Go the doctor, you’ll get better in a week. Stay home and treat yourself, you’ll get better in seven days.
Corollary: If you take the latter course, you won’t be out the $30 co-pay or the $20 prescription that will “only ease the symptoms.”

Great! Now it sounds like somebody’s shootin’ up the neighborhood with a shotgun…thanks, pal!
Oh, what’ll I be listening to through the headphones on the sofa?
Unwinding tonight with Passion’s God of This City. At this very moment, Ms. Nockels is blowing the doors of Hosanna! (Kind of appropriate for Palm Sunday, eh?)
Good stuff!
Go lay down, Charlie…and get better, you old coot!
Coughing. Runny nose. Maybe a touch of fever. Cold. Anybody had the flu? Is this how this particular strain starts?
I’m putting on the headphones and going to bed…uh, sofa!
The last couple of weeks have fluctuated between intense and scary and encouraging and powerful and inspiring and a whole lot more! In my message preparation, my thinking, my planning, my reading, my interaction with people, and especially my DDTs* ($1 to Tony McCollum), God has been rocking my world. And He was just getting me set up for Unleash! (Insert goofy Sonic commercial “punch” sound effect here!)

To paraphrase the late, great philosopher Jerry Clower, that MacBook Pro has “done flung a cravin’ on me!”
My little trip up to NewSpring’s Unleash Conference yesterday got me pretty jacked up! I’m off and running today, but I’ll post about it a bit later this afternoon.
Just let me go ahead and say, “Thanks!” to Gary and the Revolution crew for letting me tag along!
Man! I sure am glad we’re saying “see you later” to this bunch! (Wonder if there’s going to be anything in it for us? Hmmmm….)
My dos céntimos worth…maybe not criminal, and maybe technically not unethical, but let’s just call it unpleasant, and leave it at that, shall we?
I’ve been really digging the Hillsong CD God He Reigns lately. One reviewer said it’s a great blend of the “classic” Hillsong stuff and the newer, younger, hipper United material. Whatever. All I know is it’s been leading me into the presence of God in a big, powerful way.
A couple of notes from this weekend…
- Gideon this morning.
- A couple of first-time guests and a couple of returning ones!
- Pumped about this week. Going to NewSpring for Unleash. Going with Gary and the Revolution crew. Thanks, Gary! It’s been about three years since I’ve been to a conference. I really, really need it! (Other than a new Moleskine, what does one take to a conference these days?)
- But I’m kind of afraid of what God’s going to do to me on the trip and at the conference. See, He’s been rocking my world in a lot of ways over the last couple of weeks. He’s probably got something bigger in mind. He always does, doesn’t He?
- The lovely and gracious “Mrs. Just Charlie” is the best wife in the world, hands down!
- Real change is hard, because it means you’ve got to change personally before you can help your organization/team/whatever change.
- I challenged our bunch to pray and dream “one size bigger” today.
- Let’s keep daylight saving time all year around!
4:00 a.m. is going to get here pretty early. See you later…
