowing it.
• Leaders must multiply leadership rather than centralize leadership.
• When I think of a good place for a pastors conference, Las Vegas always tops the list! Yeah, baby! Next stop, Vegas! :-)
• Heading to Denver tmrw, and escaping Nashville, to see what a GOOD NFL team looks like. Can't find one here. ;-)
• If we dmnd thngs in worship tht can't be in evry culture, we're dmndng cultural preferences, not biblical
• "Relevance is not a goal, it is a tool."
