"You are as much serving God in looking after your own children, and training them up in God's fear, and minding the house, and making your household a church for God, as you would be if you had been called to lead an army to battle for the Lord of hosts."
~Charles Spurgeon

Busy Bees

What a busy weekend we've had. It was jam packed with Youth Ministry events. For over a month now Jennie, Liz, Janine M. and I have been planning our 2nd Spaghetti Feed fundraiser for our Youth Ministry. So Friday night was set up of the tables, Saturday morning at 7:10 am was our Discipleship meeting (that we ended up not being able to go), then we had staff meeting at our house, then Saturday afternoon til the evening was filming for our annual Movie Night. Of course when Sunday came we had service then the Spaghetti Feed. So you can imagine when we got home Sunday afternoon we were wiped out. But you know what? Since Al and I are on staff break, this weekend was a wonderful reminder of our purpose here. We here to give up of ourselves (which includes our time) to serve our Lord. Al and I got to talking after everything slowed down and said, "What a great weekend!" What an honor it is to serve our King!

HI Chone,
Man! It was a crazy weekend! But, when the time came it wasn't that stressful! Thanks for letting me help with the Spaghetti Feed, it was a good challenge. Praise God that it was a success! Take care

Thank you, Jennie for being my right hand! Your willingness to do anything was exactly what I prayed for. You can be my wingman anytime!

Psalm 116: 1-9

I love the LORD, for he heard my voice;
he heard my cry for mercy.

Because he turned his ear to me,
I will call on him as long as I live.

The cords of death entangled me,
the anguish of the grave came upon me;
I was overcome by trouble and sorrow.

Then I called on the name of the LORD :
"O LORD, save me!"

The LORD is gracious and righteous;
our God is full of compassion.

The LORD protects the simplehearted;
when I was in great need, he saved me.

Be at rest once more, O my soul,
for the LORD has been good to you.

For you, O LORD, have delivered my soul from death,
my eyes from tears,
my feet from stumbling,

that I may walk before the LORD
in the land of the living.
