Greetings!  

  

I know it's technically spring, but the wind on my face as I was resized by the majesty of the Susquehanna river from my perch at the Pinnacle Overlook this morning convinced me otherwise! Brrr...38� felt like 20�!

The Pinnacle Overlook

Drip Irrigation

 

But still, I know the need for watering, fertilizing, and generally tending to the gardens (metaphorical as mine may be) are soon upon us.

 
It reminded me about how and why I tweet. That's right. I think of it as drip irrigation...a couple times a day, I add a digital drop of water so that the plants out there get a chance to drink, be healthy, and grow.

How are you doing that for your team? They need it!

I used to include a "thought for the week" on my weekly chord chart pack cover sheet. I know a guy named Brett that sends out a thought to his worship team via a PCO email each week.

How can you get access to my drip irrigation?

If you tweet, just follow me @adlib247.

  • God keeps us safe from the destructive power of sin, never land-locking us with rules that would take the wind out of full-sail living -JH
