My Son

My wife told me something my son said. Sam is known for just saying funny off the wall things. I don't know where he gets these sort of things. Here is what he said.


"He just told me, "If God was a geenie in a bottle, I'd rub the bottle & when He came out, I'd ask Him for wisdom, a double portion of Elijah's life..........and a magic porthole!" "LOL! Is he all boy or what?"

That is my son.

Burden Part 3

Today I taught lesson 2 of 1 Thessalonians. It was about pleasing God and not pleasing man. About how Paul, Silas and Timothy lived with integrity among the Thessalonians. They lived with a desire to please God, not man.

Man is Fickle. Man can bless you in one moment and then curse you with the next breath. Pleasing man is a moving target. There is no end point.

The lesson seemed to be more for me than it did anyone else. We had a good discussion. So good, that we lost track of time and it was 10:28 when we quit. I hope they got something out of it.
