It's the end of November and time for Part 3 -- #21-30.In these last ten items of thanks, you will find some more materialistic items of thanks. It may seem shallow, but they are things that do make life easier and for which I give thanks.21. The internet (Thank you, Al Gore!). I use today's technology far less than most, but I really do enjoy the access to knowledge and information available on the 'net.22. Cell phones. Same as above. I don't have a 'smart' phone. It's not exactly a 'dumb' phone, but it is primarily just a phone for talking and...

Giving Thanks: Part 2
Posted on 21:10 by Unknown
It's the day after Black Friday and I've slept a couple of hours after having worked the mid. I've had a couple cups of coffee and am getting ready to pour a third. Time to begin writing part two of the thankfulness list:11. Chillicothe, IL. I grew up in a small town in Central Illinois. Some would say that it's just like any other small town in the Midwest. What makes Chillicothe different from the thousands of other small towns is that Chillicothe is home. We played Little League baseball and anybody that wanted to play got to play. After the...

Giving Thanks
Posted on 18:45 by Unknown
Since the beginning of the month, many of my Facebook friends have been posting some of the many things that they have to be thankful for--one each day.I didn't take me long to decide that this was one of the many Facebook trends that I would choose not to participate in. It's not that I don't have much to give thanks for; I just don't like to conform to the crowds and I figured that I'd mess up and miss somewhere along the way. Maybe it's the easy way out to write a single post and name 30 things that I have and am extremely grateful for.1. Not...

Rejoicing in the Victories; Weeping for the Wounded; Longing for the Lost
Posted on 18:06 by Unknown
I've had a pretty fantastic fall season as far as ministry goes. I've been blessed with great opportunities, great audiences and great responses to the callings of the Holy Spirit. This past weekend found me in Trenton MO for two magic events and one Sunday morning message. Friday night was a youth rally; Sunday night a college Thanksgiving dinner.I recently wrote about celebrating our victories, so I wanted to share some things with you.The youth rally was sparsely attended but it is a ministry that is just getting started and is in a building...

Reflections
Posted on 22:21 by Unknown
It seems to me that it is so much easier to give criticism than it is to give praise. I'm not certain if it is because we're afraid that if we give away something good it diminishes us or if we feel that we would rather tear others down and make ourselves look better. I'm not talking about politicians. I'm talking people like you and me.Yeah, I'm guilty. I try not to be too negative or judgmental, but it happens. I have had friends that have called me on it and it's not an easy pill to swallow. Sometimes I see it myself, but by then it's...

Not Your Typical Saturday
Posted on 12:59 by Unknown
I'm not too sure of what a typical Saturday actually looks like; I'm just pretty sure this isn't it.I woke up with a bit of a headache this morning and so I closed my eyes to catch a few more moments of sleep before facing the day. A couple of hours later(!) I woke up feeling better but missing a meeting that I had wanted to attend. Rats!Chris made coffee for me -- that definitely qualifies the day as a special day! Thanks, Chris. It was very good!We took our time getting around and then went to Hopedale's WMU bazaar. Chris went with the idea of...
