All Day Meeting

I sat in a meeting from 10 a.m.- 3 p.m. today for a Church Planting initiative that I'm part of. I really like sitting with those men, although there were some things I didn't like. I think I'll vent here:

• The chairs were way too comfortable. The chairs that we used were in the board room at our district office. Those chairs are so comfortable people wouldn't get up to shake hands with new people as they entered because it was so difficult to get out of them. They were so comfortable, that I was uncomfortable. I opted to spend most of the day sitting on the edge of the seat leaning forward so I didn't fall asleep.
• It was a meeting. I used to love meetings, but more and more I would rather be doing something meaningful. I find that meetings like that (no matter who runs them) tend to get run down with discussions that don't really further the point being discussed.

No those gripes out of the way, I will say that the men in that meeting today are exceptional pastors, and I have a lot to learn from them. I was glad for the stories and wisdom I heard imparted today.

In short: good day, long meeting.
