It’s around 10:15 pm and I finally made it home.  My day started with a 7:00am meeting with Lee Saunders…a member of Compass Point and the the driver of the world record Viper run.  From there it was off to fight with Verizon Wireless…then AT&T Wireless…and then lunch with my good friend Bobby Triplett.  That dude is going to seriously set the world on fire for God in the Brandon/Tampa area next September.  I love hanging out with him…bouncing ideas off of him…and just soaking up his knowledge.  From there it was off to the other side of town for an interview with the Catalyst Road Trip guys.  LV and Micah asked some really great questions and it was a blast just grabbing some Starbucks and talking about the future of church.  I said some pretty irreverent things on camera (imagine that)…I hope some of it makes Catalyst this year. 

From there Kyle and I grabbed a bite to eat…talked about ALL of the changes happening at Compass Point right now…and just generally tried to come to grips with the stuff that God is allowing to happen.  God is moving very quickly…and very mightily…it’s pretty crazy.  While we were grabbing dinner we looked over across the restaurant and there was Jason Burns…the pastor the local church plant Access.  A great guy…we’ve talked via email and this blog…but never met in person.  They are moving into the other Lakeland YMCA this week…so we talked “shop” for a while.  We’re going to grab some coffee next week to finish up.

Went over to my folks house to see my aunts and uncle…then finally headed back home.  Pulled up my  office email to find a staff member had sent me a link to this.  I balled my eyes out…seriously.  If I was only half the leader and pastor that he thinks I am.  What a very humbling honor…and a reminder that God is so awesome to allow me to do this as a calling.  Thanks for reading Austin Porter…your post left me speechless and emotional.
