Thoughts from the weekend

Thoughts from the weekend:

We will all miss Pastor Beverly.  She was a wonderful woman of God who is now in heaven - rejoicing!

Many accepted Christ at the funeral.  I am grateful to God for that - many thanks to the Holy Spirit for working as He did.

I was thrilled at the response Saturday morning to our door to door ministry.  Over 25 people came!  "Father, may you use this effort to reach people for you"!  We went to a 1000 homes - thanks to all who came.  Thanks for your caring, thanks for your faithfulness.  Thanks for your burden for the lost.

Up and down weekend football wise.  Michigan State just hammered Michigan.  Overpowered them.  I like the way MSU plays defense.

My Dallas Cowboys.  Again, it wasn't just that they lost - it was the way that they lost.  Tom Brady did his "thing" again for the New England Patriots - leading them on a last second touchdown drive.

The Cowboy coaching staff is losing their confidence in Tony Romo.

Rob Ryan is a great defensive coordinator.

Went out to lunch with Rapael and Sharon Mercado.  Good people. 

Went to the Cracker Barrel.  I had forgotten how good their cornbread is.

I am thankful for everyone who ministers at our church.  Their faithfulness is a continual encouragement to me.

It was heart warming to see people around the altar yesterday giving their needs to the Lord.  Many tears were shed. 

God is up to something good!

People are hurting - God is the answer!

I continue to remain grateful for our pastoral and office staff.  If you get a chance, thank them for all that they do.  We have a great team!

People need the Lord.

May we all reach out to those around us this week.

Philippians is a wonderful book.

I love the new chorus Amanda has introduced to us that speaks of the fact that the "Lord is our light and our salvation."

Lord, we want more of your ministry presence in our lives!
