The breakfast gathering was early, but that was okay. I’m an early riser. Normally I eat a light breakfast of fruit and cereal after a workout, but the plan needed to be reordered.

I parked the car on Douglas in front of INTRUST. It was 6:25 and the gathering started in 20 minutes. Century II Exhibition Hall was filling. I quickly went through the buffet line and headed to table 41, where I met the folks I had invited.

Conversation was great and the emcee began. A welcome, a prayer, two Scripture readings, a testimony, two musical offerings and a speaker filled the program. It was awesome.

Love.  Jesus.  Pray. Those three words were the theme of the program. Love unconditionally; people and Wichita. Be a servant leader like Jesus. Pray for people to know the love of Jesus and pray for wisdom from God for life as a servant leader in Wichita.

Love. Jesus. Pray.  Not much at first glance. However, those three words sure matter. In fact, followers of Jesus should pause. I’m missing the mark. How are you doing?
