Thoughts from the weekend

Thoughts from the weekend:

Busy, busy weekend.

Drove down to Springfield, Missouri on Friday with Debbie, Christie and Becky.

Had a great time in the car saying the capitals of all of the states (from memory) and the books of the Bible (Christie and I used to do that when we she was a child).

Try saying the major and minor prophets from memory and in order.  Great challenge.

Went to a wedding in Springfield for Debbie's niece Charity.  Saw lots of family including my mom and dad and George.

The wedding was absolutely beautiful.  Red was the color.  A wonderful, sincere, godly tone to the ceremony.

God is good!

Had lunch with Dr. and Mrs. Spence of Evangel University at the reception.

Good people.  He's been a great president for EU.

Ready for the NFL to start on Wednesday evening - Dallas Cowboys and the New York Giants!

I am looking at the Cowboys having an 8-8 record.

There is so much parity in the NFL - hard to pick out a winner.

Many, many thanks to everyone who helped out with our church picnic. 

It was a wonderful success!

Great food, excellent time of fellowship as many played "bags" and volleyball.

We are a family, a church family, the family of God.  Through the good times and the challenging times we stand together.

What keeps us together is our blood ties - the blood of Jesus Christ.  We come from all walks of life - but we all have one thing in common:  our relationship with Jesus.

I am privileged to be the pastor of Stone Church.

Love you all.....
