Miscellaneous Thoughts

Okay, okay...I know it's been almost a month since my last blog, but I'll get back to an "almost daily" posting. They may be short, but they'll be there.

Anyway, I want to praise the Lord for His goodness, for His kindness. Through the up times and down times, He remains faithfully present. I wouldn't trade my relationship to Christ for anything.

DiscipleNow weekend was great. There were some decisions made, but decisions don't tell the whole story. I was impressed by the number of teens that participated. I was equally impressed with the host homes, teachers and food preparers and other helpers. Everyone was really into ministering to these young people. Darin did a great job organizing and facilitating the event.

The "Still Building for Kingdom Growth" campaign is going great. People are getting on board. And giving has already increased -- even before the campaign commitments in April. Revivival and giving have always gone together.

My family is grateful for the many expressions of love and comfort we've received since my father's death in January. The good thing is that it is the only death He will ever have to suffer. From now on it's life forever. We will miss this temporary separation until the Day of the Lord!

Live for Jesus, that's what matters.
