So, you wanna' plant a church do ya?

I'm just sayin'...

That's what's in your future if you answered 'yes' to the above.

A minivan packed TO THE GILLS with carpets and a sound system and a projector and candles and lego and duplo and music stands and tool boxes and kids books and homemade rice crispie squares.

It's glamorous this church-planting thing lemme' tell you.

My wife and I have been working non-stop for four days straight.  Last night I finished setting up, a dry run, and tearing down at 11:15pm.  Got home by midnight.  Started my day at 5:30am.

Today we've been going--literally--non-stop since 8:00am.  It's currently 10:30pm and we're still not finished.

My headache is so intense it's breaking through my third and fourth extra-strength tylenol of the day.

Our eyes are burning, our minds are racing, our hearts are pounding.

And we're looking forward to tomorrow morning and scared out of our minds all at the same time.

We don't know if anyone will come.

Tomorrow we start.  10:30am.  THE WELL officially comes into existence.  

We're hangin' on by a very thin thread over here.

I've got to say, this same feeling of exhaustion is what you feel when you're directing your first feature-film or doing the third re-write on your script or doing your tenth interview of the day or _____________ .  (fill in the blank from your life)

It's true what they say.

Nothing worth doing is ever easy.

So if you're facing something impossible, know that you're not alone.  You got at least one other couple on the face of the earth reaping the whirlwind tonight.

Holy smokes.  Here we go.

Looking forward to letting you know how it goes.
