Monday Morning

  • Psalms 46:10 - slow down and recognize the voice and work of God around us today.
  • Reading an article that Tony Morgan pointed to today. Click HERE.  Good, good stuff.
  • We added a new leadership team member last week.  Nancy Wright will deal with administration and continue her roles with guest services and volunteers.  Welcome Nancy!
  • Excellent day at The Community on Sunday as we talked about "The Economy & My Faith" using 2 Kings 4:1-7.
  • Some of those Super Bowl commercials were awesome
  • The Super Bowl was kind of dull durinig the first half.  The last 5 minutes were priceless.  I know my heart is OK after that stress on it.  Surely the Card's and the Steelers need some stress relief now.  Ha.
  • Today's TV show will be on early at 12:30 and can be seen here live.  This is due to the live blood drive they are having with the American Red Cross this afternoon.
  • New floors are going down in our kitchen this morning.  Headed that way to get them started in a minute.
  • On Saturday Pastor Rob Lovell from New Beginnings Church in Saginaw, Michigan passed away after a battle with Luekemia.  he leaves behind his wife, Courtney, 4 great kids, more family and a great church.  Please pray for this family.  The memorial service is this coming Saturday.
  • Got to say one more thing...I love my kids.  All three of them had a moment with me this week.  Growing up too fast!!! But I love their hearts and their hugs.  By the way, the budget is rocking ... paid all the bills thru the middle of the month and we have money left.  Check out Joe Sangl for stuff that will make your budget work.
  • God is good ... All the time! Praying that I will and you will be excited about demonstrating the love of God to our community and beyond.  Have an awesome week.

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 ...

  John 13:4-5,14 NLT  So he got up from the table, took off his robe, wrapped a towel around his waist, 5 and poured water into a basin. Then he began to wash the disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel he had around him… 14 And since I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash each other’s feet. Jesus set the example we follow.  He served.  He valued and gave value to others.  That is why we choose to serve. For 18 years our church has shared an outreach called back2school, and for 16 of those years we have chosen to give students brand new shoes and socks as well as washing their feet.  It is one of the most important parts of this event. Washing feet is a humbling experience where both the give and the receiver learn how to share some moments that might change their lives.  Jesus said we should do this.  See the verse above.  Follow His example, do what He did, and give far more than you will ever know....
