Speaking of Honesty

Can I just be honest with you? I really dislike summer. No, it’s not the heat or the mosquitoes or the high electric bills that causes me to dislike it. It’s the fact that many of you take off on vacations for what seems like weeks and I don’t see you or know where you are and to be honest, I don’t like that! I know it may seem silly but this shepherd misses the sheep that God has put in his care. So as some of you have started returning, it’s brought back an anticipation to my heart of who is back this week that I haven’t seen in a while. Guess that’s why God calls us a “family”.

Stump the Chumps!

I must admit, I wasn’t as fond of the idea as Pastor Mark was. Taking an evening of having questions fired at you and then having to back your answers up with scripture only brought back a grueling scene of when I was ordained for the first time in the Baptist Church. NO FUN!

But what occurred last night was pleasantly one of the most fun things that I’ve done in a long time. To see people hungry for what the Word of God had to say, was captivating. And to hear the comments from people afterwards just reminded me that God has a great sense of humor and loves to even use a chump like me in His work.
