I wrote this morning about Christmas being a big distraction in my life right now, because I don’t seem to be thinking about the things I should be focusing on.
So today I was scheduled to drive up to Manchester to meet with a group of guys I fellowship with, but since I was feeling distracted, and because my car was acting up, I decided to sulk in my office and attempt to focus.
While sulking, and a bit of praying/whining to God, I felt like I should go to the meeting where “I probably wouldn’t have a good time, and would probably just feel bad for myself.”
I went.
One the way there, despite not wanting to drive an hour and a half to the meeting place, I had a great time of prayer, listening to some sweet music, and talking to my friend Clay, who gave me a great story about making decisions out of fear rather than faith.
Then I arrived in Manch, and had some great conversations from the pastor of this church,and my new friends,  Josh and Ben, who are blowing the doors out of Next Level Church.
I left Manch inspired to get focused and to not allow distractions from sidetracking me away from what God wants me to do here in Central Mass.

Are you being distracted right now?

I wanted to do two things in my last post of the week (ala Friday afternoon).

First, I want to point out some new sites I’ve linked to on my blog (the sidebar on your right if you’re viewing my actual site.  There are blogs or sites I’ve added in the last week:

Tom Hogsed – a pastor in Canton, Ohio and an all-around great guy.  We went to PCC at the same time.  He always has some interesting biblical insights to share.

Leah Hogsed – I’ve known Leah for a long, long time now.  She is married to Tom and she blogs now, and I think that’s cool.

Josh Gagnon – the pastor of a new church in New Hampshire, and a great guy with a passion to reach New England.

Matthew Legere – ministers at a new church in Framingham, MA.  We’re going to get together soon.  I just need to make a call.

Having said all that, I bid you a great weekend and leave you with this:
