Happy New Year
Let me wish all you fellow blogites a happy new year. I am sure you’re like me and can’t believe 09 is here. Last year went fast - but it was a good year. Most of my life is wrapped up in my family and church and I guess that’s a good thing. I did get to travel to some new places and minister to some great people. I saw a couple of new amazing sights like Mount Ararat when I was in Armenia and of course just last month Donna and I went to the Galapagos Islands off of Ecuador and came home even stronger believers in creation. I mean what was Charles Darwin smoking anyway? It would take amazing faith to see that place and actually think it some how all evolved. I mean to look into the face of the marine iguana … scary ugly …and then into the face of my gorgeous wife and try to believe they are somehow related… get real. Anyway I enjoyed the experience.
I got up this morning and prayed and it was a challenge because I laid before the Lord all the things in my life I need him work on and the list just kept growing. Of course like the majority of the American population I prayed about dieting and losing some weight and I prayed about him helping me to be more godly and productive.
Most of all I prayed that what I wrote in my sermon yesterday (I will preach Sunday) - is I want to experience the extraordinary life the Bible talks about. So my blog-wish and prayer for you and me is that we may go into 09 and experience anything but an ordinary life. May the fullness of God rest on each and ever person every day.
