A Month Later...

Ok as I look back it has been exactly one month…It is not that I am short on words to say it’s just feeling comfortable enough to write them down…lazy. My grandbabies were over this weekend and one said she was just lazy…talking about keeping their rooms clean. Is laziness a sin??? I hope not because most of us suffer a little bit from it, from time to time. Since I last posted I have been to Chile to see our missionaries and explain our new direction and vision concerning missions. Our church leadership team is excited about the direction and look forward to seeing it come to pass. At one of the meeting this past month we devoted some time to discuss how we could lay out the challenge to our members. We committed to pray for several weeks and when we returned it was settled that we would challenge in five areas. Pastor Kent will be sharing during the next several weeks. I don’t want to “steal” his message but eating beans and rice sounds good…until you do it every day for _____ and you fill in the blanks. Feeling the way most of the world “has to eat” will be a real challenge to us as Americans. But God will show us all something very cool about His heart for the hurting. Check out the series he will be preaching at www.cfellowshipc.org I also attended a conference on The Truth Project and am very excited about the material. We will be offering it during our winter session of our Transformation University (TU). You can check it out at www.thetruthproject.org , view the long trailer and I believe it will excite you as well. I couldn’t wait for the winter session to begin so my daughter and son-in-law (the parents of my two beautiful grandbabies) are hosting a small group in their home. We are hopeful that God will use this material to really challenge our young people, thus helping them become more “grounded” in their faith. Pray for the project as a whole and for this small group in particular…more later…
