what God does


 

There are so many things that happen that we do not expect.  Some of them aren’t good.  Some of them are very good.


That is why I take a little time to draw our attention to the things we see or experience or find that are just amazing.  It is kind of like the rainbow that springs across the sky as it sprays beauty for all to see.  It is the cry of a little one and as they calm and smile making your heart melt.  It is seeing the precious guy or girl spending time at the altar because of what is going on in their lives, and their time at the altar brings an extra sense of peace over our hearts.


Psalm 29:11  NLT  

The Lord gives his people strength. The Lord blesses them with peace.


We have experienced a few things recent that have taken my attention back to God.  It brought praise and and such contentment to my life.  God is working.  I am grateful.


Psalm 19:1-3  NLT  

The heavens proclaim the glory of God.  The skies display his craftsmanship. 2  Day after day they continue to speak; night after night they make him known. 3  They speak without a sound or word; their voice is never heard.


Take some time today to watch and take in all that God is doing.  Ask Him not only to show up but to show off.  I love the way that God assures us and continues to work in our lives.


It might be an easy day where things are good and predictable.  It might be a rough day with lots of unpredictable.  All through it God is doing what He does best.  He does the amazing.


Ephesians 2:10  NLT  

For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.

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
