My hope is that this will provide you with the information of a State of the Union address with the personal inspiration of a fireside chat. We want to celebrate the past year, but the majority of our time will be spent focusing on where we are heading and how we intend to get there. Bob Russell used to say, “The main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing.” We live in a culture that is filled with temporary things which cry out for our attention, and we are easily distracted. So as a church we must stay the course and keep our focus.
