Today is my best day yet. I actually feel pretty normal, except for the constant aggravation of this catheter. I go in Monday to have that removed, Praise God! I took a pretty good walk outside today, and that irritated things a bit. I have to remember Paul Brewer’s admonition to not push things too soon, as its only been five days since the surgery.

I’ve started reading Andy Stanley’s book Creating Community: 5 keys to Building A Small Group Culture. He tells the story of when they planted their church, North Point Community Church, in a suburb of Atlanta, they met in a conference center at the intersection of two interstate highways. The conference center had a huge electronic sign visible to both highways, where they advertised whichever group was meeting there that day. There weren’t enough spaces to get the entire name of the church on one screen, so the technician had to abbreviate. Everyone was surprised when they arrived for church and read the words: ‘NO POINT CHURCH’ on the screen for all to see. Which raises the question: What is the point of the church? What is the point of our church, New Hope Christian Center? This is a question that begs an answer.

What do you think? What is the point?
