Can’t wait for tonight…
Jenny and the kids have been gone since Tuesday and get back tonight. After just preaching three times and feeling totally drained, I still have to prep for a memorial service I’m doing tonight and visit one of our support staff who is in the hospital…so I might not even get to be home when they get there…but I will get there in time to see them tonight. Having the house to myself is only good for about one day for me. After that, I hate being there alone.
I also couldn’t wait for today because our “Pause” series is over. I’m really glad we did it, but also glad it’s done. For some reason it felt “heavy” to me and I think to our church. Of course, temptation/sin are never the most encouraging topics to teach on. The feedback from people identifying with the series always makes it worth it. I met some first-timers after the last two services that seemed to connect well with things which is one of my most important “gauges” of our effectiveness.
Next Sunday we begin an intriguing series called “Things I Wish Jesus Never Said“. Can’t wait for that. For any Will Farrell/Ricky Bobby fans out there, we have a special treat for you on Sunday!!

I felt the same way preparing for my message this morning.
I was joking with Gordon and told him, “Why don’t I ever get asked to preach on joy or something?” =)
However, even though the sermon was on temptation, it was also on the power of God’s grace. (That’s always something to celebrate).
Welcome to the wonderful world of blogging!
