I was just surfing around this afternoon and ran across this http://www.gallery.casd-tn.sk/ - - Old timer flag camp staff might recognize a few faces.  Kind of cool to jog the memory!

Today I was trying to dig myself out if the backlog of podcasts I have to produce for Pastor Shane. The last one i uploaded was about small groups. Over the last several weeks I have been struck by how we have been doing it wrong for so long.

We have a small group that has been meeting for several weeks now. I am amazed at how i can see God working through each of the different members of that group. Even more amazing is how much more efficiently we can care for each other and each others needs. I am also see how quickly we can move to get things done. Its not a big production, it dosent take a committee meeting to form a recomendation to pass to another committee who can then bring it to a vote. We see something that needs to be done, we can make a plan, then we can do it. A small team of carefully trained members can be far more efficient than an unwieldy buarcracy. Look at the SEALs and other eleit military groups, Small highly trained groups.
