Current Reads: Deadly Viper Character Assassins, Catholicism and Fundamentalism, and Going All the Way

Just those I'd throw a blog out there with the books I have on my reading list at this time. And yes, I am readint them all, slowly I might ad. So, here are the books, a little description, a note or link or so. Enjoy....I am!

Our leadership team at The Community Fellowship is reading Deadly Viper Character Assassins which is a great little book about integrity and godliness. Learn more at this website: http://www.deadlyvipers.org/

A buddy of mine gave me this book a couple years ago, and I have just started it. Interesting read with lots of big words and thoughts. I am finding some stuff that I have not thought about.

Craig Groeschel is pastor of Lifechurch.tv and writes a blog called Swerve. The book is about relationships that work. Written for people headed into or out of marriage, or for those trying to make sense of the one they are in. I am considering use this as a tool for pre-marital counseling. By the way, my brother Steve and his family go to life church, and I am look forward to visiting this Christmas.

So, that is what I am reading and carrying around with me these days. I read slow and sometimes have to re-read to get the point, but you know, God has some big stuff for us in some corners of books and on the avenues of life. It is my thought and God's call to live life the best we can.

Lets live it up and get as many people excited about life as we can!

Have you heard of EDITH BURNS?

Edith Burns was a wonderful Christian who lived in San Antonio, Texas . She was the patient of a doctor by the name of Will Phillips. Dr. Phillips was a gentle doctor who saw patients as people. His favorite patient was Edith Burns. One morning he went to his office with a heavy heart and it was because of Edith Burns. When he walked into that waiting room, there sat Edith with her big black Bible in her lap earnestly talking to a young mother sitting beside her. Edith Burns had a habit of introducing herself in this way: "Hello, my name is Edith Burns. Do you believe in Easter?" Then she would explain the meaning of Easter, and many times people would be saved. Dr. Phillips walked into that office and there he saw the head nurse, Beverly. Beverly had first met Edith when she was taking her blood pressure. Edith began by saying,"My name is Edith Burns. Do you believe in Easter?" Beverly said, "Why yes I do." Edith said, "Well, what do you

why is it Good Friday?

Holy Week is the time we focus on God and His gift of salvation. We come to Friday. The day we remember the cross, Jesus’ death and all God has done for you and me Why do they call this day “Good Friday” because it doesn’t seems good? Jesus was treated as a criminal. He was beaten so much that He could not recognize Him. His pain would have been too much for you or me to endure. That is especially from Scripture I’ve read or as in the movie the Passion of the Christ . Yet it is a good day. It is Good Friday because God had our good in His heart. What Jesus did that day changed our forever direction. Here are some thoughts that come to me: He is Redemption and Redeemer He too our Pain and Punishment He is our Righteousness and Reality He is the Savior and Life All of those happened from the cross. It was meant for the worst lawbreakers. It was not meant for a Savior who never broke a law. It was lifted high so that onlookers could see the price Jesus. Look

Day 8 in Cuba

We have just come off and incredible weekend, and it is day 8 of the mission trip in Cuba. Thank you to all who have been praying for this trip, the mission team and the impact it will have on those we serve. Please don’t stop praying. Last week Alex and I served with a mission team in the mountains of southern Cuba. There were several challenges, but God gave us safety, provision and opportunity to serve some of the sweetest people I have ever met. No running water… sporadic electricity generated by a small, logo dammed up river, no transportation other than animals, limited food sources and more. These people love the Lord and sharing their faith with others. Over the weekend we made our way back to Havana. On Friday our vehicle broke down leaving us on the side of the road for several hours. We then boarded a bus and rode 14 hours. We arrived safely and even got some rest. Sunday was so, so good. We visited two partner churches. In the morning we were with one church that
