Catalyst

Andrew and I went to the Catalyst Conference this past Thursday and Friday in Atlanta.  Catalyst is a conference for church leaders but open to all.  It was AWESOME!!  They did a great job putting it on and lining up the speakers.  The praise and worship was great too.  We got to hear Andy Stanley, Dave Ramsey, Charles Swindoll, Louie Giglio, and Rob Bell (Nooma) among many others.  They all are such gifted speakers.  It was such a challenging weekend.  Rob Bell really knocked it out of the park.  He challenged us to make sure we always remember that after God our families are the most important part of our ministry.  Whether you are a minister or not.  He also challenged everyone to make sure they remember to observe some type of Sabbath rest during the week.  Taking time to put aside all the things that need to be done and spending time just being... being in prayer, being with family, being quite, being thankful.

"Our children pick up on what really matters to us even if we don't say a word."- Rob Bell
