VIVE- AGAIN!

Currently setting in our room at a B&B in Hugoton. Preached the first of 3 nights at the UMC. A wonderful evening. Good turnout and good response at the invitation. God blessed our time together and I see no reason why He won't do the same the next 2 nights. Pray for me and the church here in Hugoton that God would "re-vive" (or bring life again) to His church. Much appreciated. Thanks!

The theme for the week - "I (Paul) planted, Apollos watered, and God made it grow". (1 Cor. 3:6).

The 3 sermons - A call to maturity, A call to unity, A call to priority.

ONWARD!!

The devil is working overtime lately but here's the deal, "The grave is empty and the victory is in Jesus!" Time to put on the spiritual armor and get after it!




"Finally, be strong in the Lord, and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes." Ephesians 6:10-11.

GRANDBABY #4 ON THE WAY!!!!

Here we go again! Todd and Melissa gave us the green light to announce to all of you that we are going to be grandparents again. The big O (Owen) is going to be a big brother the end of April of next year. So what will this little one be - a boy or a girl? Remember, little Adelyn broke the string of Just boys. So will it happen again? What do you think?????

Owen having a laugh with gramps and grammy.



Adelyn content setting on grammy's lap.

What can you say???


We are so blessed! God is so good to have given us such great grandkids. And now another one in 2010 - can't wait!!

I WONDER....................

Yeah, it's kind of strange, but have you ever thought about the "rest of the story" when it comes to some of the Biblical characters or stories in Scripture? For example, I talked about Zaccheaus yesterday in Luke 19. I wonder:

  • How much money did he return to those he ripped off? How did the poor respond to him when he gave them money?
  • What was the first thing the blind man saw after Jesus gave him his sight? How did he know what it was?
  • Did Peter ever attempt to walk on water again?
  • How many people really think John the Baptist was a "Baptist". Was he an independent, North American, or Southern Baptist?
  • What happened to Jesus' earthly father, Joseph? He kind of disappeared after Jesus was born?
  • If Noah ever ate fish after his ordeal with the "whale"?
  • If Adam and Eve ever sat down and asked, "What would have happened if we repented"?
  • What Timothy would say was the greatest thing he learned from the apostle Paul?
  • If God gets a kick out of people like me who ask these silly questions?

What are your questions??????????
