still trying

I wonder how many failures it took before Michael Jorden to perfect his untouchable famous fade-away shot? I wonder how many times it took Tiger to perfect his shot before he could make "the shot"?

From what I read, it took znd takes thousands of hours of practice and failure.

How many wild anamils did the sheppard David miss as his flock was devoured?

How many Christians where killed befor Paul encountered Jesus?

How may times did beter eat foot fungus befor he could prech with oldness on the day of Pentecost?

How many times has it, or is still taking you, to be where you know God wants you?

For me? after 29 years of marriage, 19 yeaers of speaking, yeaching and communicating the Gospel and nearly a life time of stupid failures I have learned this..........I am still trying.

Even if I limp, crawl, roll and cry I am still trying!

What about you, what about you, are you still trying?

Earlier Video editing

Here is a video that we did a couple of months ago at CPC. The editing is NOT good, but I just wanted to get it up. More to come (that has much better editing!)

Perception

We are all guilty of judging, right? We see someone in a big house and think, man they MUST be loaded. We see someone driving a new Lexis and think, " must be nice". Or maybe we think, "I bet those people are in to major debt.

Perception. It is a dangerous thing. It is what we perceive, believe and then count as fact about an issue or issues. I have done it many times.

My perception of the Cross.....

My perception of "religion".....

My perception of "the good ole days".....

My perception of the future Church.....

Basically what I am trying to say is, I might just be wrong. The cross was probably a lot more brutal than I could ever perceive.

Other religions, (not cults) but ones that do not practice the same methods that I do as a pentecostal (Assemblies of God), are probably doing great things for Jesus way beyond what I perceive.

The good ole days are probably not just old fashioned ways of older people, they are probably a very strong and vibrant Church that wants to join hands with the Church of today.

The future Church? They are probably not some whacked out unprincipled, new age movement. They are probably a new up and coming generation that wants to join hands with us and the Church of the past.

Perception......

What is yours? Are you sure that is the right one?

Blogs

In case you don't read the blog of Pete Wilson from Cross Point Church in Nashville, Tn. THIS is a must read!

That's too many numbers!!!!!

I love Kids! They say exactly what they are thinking. Today while driving the bus I was listing to a 1st grader debate with a pre-Ker.
They where talking about what size of a Kawola bear they would have as a pet.

The pre-Ker said billions, and billions, and billions, and billions, and billions, and billions.......etc... for about 30 seconds. Then the 1st grader interrupted and said, "that's too many numbers... they go past the line!" I am assuming he meant the margin line on notebook paper.

Silence.....

Then the 1st grader used his higher education to trumped his lil sister. He said, "Infinity!"

Debate over.

Satan hates your guts and my guts billions, and billions, and billions, and billions.....etc...

But God Loves you......

Infinity!!

Debate over!
