Life is a series of decisions. Some decisions are big, and some are small. Some decisions have a huge impact on our quality of life, and some don't. Some decisions can make us, and some decisions can break us. Some decisions are right, and some decisions are wrong. Decisions are an important part of life. Here are some things I do to try to make the right decisions on a daily basis.
1. Stay in God's Word on a daily basis.
2. Spend quality time praying and seeking God's face.
3. Keeping my heart uncluttered from bitterness and unforgiveness.
4. Go with my gut.
5. First impressions of others when choosing friends, staff members, etc. are huge.
6. I've learned that a red flag is a red flag. Don't overlook the flag.
7. If I have to make myself like a person, there isn't a divine connection.
8. Proceed slowly with big decisions.
9. Get godly counsel often.
10. Listen for the still small voice of the Holy Spirit.
11. Check references and double-check them if needed.
12. I have to have peace. If I don't have peace about a decision, it's usually not the right decision.
13. Be a God-pleaser. Make the decision that I believe pleases God even if it doesn't please people.

Weekend Highlights
1. Cale's football team won the championship and had their end of the season football party at CiCi's Pizza on Thursday night. All the boys were super excited. They did a great job in their first season.
2. On Friday, we did a lot of hanging out around the house. I changed some outdoor light bulbs by the garage, on the porch and in our landscaping.
3. The Cooper family broke out the Christmas trees this weekend. My wife is a great decorator. We have trees and lights all around our house. I love the Christmas season.
4. On Friday night, we made a trip to Braum's for ice cream, and I got an eggnog shake. Those things are awesome. You eggnog lovers need to try one.
5. I taught the PC folks what the Bible says about Dumping Debt.
6. Many people made a commitment to get out of debt and to honor God with their finances. I can't wait to hear the testimonies of what God does in people's financial lives. GREEN PEACE!
7. Many people committed their lives to Christ.
8. We launched a new 4 year-old class in our Kids Ministry on Sunday. The 3 and 4 year-old kids have been worshipping together, but the Kids Ministry is growing a bunch. Now the 3 year-olds have their own room, and the 4 year-olds have their own room. The volunteers loved this change, and I know the kids did as well.
9. Our junior high students moved into a new worship area on Sunday. We renovated our only multi-purpose room plus some of our office space and turned it into a new junior high room. I hated to lose the office space, but our Kids and Youth Ministry is more important than office space. Our kids and teenagers deserve the best!
10. Our Starting Point class for new believers and our Next class for those who are new to People's Church and want to learn more about PC and/or get plugged into PC have moved from the old multi-purpose room to the coffee shop. I'm glad our coffee shop is big!
11. It's amazing how quick we can fill up a 61,000 square foot building. Just a few months ago we only had 17,500 square feet.
12. Thanks, PC and the PC staff, for your flexibility and passion to reach more people.
13. Be a part of the first ever special Christmas choir. Go to choir practice this Tuesday night at 7PM.
14. Our Christmas series is going to be SUPER GOOD! It begins Thanksgiving weekend.
15. Where was my Oklahoma Sooners offense last week against Nebraska? Oh well, at least we beat A&M.
16. My Dallas Cowboys looked awful yesterday. Come on BOYS!
17. What in the world was Bill Belichick thinking on the 4th down call? You have to be kidding! I was going for the Colts, but I thought that was a horrible play call.
18. Have a super Monday everybody! Run to win!

Making My Family A Priority
Here are some things that I do to make my family a priority:
1. I go on a date night with my wife at least twice a month.
2. My wife and I go on overnight trips without the kids around once a quarter.
3. I take my family on a family date night once a week.
4. I take my off day and spend it with my family.
5. We eat dinner as a family around the dining room table around 4 to 5 nights a week.
6. I have 95 percent of my meetings during the day. Our board even moved our bi-monthly board meetings to the daytime so that we can all be at home with our families during the evening. All three board members are lay leaders. I am rarely away from home in the evenings.
7. I say no to a lot of speaking engagements so that I can be home with my kids while they are little. Plus, I like to sleep next to my wife every night! :)
8. When I do go on ministry trips, I try to take my family with me.
9. We canceled our two Saturday night services almost two years ago for several reasons. One of the reasons was because of the long-term impact it would have on our staffs' families over the long haul.
10. We limit the activities our kids can be in so that we can spend time together as a family.
11. When I get home from work, my wife and I limit our internet activity while the kids are awake. Our goal is not to use the internet at all when I get home from work until the kids go to bed. We are not totally there yet, but we will get there.
12. I release ministry to our staff and volunteers so that I can keep my family a priority. I don't personally do most weddings, funerals, hospital visits, home visits or counseling at our church. It gets done through our staff and volunteers so that I can focus on studying God's Word, prayer, leadership development, the vision and direction of our church and leading my family well. I firmly believe the greatest ministry that I provide to our church is me leading my family well. I don't have much of a ministry without my family being healthy and strong.

