4:00 AM Messages

It is my goal that The Crossing will be a place where people can be transparent. I have to lead the way. So...I wake up every day at 4:00 AM because of a certain physical reality associated I assume with being 41. This is what I call my bladder alarm. I know some of you may think I need to be more dignified but sometimes my time as a youth pastor 20 years ago inadvertently intrudes on my present reality. I don't know when God speaks to you but often I get 4:00 AM messages. And today, 4:00 AM was a special time. I heard God in Hi-Def, and I cannot wait for Sunday...don't miss the service. The band will be rockin' and your kids will have the best day of their week.

Love the bathroom humor. I think most men can relate, for me its more like 3:30AM. Never thought of it as a time to listen to God. With my travels, at that time of morning I am just trying to remember were the bathroom is located in the hotel room. I guess as long as the "alarm" is still working, we are safe. The alternative gets a little messy. Love your commitment, example and positive attitude. Don't tell you that enough....

A friend of mine sent me this in response to my bathroom humor post:

When you reach 49....God speaks at 12:00, 1:30; 3:00; 4:30; 6:00 and then you feel like the devil about 8:00.
