Some of the thoughts going through my head today…
- Carrie and the kids are away visiting family in Illinois for a week. I really don’t like them being out of my heart and home for any period of time at all. They are such a GIFT to me, and I always seem to realize it most when they’re gone.
- I was driving to church this morning, and experienced God in a fresh way in the Explorer. Was it because I just recently exhausted myself cleaning it inside and out? Probably not. Actually, I just turned off the radio (which can be a crutch sometimes) and meditated in the silence. Proverbs 3:6 [in ALL your ways, acknowledge Him, and He will direct your paths] came to mind, and became a friendly “bump in the rudder” for me to remember to include God in everything I do – even the little insignificant things.
- Putting the final touches on a backpack full of sermons for next week’s youth camp I’ll be preaching at. Oh yes, and there are BIG BAD BEARS where we’re staying, which means nobody should have a problem with late night escapades from any of the campers! At least they’ll be awake for my sermons =)
- I’m really proud of the people from Kingsview who have responded so well in their generosity towards missions, as we have seen a huge jump in giving recently. I’m clapping for you – keep up the good work!
- The curls are gone. Yep – all gone.
- If you say what God wants you to say, then all the criticism in the world doesn’t matter. If you don’t say what God wants you to say, then all the compliments in the world don’t matter. – Mark Batterson
- WE;OJREO()@*&(VERP90U5N4*^085DSO;JNFSLD;JF NSDJNF459*^@.
- OH, sorry about that… I just passed out for a moment there and my head fell on the keyboard when I looked at my Harley calendar and saw that we are in AUGUST already. Breathe, Jeff and collect yourself.
- God knew what He was doing when He created coffee! OK, well He knew what He was doing when He created everything [even fire ants] but I choose to celebrate His creation in coffee today… Bottoms up!
- Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all of my days [Psalm 23:6].
