We've Arrived

Our family loves Christmas. We spent much of the weekend getting ready
to travel.

The snow was awesome. Yeah, it hampered our service Sunday at The
Community, but our family got to play together in the snow, we got to
worship with a group of friends and had some great moments together.
Now we have arrived in Vidalia where my wife was raised. My mother in
law treated us to a wonderful dinner. Our new puppy is having a ball
and chewing up stuff, like opening presents. Not good. But our
Christmas is set. Last night we got to bless and share with some of
our neighbors. Today we talked about the reason for the season. I'm
planning some more moments of Jesus time. I can't wait. How is Jesus
part of your celebration?

Please pray for my friend Rodney Jamison. He is pastor of Crossroads
Baptist Chapel in Burnsville, West Virginia. They had 3 feet of snow
and have no electricity at present. He also had a car accident today.
Rodney is fine but needs our prayers. The Community adopted Rodney and
his church as our church plant for the year. God is doing great things
in and through Rodney. He is a great man.

More to come. Have a blessed Christmas 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 ...

wash feet, sharing hope

  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....
