Listening to Amos Lee on a Saturday
Posted by Ryan Woods
It's Saturday. I'm not going to a wedding. I'm not attending a funeral. I'm not going camping. I'm not on a retreat. For the first time in nearly five years without a single plan I am not working on a Saturday night. It is freeing. It is liverating (yes, I meant to say liberating but liverating came out instead. Considering liberating and freeing are the same thing I thought I'd leave the liver). It's just all around quite nice. I might walk down to Mon Ami and get a coffee with my wife and child. Who knows, maybe we'll run across the street to Walgreen's and buy a Butterfinger or something.
The reason I'm not at work is that I've begun the next phase in the transition from spending a majority of my time as a server, to spending a majority of my time as a connections minister (yeah thats the name I went with. It works). All this is in preparation for spending all of my time as a lead church planter. I don't' see myself being done at the restaurant for good for quite a while. The relationships there are too important to me, as much ministry happens there as it does on Sunday mornings. But it is nice to have one more evening...and that's all I have to say about that.
