After a busy week of travel and speaking events - it was nice to get away to beautiful Rancho Mirage for a couple of days of R&R with Nancy. The desert is awesome in winter - not so much in summer.

It was an honor to speak to Wesleyan pastors and wives yesterday about KEEPING FIRST THINGS FIRST and How To Grow a Ministry and Still Have A Life, A Strong Marriage & Great Family. It can be done. It should be done.

Blessed to celebrate Mom’s 95th birthday - (Dad’s 99 next month) - Just a few of their 18 great grandkids in this photo!

Awesome time the last three days hanging out with and mentoring this incredible group of pastors from around the nation. God’s doing some great things in each of their churches.

Changing world. Watched my granddaughter’s flag football game tonight. She had an interception and some throws as QB: Go Girl!

Privileged to spend the last 3 days with Kadi Cole mentoring this great group of high level female ministry leaders from across the country.

Looking forward to preaching again this weekend at North Coast Church. Hope to see you there or at one of our campuses, or online.

Honored to spend the last two days teaching and mentoring pastors and wives in the AG Northwest Large Church Network. A great group of ministry leaders doing great things, with an even greater future.

Spent a few days out in Rancho Mirage regathering the original N Coast 3 Musketeers - Paul & Jill Savona, Mike & Lin Yearley - Gives a new definition to “old” friends.

Nancy & I were blessed once again this year with the best Christmas gift ever (next to Jesus): Family that actually gets along loves hanging out together.

Sunday after church Nancy and I took a walk on the beach. We have often marveled at the grace (Completely UNMERITED favor) that has allowed us to minister in beautiful San Diego - Don’t deserve it but thankful for it.

We enjoyed watching two of our grandkids (Jonah & Kellen) play basketball Saturday. At least that’s what they claimed they were playing. 😎 🏀

The Ice Skating rink at the beach in San Diego last night (at the Hotel Del Coronado). This is why you’ll never find us Dreaming of a White Christmas.

San Diego Socker’s game last night at Frontwave arena with Josh, Kara, Jonah& Kellen. Fun night, kids got player autographs, great seats. And the kids think they’re at a World Cup game.

Always a joy to host local SD pastors and church planters for a couple of hours of Q&A every few months - And same for preaching this weekend at N Coast - Did you know Jesus has an Elfster list? It’s found in Romans 12:1-2

[Larry Osborne @LarryOsborne]

Blessed to spend Thanksgiving with Nancy cooking and hosting another family gathering. Psalm 127 & Proverbs 31:1 Truth

After finally getting home from St Louis (a 2 day Gong Show), yesterday was a blast. Preached for my friend Doug Reid at Coast City where God is doing some great things. Then sat courtside at the Clippers G-League game with my basketball son, Josh. Some days it’s good to Larry.

Road Warrior Life: 2 great days with Matt Bartig’s team at Northroad Church in St Louis area followed by 2 days of canceled and delayed flights trying to get back to San Diego. Looking forward to preaching for Doug Reid at Coast City this weekend IF I ever get home.

[Larry Osborne @LarryOsborne]

Spent the last few days mentoring and tackling ministry challenges with these Global Leadership Network host pastors. GLN continues to rock.

[Larry Osborne @LarryOsborne]

As always, loved the privilege of preaching at North Coast this weekend - Digging into Matthew 11:1-19 NOT THE JESUS ANYONE EXPECTED
