It's amazing how something hits us, isn't it? It's like God says, "Right here. Right now. Perfect timing. Go." I love that. Blessings to you. GM.

I wanna see what you created! GM.

Love that concept. Thanks for posting and for the encouraging words. GM.

I love the idea of coming up with new words for what we're really talking about. I suppose that there will always be a chasm, but I also think it's worth taking our best stab at lessening its distance. Blessings to you! GM.

I agree. Just one. Thanks for posting! GM.

I hate that dragon, but he always motivates me to do something better. I'm SO GLAD to hear that you can see some light, and that you believe. Awesome! GM.

And the no-music-in-the-car-thing? That's a sure deal for me too. Thanks for posting. Blessings on you and your ministry! GM.

Love the waterproof IPhone idea! Blessings to you, Rob. GM.

So good to know you. Thanks for visiting my blog. GM.

Thanks for posting! GM. Fri, 13 Jan 2012 02:01:49 +0000 http://www.garymo.com/2012/01/12/take-long-showers/#IDComment262764572 http://www.garymo.com/2012/01/12/take-long-showers/#IDComment262764260 Yep - School is another topic entirely. I should also be clear about the Starbucks thing - Because I choose to do that, I end up going back to work at night at least 2 nights a week. I'm forced to regularly work through lunches, and also work many Saturday mornings. It's something that costs me dearly, but it's so very worth it in the end. Good luck in school! Praying that you cheat somewhere. GM.

And they're great in the winter!

My prayer is always that I get to do both - that my creativity leads to something beautiful being produced. That being said, I understand the sadness associated with the reality of your comment. Praying for you, bro. GM. Fri, 13 Jan 2012 01:57:42 +0000 http://www.garymo.com/2012/01/12/take-long-showers/#IDComment262761795 http://www.garymo.com/2012/01/12/take-long-showers/#IDComment262760708 Jack - It's a great concept, but so difficult to enact. Floodgate is in its busiest season ever (in 6 years) right now, and I've let that hour go a few times. Hate when I do that. Thanks for posting! Blessings. GM. Fri, 13 Jan 2012 01:55:59 +0000 http://www.garymo.com/2012/01/12/take-long-showers/#IDComment262760708 http://www.garymo.com/2012/01/12/take-long-showers/#IDComment262465330 Yes - I love getting specific about what we need to cheat. Well done. GM.

Hope you have a great weekend, just down the road from me!

Hang in there! Monday will be amazing!

It's true, too! Merry Christmas bro. GM.

And I agree with you - there seems to be winds of change in the air with regard to pastors who are willing to admit honest brokenness. Thanks for posting. GM.

Some of the bad administrators in my life have also had authority over me in church settings. With these few, every great creative idea gets squashed in the wake of insufficient finances (in my experience). I really struggle with appreciating them, and that's why I wrote this post. Thanks for your openness and candor. You are so valuable in my life, and in Christ's kingdom. GM.
