I have been in South Florida for almost 6 months now and I finally made it to my first sporting event. Last night I was invited to go to the Marlins game. I must say that there were actually more Cubs fans than Marlins fans but the Cubs fans went home disappointed. I was cheering for the home team even though I have no true loyalty to either team and baseball for me is only remotely entertaining if it is live. If anybody were to ask I would have to say that I am a Cleveland Indians fan which I would like to note clinched the central division championship earlier in the week and are tied for the best record in the American League. Go Tribe!

What was far better than the game was the company. I had a night of stimulating conversation with the newest member of our Launch team. I was encouraged how God turned a remotely cold call into commitment to help us get InDependence off the ground. Neither party was looking for long term commitments but it was just a young man saying that he had bought into our vision and wanted to be a part through our launch and then we will reevaluate where we are at.

The pieces are slowly falling into place and at 3:30 am today I believe that God delivered the theme for our preview services. I am sure there will be more on that in the future but I am letting it simmer today and getting some feedback from some other pastors and voices of reason. I am excited about it but I get excited about bad ideas almost as fast as I do good ones so I am just seeing where the basic idea can evolve to.
