Thursday May 28

Here is Thursdays blog, one day late.

Word of the Day
This week we looked at the first two commandments and realized that God comes first. God is first in our lives. We can have no other gods besides Him, we can have no idols to worship. I have to look at my life and see if there is anything I put to much trust in. Do I care more about my things than I should. Do I care about my pride. Would I be willing to give away my internet? Hmmmm. Food for thought. God needs to be first in our lives, and nothing should be off limits. That seems so easy, but when you really look at it, it can be so hard. Would I give up my TV? Hmmmm. My house? Everyday, I need to look at my life and make sure there is nothing ahead of Him.

What's up
We have our work day on Friday. PHS graduation on Saturday. Church on Sunday. Elena and Allie leave for Reno, NV on Friday. Sara gets her drivers license on Friday. School is out on Friday. Busy, busy weekend.

Tuesday May 26

Hello all,
This week has been a great week. Hope everyone had a great memorial day weekend.

Word of the day
This Sunday I challenge the congregation to remember those who died for thier freedom, remember the one who died for your sin, and remember those who influenced your lives. I also challenged eveyone to think about how you will be remembered. What memorial will you leave for others to remember you by. I've thought about that over the last few days. I hope that people will remember my creative sermons. But I hope even more that they see the love of Christ in my life. As a Pastor, you have good times and bad times. People love you and they hate you. And you wonder sometimes, which will people remember the most. If it is true what they say that it takes 7 good things to erase 1 bad thing in a persons memory. Boy, do we have a lot of good things to do!!

What's up
God is awesome and took care of the surgery visit I went to today. No problems - no complications. I do not plan to substitute any more this week - and since this is the last week of the year - I do not plan to substitute any more this year! We have Wednesday night service as usual and we have a work day planned to work on the walkway Friday night at 5pm. Elena and Allie leave for Reno, NV on Friday after school so Sara and I will be by ourselves for a week! Saturday I will be at Pampa Graduation - GO CHRIS!



Have a great week.

Thursday May 21st

Hello,
Today is Thursday May 19th and I am still experimenting with how all this works.

Word for the Day
This Wednesday we talked about Moses and having a mountaintop experience with God. We all need time to get away and just seek Him. I am hoping to have a great experience with the Lord this weekend at the Royal Ranger Frontier Camping Fellowship. I know that whenever I leave my natural surroundings and get away to be with the Lord - God shows up for me. He will show up for you too. Just take some time, take a walk, get by yourself - and let God be God.

What's Up
I am now finished with the last day of substitute teaching for this year. I will be camping Friday and Saturday and will take Monday off to be with the family. Tuesday I will be in Amarillo on work business during the day, but will be back Tuesday Evening. Wednesday everything should get back to normal.

Tuesday May 19th

Hi,
This is my sample blog for Tuesday May 19th. I hope to be able to write to all who are interested about New Life Assembly of God. I hope this will work out as a way to keep in communication with you all.
