What a Year
Every year I read my blog as a reflection exercise. So I just printed my 2006 blog. Almost ran out of ink :) 400 pages in 10 font. Approximately 200,000 words.
No combination of the 26 letters of the English alphabet is a sufficient thank you for all that God has done in 06. What a year! Re-reading my blog is like swimming in a sea of gratitude. And I'm not just grateful for the big things like Ebenezers, the Buzz Conference, a trip to the Galapagos, and In a Pit with a Lion on a Snowy Day. I'm so grateful for simple pleasures and small blessings.
I have a growing appreciation for the sovereignty of God. Nothing is too big. Nothing is too small. In a nutshell: my sense of destiny grows stronger!
Can't wait to chase some lions in 07!

i have the same reaction looking back over my blog for the year - amazed at the big things i got to be a part of, but also intensely grateful for the less-obviously-huge things like the cuteness of my kids and the moments with my friends and family.
thanks, Lord.
and thank you, mark, for the encouragement you have been to me along the way - you and your whole team - a fantastic bunch of people you've got up there.
happy new year!
Thanks Mark for your blog, and also your book In a Pit with a Lion on a Snowy Day. What a great read! It's inspired me to chase my own lions, including launching my own Christian blog Finite Calls Infinite. I love the fact that you desire the church to produce more creative, passionate people. I believe that's what God wants more than anything!
Blessings on you and NCC in 2007!
