Weekend
Well where do I start? This weekend had everything from joy to work to pain to the point of asking God if there is more to come! Let me try and recap the best I can:
FRIDAY: Got together with some friends to see Fireproof. Great movie especially for anyone either currently in a marriage or [...]
The Sun is back!
What a difference a week makes! Last weekend I was ready to build an ark for safety and then this weekend we baked in the sun. The Car Wash was great especially after all the rain of last week. People were ready to get their cars cleaned up. The participation was incredible as our young [...]
District Fellowship
Yesterday I had the opportunity to attend our Chicago Region Council for the Assemblies of God. It is always refreshing and encouraging to meet up with friends and partners in the ministry. I am certainly encouraged about the new leadership that we have for this region. Ron Heitman is taking the lead as the executive [...]
Through the Flood
I have to admit that I was somewhat surprised by our attendance yesterday. Knowing that the whole region was having difficulty with the flooding I expected a really slim attendance and you all surprised me by coming out in great numbers anyway! I even had phone calls or e-mails from some saying that they could [...]
Where is the Rainbow?
I cannot believe the day we have had. I went to bed last night praying that my family would be safe from the monstrous Hurricane Ike, while not even imagining that we would need protection from the floods. We did not suffer from the torrential rain bands coming from the gulf, yet the rain here [...]
Fear Looms Over Scientist’s Experiment to Uncover Secrets of ‘Big Bang’
I found this article on Foxnews.com and just thought this might be the explanation that the world will need when the rapture occurs. So if the scientist is right we would begin experiencing really weird things in about 4 years from Wednesday! Get ready…I really think we will be seeing Jesus soon! I know it sounds crazy but [...]
Great Start
We began our new service schedule today and it really was great! Sunday School seems to have been well attended in all the age levels. I am simply amazed to see the level of great leaders we have that can step up and teach and lead. I was able to observe several of the classes [...]
Govenor Palin has Assembly of God roots!
Well as we start getting closer to the elections we find the media really reaching! It appears now that it is bad when a candidate prays for God’s will to be done in the current wars that we are involved in and for direction in large decisions. Governor Palin is being blasted by some for [...]
Incredible Weekend
All I can say is…WOW! This was the first cook-out where we actually ran out of food! I guess we really have grown and now we need to begin preparing for over 200. Sunday was our largest one service gathering! We had over 200 all in one place worshiping God together. I have to say [...]
