This one is for you fellow "church leaders" out there… Imagine a church that really behaved as a complete body. Where every member (and I don’t mean the ones who went forward and said some silly phrase of initiation… I mean the people who are part of the church on a regular basis) was an…
Pressure Sales
Do you know how many people told us their strategies for resisting sales pitches this past week? They heard we were going to take advantage of this offer to come and hear a sales pitch and then stay at the resort for free for 5 days and 4 nights. Everyone had an opinion and they…
No Kidding
Well, here we are, all alone. No kids. No kidding. 🙂 It’s all at once marvelous and mysterious. 🙂 We aren’t quite sure what to do with ourselves. And it’s so quiet. 🙂 I don’t really have anything more to say, just thought I’d mention how strange it is to not have Ian and Alex…
Restoration
Well, it seems we are nearly in the clear. Our phone was disconnected due to HUGE billing errors on the part of our PREVIOUS phone company (well, almost previous). They have been billing us the wrong amounts, not billing us, starting new accounts, telling us wrong information, and threatening disconnects that they said should be…
Misunderstandings
I just thought I’d clarify on last night’s entry. Jen wanted me to. 🙂 I am not so full of myself that I need to go around proclaiming our fame to anyone who will happen upon and read this blog. That was not my intent in posting yesterday’s blog entry. For those of you who…
Being Famous
I think we’re famous. Not like Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods or Arnold Schwarzenegger famous. (I had to look that one up…) But, we are famous. I don’t mean that to sound as arrogant or self-proclaimed as it does. What I have noticed, though, is that quite frequently in many places around the country, there are…
New Team?
I think I am a Bengals fan now. You know, we have stated here on this very page before, that we are BIG Bills fans. And always will be. But you know what… THEY’RE BAD!!! Oh boy. It’s bad. So… Who dey? Who dey? Who dey said they gonna beat them Bengals??? 🙂 We both…
Twice as Fast
It’s 1:28 in the morning, on Saturday night… and I have to get up early tomorrow morning to help lead worship at Cross Creek Church here in Palmyra. So, I have to go to bed. But I am not tired. Not one bit. You know why? I have too much stuff I like to do….
Snow!
Well, we are HOME now!!! Whooo-hoooo!!! And there is a TON of snow here!!!!!!! (OK, not a ton, but more than there was in Orlando…) Our trip home was adventureous and a bit slow — took us almost 14 hours… but it was great to pull into OUR snow covered driveway, and shovel snow off…
God Time
I was just thinking tonight that God is so much cooler than we even know. There’s a line in Chris Tomlin’s song, Enough that says "and still more awesome than I know…" It’s true. Tonight went very well. We sang and talked about God’s grace, and the freedom that we have in that grace. And…
