Simple Church, Simple Life

Today I went to a local pastor's meeting where the topic was Simple Church. There is a book by the same name which has become a driving force for renewal in certain churches in the Susquehanna Valley.

It was very affirming to be a part of the discussion in light of the dreams and desires the church street launch team that I am a part of has. Don't over program, do a few things, keep the focus the focus, be able to state your vision and do what you do with excellence and don't compete against yourself.

And then one of the speaker's shared about the similarities between running a church and running a business in the sense of if you have one or two products and produce them with excellence you will experience growth and success.

And it can carry over to life, also. At the moment, my life is anything but simple. Yet I experience a peace in knowing my focus and what I need to spend my energy on. My goal is to continue to whittle out the extraneous noise and chaos from my life. And I surround myself with others who share those goals.

Peace.
