Cause to Pause

1. Derek Berg has left the building. Or more accurately the state. He, his wife and the team from Woodland have left for Ariz. and New Mexico on a mission trip. You can follow their trip from this official blog on the church website.Or DM @djberg and he may let you follow him via Google Latitude.
2. Jason Lee and his dogged determination. Jason is not letting up on the idea of having his whole ACS member database in his MS Exchange Active Directory. Here’s a post on it. Here’s another one. This Monday Jason is setting up a conference call to discuss the possibility as well as what it would take to make it happen. Details can be found on his blog here.
3. My other buddy Jason (this time Reynolds) for getting me into a group ride last Saturday. Turnabout is fair play, my friend…
4. Lastly Jason Powell, or more accurately, his son Jacob who took a header out of a bunk bed at camp. Broke his wrist, got stitches and went right back to camp. Trooper!

PS. Anyone else feel like Larry from the old Bob Newhart show? “This is my brother, Darryl. And my other brother, Darryl.”

Woodland Community Church in Bradenton, Fl is sending a team to minister to a Navajo Reservation in Arizona and New Mexico. Derek Berg will be a part of that team as will his wife. As many details as they currently have can be located on Derek’s blog here.
Their trip leaves in less than a month.
If you have ever been blessed, encouraged or made to laugh by Derek, join me in supporting them in any way you can. Financially would be great, but in prayer (really, do it this time) would be more than appreciated as well. Whip out that fancy phone, put task reminders in there for

• every Wednesday beginning June 24, ending July 8
• once per day, beginning July 9, ending July 18.

Think about it-the guy is willfully leaving the gulf coast of Florida and going to Arizona and New Mexico in the middle of the summer! If that doesn’t demonstrate “following God’s leading” I don’t know what does. As Kerry Mackey said at the 2009 FLCITRT, we are ministers.
