ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL??

admin — Mon, 16 Aug 2010 17:10:36 +0000

O yes I know its that time again…I am pumped for some hard hitting, pulse pounding, speed burning, touchdown scoring to begin. Anybody else excited about it?? I realize that this excitement will be released from the comfort of my own home , or if I am blessed to maybe catch a glimpse of the Buckeyes or Bengals from the “Horse Shoe” or Paul Brown Stadium. Isn’t it funny that we get pumped up about something we are just watching. Life is not a spectator sport and if we are ever going to be apart of something greater than ourselves we must leave the safety and security of the bleachers. Come on people put the helmet and pads on …snap on the chin strap, and get in the huddle. You can continue to be a rabid fan and hope for a win for your favorite team or you can run out on the field and participate in the greatest team ever assembled…It’s called The Church.

Ahhhh…VACATION!

We are enjoying our family time together visiting Washington D.C., and now at the beach…no alarm clocks! Ahhhhh… Our love to you!

LET THE VAST VOYAGE BEGIN !!

Sunday morning God kicked off our VBS week, which netted 3 young lives. Sunday night there were 3 more and at the time of this post we have seen 40 young people give their hearts and lives to Jesus. I know there are a lot of you who are worn out from this High Seas Expedition, but I remind us that a voyage is not a luxury cruise. We have been in the middle of a raging tempest, and watched God rescue these dear children for His glory. Thanks to everyone who made this week possible !! What a Mighty God we serve….We have learned this week that God’s Word is Life Changing…. AHOY!!!

The haze of the smoke has lifted ..the last booms have echoed..the patriotic tunes that resonated are quieted…I look around and July 4th is behind us, but my freedom in Christ still remains. Does freedom dominate your life? Are you free in Christ?? I woke up today realizing that i have been freed of myself, freed from my sin, and free to live for my Savior!! Free dominates my life. John 10:10

CHRISTmas

admin — Wed, 02 Dec 2009 14:54:29 +0000

Look around its CHRISTmas time!!¬† The days will quickly turn to hours as people get caught up in the hustle and bustle of the season.¬† Children are filled with curiosity to see if they will ” get what they want” while parents worry about affording the”latest and greatest.”¬† I struggle to even remember what I received last year, but I do know that CHRIST lives inside me, and He is the greatest gift ever!!!

Our world has turned a joyous celebration into a retail circus.¬† This is a far cry from the first cry of the Babe in a manger.¬† We as believers have even fallen prey to ” consumerism” instead of allowing Christ to consume us.¬† CHRISTmas is one day, but when its over are we any different?

My challenge to all of us is that we can celebrate the true meaning of CHRISTmas by spending less and giving more ! When we begin to accomplish this we will all see that CHRISTmas can still change the world!!

17th 18th…..

admin — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 00:39:50 +0000

it seems for me good things happen on the 17th..yesterday was no exception!! By nightfall i had the privilege of leading a friend to faith in Christ..i also found out that a sheep that i shepherd was being¬† released from a “prison” that had held them captive.¬† Today is the 18th the day that my father 12 years ago went to heaven…what a difference a day makes,but my father today is living in the glories of heaven because he found faith in Christ, and was released from his prison here on earth…PRAISE TO YOU MY GOD for making every day wonderful and glorious…You give and take away!!!!

USED!! OR USING??

admin — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 16:56:24 +0000

Oswald Chambers wrote ” He ( God) is using you now for His purposes throughout the world…I have to learn that the aim in life is God’s, not mine.” This is a great identity when you can grasp it.¬† My question is are you and I trying to use God for what we want or are we being used by God?? I can feel cheap or cheat myself when i try to make God that omnipotent Santa Claus. I am free when I know He is using me!!¬† Don’t be a user..Be Used!!

Dissapointment

admin — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 15:11:47 +0000

I am sure that all of us at one point or another have gone through a time of disappointment.¬† I spoke to a friend yesterday who did not receive the promotion he wanted….UGH…Today I had plans that will go unfulfilled….You might be right now saying my health is failing…UGH..We can’t dwell on what we felt should have happened or we will miss the appointment for the day that God knew would take place.¬† The challenge is: to not allow disappointment to equal “miss appointment”. Give your areas of disappointment to Him then move on so that you wont miss The Appointment!!
