New Title

Last night I went to my precinct convention after the primary election. I had never been to one. Long story short I was elected as the precinct chairman. I am also going to be a delegate at the County Convention later in the month. I have always had an interest in things political. I do plan to run and hold an office someday. Probably nothing more than school board or city council. I have always felt a responsibility to be involved in the democratic process. I think as citizens we lose our right to grip when we don't take part.

Jesus' Stories - He said what?

This coming sunday I am going to start a new series about Jesus. My goal is to look at some of the more controversial things he said. Jesus said many things that left people scratching their heads. Even today we have a hard time processing what He said and what He meant.

Should be a fun journey.

Habbakukk

In Sunday school I am teaching through the book of Habbakukk. Why does bad stuff happen? Apparently there is more to our world than what we can see. Our short sited view of things can look very rough. But the less on of this prophet of God is that it is part of a master plan. God is not blind, deaf or ignorant to what is going on. He could be raising up the answer somewhere else. God told the prophet, look and be amazed becasue you will not believe what I am about to do.

In My life, in my short neart sighted view of things...I have to remember that God is orchestrating the solution somewhere. I need to do what the prophet did.....get in my tower and wait and see what the Lord will do. I need to also come to the same conclusion that he did...that what ever God does, He will be just in doing so.

Lord, I trust you in my life. May the rocks cry out that you are holy.
