The What Up at OKC:

• We’re entering week 2 of new series called LOST.  Story about a little boy that loses his dog.  The fun part was hanging LOST posters around the kids space.  The posters look so legit, parents and kids really thought we were searching for a lost dog.  Even cooler… we set up a 1-800 number for the kids to call.  When they call in, the kids listen to a special message.  We’re tracking the number of calls.  Big hit, so far!
• We had a MicroMission at the church last night.  As we gear up for Easter, we’ve got some creative invite tools for everyone to use when inviting people to church.  The tools came with some assembly required.  That’s where our kids come in.  We invited them to the church with their parents to help assemble the invites.  We intentionally make it a part of this big invite push and we make sure the kids know they are part of the impact.
• Vision infusion is my primary focus, right now.  As a ministry leader, what methods do you use to re-infuse your volunteers with the Big Picture?

At the crashpad:

• Slow blogging week.  I spent the better part of the past two days at the hospital with one of my families.  Their 2-year-old so sick and doctors running test after test trying to figure out the problem.  It has a way of bringing your to your knees in ways you never imagine.  Jonathon is doing better today and will leave the hospital next week.  Praise God!
• On that note… I have a new appreciation for my 2-year-old and his antics.
• Our LifeGroup is reading through John.  We had a few epiphanies with Chapter 1.  My hubby blogs about it here.

Blogs to check out:

• Rindy Walton is a woman I learn a lot from.  She’s got amazing experience as a mom and God is taking her through a refining season right now.  Her response inspires me.  Read what she has to say about life.
• My friend Robyn just started blogging.  Robyn leads LifeKIDS at the Tulsa LC Campus.  She’s got a goose-bump story.  Give her a shout-out and welcome her to the blogging universe.

Have a fun weekend.  Ban the cartoons and get outside!

See you Monday.
