Thoughts from the weekend

Thoughts from the weekend:

Jonathan Sites (Debbie's nephew) is a great guy.  Solid as a rock.  Loves God.  He was at our home visiting this weekend.

Our church is "hungry" for God's presence.

God is beginning to do a great, spiritual "thing" in our lives.

Let's all be open to what God wants to do!

Seeing people around the altar seeking God's wisdom and knowledge - priceless.

Visited Bozena Wolf Saturday.  She is not doing well, physically.  Let's all be in prayer for her and the family.

I had one of those weeks, last week, where I had to recommit myself to the words of Mother Teresa below.  I would suggest you read them every so often.

Mother Teresa wrote, ""People are unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered. Love them anyway. If you do good, people may accuse you of selfish motives. Do good anyway. If you are successful, you may win false friends and true enemies. Succeed anyway. The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway. Honesty and transparency make you vulnerable. Be honest and transparent anyway. What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight. Build anyway. People who really want help may attack you if you help them. Help them anyway. Give the world the best you have and you may get hurt. Give the world your best anyway."

Sometimes we just need to pray, "Father, people are acting in a really goofy, carnal way.  Lord mine is not to change that person but to love that person.  Help me to do so, Lord.  Help me to act and react in a manner that would glorify the name of Jesus Christ."

There is nothing like a John Wayne western. 

The end of of the movie "Chisum" is wonderful.  John Wayne sitting on a horse over looking a valley.

Frank Wolf is one of the kindest, most godly men I have ever met.

I am thankful for the great, godly, loving, relational staff that we have here at Stone Church.  They are fun to work with.

I love my wife.  She is WONDERFUL!
