Last night, one of my role models and favorite women all around gave an amazing and inspiring keynote speech about the “who’s” and “what’s” in life. I will be blogging later about all the festivities, but I wanted to share some quick photos of her during her speech.

So, there has to be a rational explanation for this right? I wish I could say there was

Sunday, I had the pleasure of meeting Barby and her family at Markham park for a quick session of family photos before their oldest daughter went back to college.
I decided to post a quick preview (10 of 80) of their photos so they could see them online as well as share them with our friends we do life with at FRC : ).
Enjoy!
How cute are they???
What a beautiful family, huh?
The kids : )
Getting silly… I have a feeling this is a regular occurrence for everyone : )
Barby even got a bunch of new headshots taken : )
and my favorite (the most unscripted moment of the afternoon- he didn’t even know I took this picture : ))-
There is no more ‘old normal’.
‘Storms’ allow for greatness to emerge. Rough weather draws out strength that calm seas never will.
You have to ask yourself, “Is the local church still the hope of the world?” Remember the beauty, power and potential of the church.
We must live out the 1st century dream [the early Christians] in the 21st century.
Leaders must make choices that make sure the church is still being the church. You can bring people closer to Christ when you focus on the church being the church.
Advocate for the powerless and hold the powerful accountable.
No one is coming to church looking for a mild dose of God these days.
Most pastors would rather work with souls than spreadsheets.
Healthy cash reserves give church leaders time in a crisis.
People will still give generously when they believe in a vision, even in a crisis.
We want to see God’s work done in OUR DAY.
God’s great work is done through people who are completely yielded to him.
Have an adequate replenishment strategy for the things you are pouring out in ministry. In crisis situations, the best thing you can bring to the table is a “filled up bucket”.
What do your followers and colleagues see when they look at you?
