Nikki and I were at the Del Coronado for a meeting and we enjoyed ourselves.  It is an old hotel from 1888 and the largest wooden hotel in the U.S.  Two nights the fire alarm went off - kind of scary - but we survived! False alarms both times. 

One morning as I ran on the beach I ran with a group of navy recruits - I praised them the whole time and talked to them like I was their training sergeant!  I later saw a group of navy seal recruits doing training off the coast.  I could see warships and one day a submarine out in the ocean from the beach - obviously it was not submerged!  At the encouragement of Ed Allen I’m reading Lone Survivor - it’s about a Navy Seal and a mission where he was the only one to survive - he is a Texan. 

When I see and read stuff like that I get inspired.  Maybe I should have been a soldier.  When I look at the Great Commission I feel the same sense of passion, enthusiasm, and abandonment for people to know who Jesus is and to see that transforming power. 

I believe it’s entirely possible that the Great Commission could be fulfilled in the next 20 years - how?

1.  Using all human tools at our disposal - airplanes, internet, domains of society, and resources people have.

2.  Using all spiritual power at our disposal - the Holy Spirit, prayer, making disciples with this in their DNA (are they a disciple if this is not in their DNA?), each person using their gifts and calling.

3.  Merging #1 and #2 - if we do that - it’s a done deal!
