Changed the site name...

for awhile anyway. So keep an eye out to see if I change it back. Other than that, I do most of my updates on my Facebook page.

In life: Love my wife, anniversary in a few days (Aug 27th). Still in love, still dating her and she is my special someone.

In Faith: I really feel God is working on me. Been spending time reading and seeking Him. Looking forward to what He will show me and where he will take me. I feel sorry for the ones who haven't "experienced" God. Knowledge is great and all but I really believe that God wants relationship. Take time to listen.

In Work: Discovery Church is awesome. I get to spend time with some amazing people. Adults, Teens and Kids! Thank you all for making it such a great place to serve.

In Fun: Needing some time off to work on the Mustang: A car I am restoring for my brother.

Thats a quick update, nothing too deep.

The redeeming tide

Sitting on the beach in the early morning and all of yesterday's footprints and sand castles are gone. No sign or trace that they were ever here. No amount of offending footprints can withstand the redemptive power of the tide and the wind. Like our sins and the power of Jesus blood. Not a trace. To God, we are a smooth beach, a fresh canvas every day-every minute.

If God has wiped away our sins, why do we keep taking them back? It's one thing to sin but a another thing to let that forgiven sin beat us down and hold
Us back as if it wasn't forgiven. I pray that we can start seeing the redeeming blood of Jesus Christ like the tide and wind. As soon as the sand is disturbed, the beach goes to work restoring it. And it is always successful. The work is done, let start acting like it.

Have a Bible verse txt'd to you each day:

Click here and put in your info. A few others and myself get these. It is the same verse every day for a week. To help you memorize.

Blog from the swing

It's Saturday and there is a certain calm before the storm. A moment to breath. Please don't get me wrong, the storm that is coming is a great thing. It is out teen week at church. We call it CTO for Crosslink Take Over. They will do everything! Last year I was a huge part of the message and no, I am not a teen, tho I am a part of Crosslink. This year I have been kicked off of the stage. Two of my amazing teens want to deliver a message that God has laid on our hearts. Every time we meet to plan, I get more exited. This is a message that people need to hear, the music they will play and the food and greeting that will happen.

In addition to this amazing Sunday we will be selling lunch on the grounds to finalize our camp fundraiser. This will be a crazy next couple of weeks. We have a lot to do and I am not one who likes to give up control. Pray for out May 15th event: that God will speak though these kids, that the people will accept the message given them, that we will pull it all off and that God gets the credit for the whole thing.

So in order to better focus on listening to God: starting Monday, I will be logged off of Face Book until after the event. That's two weeks from tomorrow. This will be challenging form me since FB is the primary tool I use to communicate with the teens. Their post tell me how they are doing and even sometimes tell me what they need. I will not fast from loving them, they will just have to watch their phones for text and check there....wait for it...Emails!!! Who knows: maybe they will see a little something from me in the mail (check that box out by the road!).

I want to better at listening to God and recognizing His voice. I promise: they more you actually listen, the more you will hear.

So I am sitting here on my swing, in an amazing 72 degrees and a nice breeze. The dogs are playing, and wanting me to play and I am enjoying the calm before the storm.

Be in prayer, be listening and be at 621 W. Firetower Rd,Winterville, NC 28590 on May 15th at 10:10am.
