Monday Morning recap, January 9
Wow...I still can’t can’t get over all this sunshine and warmer temps! I saw several people on the golf course yesterday. Enjoy it while we can!
Hope your week is off to a productive start. I really enjoyed the fantastic teaching we received yesterday from Andy Stanley. I watched that talk 3 times and each time I learned something new. Praying that all of us will make wise relational choices as we continue to pursue Christ Centeredness.
If you haven’t registered yet for Fusion 2.1-A One Day Marriage Conference with Dr. Dave Currie I strongly encourage you to come. If you are in a small group encourage your entire group to attend together. Know some friends who could use insight, encouragement in their marriage? Invite them. Help us get the word out about this much needed event and please join me in praying for this influential experience. You can register online here: http://www.oakbrookchurch.com/marriageconference
As we all head into the new year with a desire to grow and improve and ran across this in a blog I follow. Hope it inspires you like it did me...enjoy.
21 RANDOM WAYS TO MAKE 2012 A BETTER YEAR
Here are some random changes you can make to help make 2012 a better year:
1. Believe the best about people. Make trust your default, not suspicion.
2. Be on time. Great leaders are rarely late.
3. Under promise and over deliver. Our tendency is to do the opposite. 4. Stop blaming people. Just stop. Your will start taking responsibility for yourself as a result.
5. Pray for your enemies. You will forgive them…and they will not be your enemies for long.
6. Review the week ahead on Sunday night for ten minutes. Monday won’t seem nearly as intimidating
7. Get up earlier. The early bird actually usually does get the worm.
8. Go to bed earlier. Stop falling asleep on the couch.
9. Read the bible. Read at least 3 verses of scripture every morning, more if you’re up to it.
10. Never say “I don’t have the time.” Instead, say “I’m not going to make the time.” It will change how you see time…and priorities.
11. Smile. Most people look moderately unhappy most of the time.
12. Clean your personal space. A clean desk, car or office makes you feel better about yourself.
13. Give 10%. Give away the first tenth of everything you make. You’ll be surprised at how liberating this is.
14. Pay cash (as in bills in your wallet) for discretionary items. You will spend less and save more.
15. Exercise. Enough said. Just get moving.
16. Do something for yourself everyday. People who care for themselves are better at caring for others.
17. Read outside your area of interest. Apps like Zite and Flipboard even make this so easy.
18. Automate what’s important. Schedule appointments with yourself for what matters. Automatically take savings and givings out of your bank accounts.
19. Serve somewhere. People who serve others live longer and are happier.
20. Show up prepared. Whether it’s a meeting or simply coming home, prepare yourself before you show up.
Play. Most of us have forgotten how to play. Rediscover it.
Have a great week everyone! Don’t just talk about it, be about it!
Love Doing Church with You Guys!
