Why I Love Life and Ministry with This Team - GCC's Senior Management Team:

  • When we're together, good food is usually involved (like it was this evening a week ago).
  • The variety of stories about kids and all the joys, mishaps and memorable moments are downright entertaining.
  • The talent and competence in this group is inspiring.
  • Half the fun of hearing Mark Beeson tell a story is watching the rest of the group lean in with double-you-over laughter.
  • They call out the best in me.
  • There are four other marriages that inspire ours.
  • Time together is celebrated. Period. Whether we're eating, praying, seeing sights, learning together - we're celebrating that we get to do so together.
  • My wife is valued by Mark and Sheila Beeson and the other friends on our team.
  • I'm always reminded of the value of community.
  • I'm profoundly aware that we can do more together than we can apart.

I know some of my friends posted this picture days ago. You may be seeing and reading more reflections of the past 4 or 5 weeks as I emerge into the blogging sphere.
