A Monday Morning Medley!

• I am enjoying the fellowship of Whitesville Baptist Church this week. Pray for their church, their Pastor Jonathan Baker, Wendy and his family! A beautiful and  sweet family and did I mention they are from MISSISSIPPI!
• The Swine Flu.....how concerned are you and what are you doing about it?
• I woke up one morning this past week and was led to Psalm 43. What a good read!
• We had a good time with my In-laws over the weekend but my girls never want them to leave. I am glad they love their Grandparents. Unfortunately, I never knew mine but Heaven awaits.
• I will ask again.... Does anyone know when the Chick-Fil-A is going to begin construction on Fredrica Street?
• I am still pulling for Danny Gokey on AI. I really liked Matt and Chris as well. 

Just Thinking!

• I am proud of Miss California for having the courage to speak her convictions even if it is not politically correct. Jesus never once mentioned being politically correct but He did say we are to be salt and light. 
• Scheduled to go to Nepal at the end of May, what about the Swine Flu?
• Fast pitch softball can be boring!
• I still haven't played golf. My clubs are in the attic. I have watched it on television.
• Making disciples of Jesus Christ is a priority we have missed as Southern Baptist.
• Danny Akin, President of Southeastern Seminary in North Carolina shared in chapel with his students some interesting thoughts on our Convention. Here is the link to watch/listen to his sermon.  http://www.sebts.edu/news-resources/multimedia.aspx?type=chapel&Vid=129 
• Another sermon from a pastor in Memphis. The title is "John Calipari ain't Jesus Christ" go to youtube and type in the title. Check out part 1.

• Does anyone know when Chick Fil A is going to begin building in Owensboro?  

He is Alive!

Here are a few questions to consider.

If you believe Christ is alive, what difference has it made in your life? 

Are you being transformed in His image?

Shouldn't every day be Resurrection day for the believer?

If I believe Christ is Alive, so what? Am I changed and do people around me know why?

I don't want to simply celebrate it and say it, but I want it to make a difference in my life!

HAPPY EASTER! HE IS RISEN INDEED!

It's Holy Week

Tomorrow night we will observe "Maundy Thursday" the Last supper Jesus spent with his disciples before going to the cross for us on Friday. It's good to be reminded of the events of Holy Week. Let me encourage you to read the account of it in the Gospels. WHAT A WEEK! WHAT A SAVIOUR!" 

SUNDAY IS COMING!!!!

It's Monday!

• I feel guilty because it's been a long time in between blogs. Why should I feel that way? I am not of the persuasion my blog is a lifeline for anybody. I, my blog nor anyone else's blog is that important. Anyway here are some thoughts on my mind this morning.
• I need change in my life sometimes just for the sake of change. I realize it's not for everyone but I need that. I was just speaking to a friend of mine who feels the same way. He helped me to see that I am not alone. Maybe we are weird. It won't be the first time anyone has thought or said that about me.
• Have you heard of Ethan Bortnik? He is a 6 year old piano prodigy. You can google him on the Tonight Show. It is unbelievable and worth 7 minutes of your time. 
• How is your prayer life? I read an article written by an Army Chaplain entitled "Some Pray and Die" which I believe is very profound and insightful. Here is a little excerpt...     Is there such a thing as getting the "breaks" in prayer? What about the fellows who pray regularly, but get killed regularly? I wish people would stop writing about the soldiers who pray and have their prayers answered by not getting killed. Why do all the other soldiers seem to get the wrong answer?
• I only watch College basketball when "March Madness" begins. Since Kentucky failed to make the tourney why not pull for Louisville? I also like NC because of their coach Roy Williams. He is a Follower of Christ!
• Danny Gokey is still my favorite to win AI!
• Spring Break begins this weekend and I am looking forward to spending time with my family. 

Just some thoughts!

• God is not surprised by the economic downturn and it could be a great blessing. God has a way of making good out of bad you know!
• I am ready for SPRING weather.
• God is teaching me a lot in the book of Philippians.
• It's hard to lose weight at 51 because I have a greater desire to eat and less desire to exercise than I did at 21.
• I have never seen an episode of 24.
• I believe Danny Gokey (contestant on American Idol) is my favorite!
• A former contestant on AI has been nominated for a Dove Award. His name is Chris Sligh! You can vote for him at http://www.gospelmusicchannel.com/dovesvoting

One many will miss!

I just found out this morning about Paul Harvey's death. What a wonderful commentator, gifted communicator, and radio personality. There are many more terms which could describe Paul Harvey however none would be more honorable than "Christian Follower of Jesus." He was a believer in our Lord. On Saturday he died at the age of 90 and as he so often said, "Now He knows the Rest of the Story!" 

"Absent from the body present with the Lord"
