God bless you today.
My wife and I just returned from the HIM conference in Hawaii. This is a fantastic conference for Pastors, church leaders and believers. Over 5000 strong. Although it rained and rained our trip was fantastic. Before returning home we led worship at Island Family Christian Church. The last time I visited this church was 8 years ago. The church has grown substantially and is a bright light for Jesus on the island. I wrote the song Healing Grace at Island Family Christian the last time we visited. Their worship team is second to none and their HULA ministry UNBELIEVABLE. They inspired Saddleback's hula ministry (Over 150 strong) and our Ohana worship Venue. Glad to be home.
My son Brandon, has just taken a worship leader position for Saddleback's offsite campus in San Clemente. Wow. I am so blessed.
On the plane ride home from Hawaii I read a great book called the Fred Factor.
The book teaches 4 Principles (The Fred Principles) that can make the ordinary Extraordinary.
1. Everyone can make a difference
2. Success is built on relationships
3. Constantly create value for others
4. Reinvent yourself regularly
If you have not read this book... I highly recommend you do.
"I observed that the basic motive for success is the driving force of envy and jealousy!" Ecclesiates 4:4
Stay close to God.
Good stuff Rick. That's cool to hear about Brandon.
Hope we can talk sometime...I'm trying to get out at the end of June.
Peace
Chad
