Linda and I celebrated our 11^th wedding anniversary this past weekend. Wow, time flies when you are having fun. We spent a quiet weekend in Asheville, NC. Just 11 years ago I was working as a computer network engineer in the San Francisco bay area and doing ministry in the evenings and weekends. My favorite food was Lasagna, I drank espresso like a fish, and had an 80?s disco hair cut. A lot has changed in such a short time. As I reflect back to my?goals 11 years ago, I wanted to start a church that would reach people who would not normally go to church. I was so excited to move forward on things but my pastor made me take a year off of ministry to build my new marriage first. Since I am a high-strung entrepreneur, I was so bored that I grew my computer business which we later sold used the revenue to start that?rocking church which?was able to reach the outcasts like I had in mind. As I look back, I now realize that my goals were all relatively small and most of what has happened to me has been more surprising than planned?? though it has been a tough row to hoe. There were things that I could have done to make it?easier and speed my growth process up. As I?now look to the next 11 years ahead I am going to be?much more intentional and design my life as opposed to reacting to it. What would I do it I only had 11 years to do it? Hmmm…
