Sunday Recap

  • Great to be at church today. I was pumped about the message.
  • Spoke on God's omniscience from Romans 11:33 - 12:2. Just reiterating one point. The opening line is "O the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God." God's wisdom enriches our lives and is better than an endless supply of money. Most people think that most of their problems would be solved if they had more money. I sometimes fall into that trap. We see money as an answer while God consistently exposes it as the problem. Jesus taught things such as how hard it is for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God, that it is the "deceitfulness of riches" that chokes the seed of the Gospel and keeps it from bearing fruit, that it competes for the lordship of your heart, that we should beware of all kinds of greed. The Bible further teaches that the love and desire for money is the "root of all evil." It's not only the problem but also the test. It tests who and what we are putting our faith in. Our lack of money causes us to turn to God while the overflow of reaches opens new challenges of obedience. God says that He is the answer and following Him enriches our lives.
  • Pattie went with our friend, Donna, to Daytona for the week. Its their opportunity to spend time together before we move. I don't like being away from my wife but I hope she has fun.
  • Went to see the Batman movie with Joe, Bob, and Monica this afternoon. It was very good. It was weird watching Heath Ledger knowing that he is dead now but his performance was incredible.
  • Hated that Greg Norman couldn't pull out a victory at the British Open.
  • Have a bus meeting tomorrow morning. I'm looking forward to it.
  • I'm ready to get on with our move to Colorado. I'm anxious to get started. I hate waiting for everything to get done before we can move. I pray everyday for a fast, generous buyer.
  • Its hotter that whooey!
