Sunday night was our staff Christmas party.  I always look forward to this night.  Even though most of the staff hangs out together, we don’t ALL get together that often.  So Sunday night we headed out to the Cheesecake Factory in Aventura for a great time.  I work with an incredible group of people who love God and are passionate about the mission of the church.  It was great to be there with all the staff spouses as well.   This is such a simple thing, but it shows them how much they are appreciated for all the hard work they do.  Because truth be told, very few understand the hard work that church world is.  And most don’t see the countless hours these dedicated people put in to make our church happen.  I’m very thankful today for the people God has placed in my life to co-labor with!
