RUMORS...AGAIN

Don"t ya just love what we can hear through the famous "grapevine". I got a phone call last evening from a board member in the Church I pastor (www.crosspointwlr.com) He is a great guy. He wanted me to be aware that someone called him, (someone who used to be a member here 12 years ago LOL!!!!!!), and heard through the wonderful grapevine that CrossPoint Church had filed for bankruptcy! Wow! Well, our Church does not have millions in the bank, but we are far from that statement. I love it. We are a healthy Church that has some awesome people who give faithfully, but you have some "concerned" person wanting to confirm the fate of CrossPoint.... and he has not given a dime in over 12 years!! Yes, I was fired up about it at first! Now? well I still am. Why didn't he just freakin call and or send some money insted of feeding the rumor! LOL. I love rumors, when they are about me.... its water off my back. Mess with my family or the good name of CPC, well the old testament wrath just might "mana-fest!" Hmmmm, O wonder what grape vine juice tastes like? Probebly like the water that God puked out of his mouth in the Book of Revelation. Just a Thought..............

PRESSURE

I remember when I was a kid my Grandma making tea. I would watch as the steam would slowly roll off of the release valve. Then, it would happen. I would run for cover and cover my ears! All of the sudden that little bitty tea kettel would blow out a whisteling sound that scared me to no ends. But, oh man Grandma's tea was good! Such is life. To be honest I feel like I just want to run for cover and hold my ears. in the Bible paul said, "we are pressed but not crushed." Well I feel like (even though I'm not) I am crushed. Pressure is for a purpose. Its in the "press" that we are molded, tried and made tender by the Holy Spirit. Life is not fair, yet, God is good! Tea any one? Just a thought...........