Family Is A Priority
Occupational ministry can be tough to balance with family life. There are sermon preparations, weddings, funerals, counseling, budgets, bills, building to build, building to maintain, people going through crises, board meetings, preaching, hiring, firing, leadership, ministries to launch, programs to stop, missions, outreach, the poor and the list goes on and on. Occupational ministry can be a 24 hour job if you let it. There is always something to do. There are always people going through problems or a crisis. There are always decisions that need to be made. It can be a challenge not to put the ministry ahead of your family.
When it comes to this issue, there are some pastors who are lazy and use family as an excuse not to work hard. This bugs me big time. I think pastors and church leaders should work super hard. We don't hire lazy people at People's Church. There are other pastors who are workaholics and neglect their families for the church. This also bugs me big time. I don't think someone is a spiritual giant because they are always at the church doing ministry and neglecting their family. I'm the first to admit that it can be tough to find the happy medium, but it can be achieved. There have been seasons that I've really struggled to find the balance, but I think I do fairly well with this overall. More importantly, my wife says I do a good job in this area, and that's what really counts.
Tomorrow I'm going to share some things that I do to make my family a priority.

1. Some of my family had an early Thanksgiving meal on Saturday because one of our family members will be gone for Thanksgiving. Man, did I eat. I sinned! I was a glutton. Lord, forgive me. I did do 25 minutes of cardio and only ate a pear for lunch before I ate that good food.

People's Church Calendar
I am a big planner. I believe the Lord can speak to us months out and not just at the spur of the moment. God tends to speak to me through prayer, planning and preparation. Here is a list of things that have been nailed down for 2010, or that will be nailed down by the end of the year.
1. Our 2010 sermon series are 90 percent nailed down. This really gives our Creative and Media Teams time to produce high quality work.
2. My time off from speaking has been nailed down.
3. Our advertising strategy. The times throughout the year that we want to do heavy marketing.
4. The speakers who will be speaking at PC when I'm not are 90 percent nailed down.
5. The events to help people grow spiritually and develop Kingdom friendships through our Community Groups.
6. We are working on nailing down our baptismal dates.
7. We are working on what events we want our kids and youth ministry involved in during the summer.
8. We have nailed down our Next class dates.
9. We are working on nailing down our Starting Point dates.
10. Our Volunteer Celebration Banquet has been nailed down. Volunteers, this will happen on January 29. It's going to be blast! Thank you for volunteering faithfully every week.
This list is not exhaustive, but gives you an idea of what we are working on at PC! I enjoy planning ahead!

CALENDAR PLANNING
It's not a lot of fun, but today we're doing calendar planning at church for 2010 as we try and get the important things on the calendar first. Important things like outreach events, all church events, Kingdom Builders, church picnic, additional services, Christmas Eve services, global trips, camps, conventions, leadership training etc. All of that has to be balanced with the school calendar, and other cultural events that dominate life in the United States! (See why I said it's not exactly a lot of fun!)
The hardest thing to do is keep the calendar from loading up and overwhelming the staff and the congregation and making the Kingdom of God the priority it needs to be. We have to keep reminding ourselves that our DNA is to have weekend services, small groups and global projects and not get distracted from that vision. It's a real challenge and there are a lot of things that won't make the cut, but its all part of the strategy for the future.
Thanks www.robketterling.com for this post. Rob pastors a great church in Minneapolis. Our team is currently planning our calendar, so this post struck a chord with me.

1. Wow, wow, wow, what a great Sunday at PC!
2. We baptized tons of people! I love seeing people go public for Jesus!
3. Many people gave their lives to Christ! We are seeing people come to Christ in record numbers. It's so exciting!

5. We were once again over 1000 people bigger than the same Sunday last year. Actually, we were 1034 people bigger. I am blown away and humbled by what God is doing at PC!
6. Lives are being changed every week at PC! That pumps me up!
7. I flew to Philadelphia on Thursday morning. Due to the rain, my flight was delayed out of OKC. I missed my connection in Cincinnati. I had to sit around the airport for a few hours because I missed my flight! Bummer!
8. I got to hang out with one of my pastor friends on Thursday evening. David Crosby is a great pastor on the east coast. He pastors www.poconocc.com. This is a great church with a great leader. I didn't get to sleep until after 12:30AM.
9. On Friday morning, I spoke at a college about church planting. It's always a great honor to invest in students.
10. I caught a late afternoon flight home on Friday. Once again, my flight left late. Long story, but the airline made me check my bag, and my bag didn't make it to OKC with me. I had to report my bag missing to the airline. I didn't get home until around 10PM.
11. Early Saturday afternoon, my bag was delivered to my home. I was very glad because I had my hair clippers and edgers in the bag.
12. Late Saturday afternoon, my wife and I went to dinner with some of our friends, and then we went to the Oklahoma Sooners game with them.
13. My wife and I got home late from the OU game.
14. The Sooners offense looked great, but the defense didn't look so good.
15. I'm tired from a long weekend, but I'm also very excited about what God is doing in my life, family and PC!
16. My Dallas Cowboys are looking good! Miles Austin is the real deal. I'm glad I added him in my dynasty FF league.
17. My fantasy football teams did average. I think I will go 4-2 this week, which isn't bad, but I was hoping for better.
18. Cale lost his first two teeth this weekend. He looks funny, but thinks he is cool. I love my kids so much!
19. Financially, if you do what you've always done, you'll get what you've always gotten. Break your patterns and habits, and do something different starting today.
20. I can't wait for this Sunday at PC! GREEN PEACE BABY!
