Be Present...

Where are you?  What are you doing? Are
you listening? Paying attention? Stay fo-
cused.  Stop looking at your phone.  Turn
it off.  Put it away. Be here. Now. In the
present.  Be with who you're with.  Talk
with them.  Live with them. Take some
time. Think. Do you understand who you
are? What you were called to do? Pause.
Take it in.  What is your community?
Who is your community?  What does local
mean to you?  Do you have a presence?
If your church left the comunity what
would happen?  Would you have left a
mark?  Lead in the place you're called to.
Don't worry about the past.  The future
will come later. It's all about now.  Here. 
Go all in.  Be rooted. When you're home,
be home.  Focus.  Look at the big picture.
Look at the small pictures.  We need your
undivided attention. October 5-17, 2011.
Atlanta.  Be present. CATALYST.
