another effort to cut back on the CAFFINE

wellllllll! here we go again. About a year ago I stopped drinking coffee AND Dr. Pepper for a few months. I had never felt so good. Once I valiantly passed the body cleansing phase and after the intervention it was great. I had so much energy! But, it got real busy and I found myself driving by Starbucks and my body would almost go into convulsions. Well to make a long story short I fell back into the at least a pot a day routine.

Today I am starting with only two cups. Lets see how it goes.

Thankful for Our teenagers

I just want to say how proud of, and how thankful for, I am of our teenagers. I believe God has blessed our church with some of the best teens in the world! Thank you for your great attitudes and your heart for the Lord! I wish I was able to spend more time with all of you! I enjoyed being in chapel with you today!

preaching chapel in the morning

Sermon: Identity Crisis
The Children of Israel were reminded over 25 times "I am the Lord your God". They had forgotten who they were and where they had come from. They had forgotten Exodus and how they were delivered out of Egypt! They had forgotten their salvation. They did not know who they were. I hope we are not at that place. A place where we have forgotten who we are. Where we have come from and what we have been delivered from. We are children of the King. We are a chosen generation. We are representatives of the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords!!! Let live it! Lets remember it!

Great Couples retreat this past weekend

We had over 20 couple join us for our cx3 and Barean class couples retreat this past weekend. We stayed in Gettysburg right by the outlets. Friday night we had preaching by Bro. Montoro then some great games them wonderful evenings with our significant others. Saturday morning we had an old fashioned breakfast and I spoke. Then we spent the remainder of the day doing what ever we felt like. We hung out with the Jay's and Hiatts and had a stellar tour of Gettysburg on SEGWAYS!!!!!! Probably one of the coolest things I have done in a while!!!

Great Quote From David Brainard

David Brainard (great missionary to the Indians) said: “I never got away from Jesus and Him crucified. I found when my people were gripped by this great evangelical doctrine of Christ and him crucified, I had no need to give them instructions about morality. I found that one followed as the sure and inevitable fruit of the other.”

I am the Lord YOUR God

This is what I have for this Wednesday night: I will be preaching at http://www.rosedalebaptist.org/

Text: Leviticus 11:45 Chapters 18-26

Outline:
When the Lords Your God
1. It's a Personal Place (prayer)
2. It's a Protected Place (permanent)
3. It's a Proactive Place (praise)
4. It's a Powerful Place (preeminent)
5. It's a Peaceful Place (proven)

I hope you will all pray that it goes well!!!
