MONDAY MORNING MEANDERING THOUGHTS



The Tigers are still alive ... finally beating the White Sox 5-3. Verlander's seven awesome innings were overshadowed by an 8th inning nightmare, but my boys held on. Can they keep going in the right direction on Tuesday against the Twins in the Metrodome at Minneaspolis?

Our youth ministry and its director threw a party Friday night to connect with the community kids. 45 kids showed up! Well over a dozen joined us in church Sunday morning as we offered a prayer consecration for his ministry.

One more commitment to being a "safe place" as a church ... hand sanitizers now positioned in our halfways especially outside the gym. THanks Pete for helping us remind the community that we care about the WHOLE person.

The Kingdom of God is like a box of crayons ... and the greater the diversity of the colors--the richer the tapestry of our witness to the world of God's life-changing power at work in the world.

The church exists not for its members, but to give its life in reaching those who are not yet part of God's kingdom.

Best comfort food in the world ... cold milk and powdered donuts.

We have a "rockin'" worship band. Don't you just love the trumpets?

Prayer empowers me to preach ... and my personal prayer is "May the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart be your words, O God, from your heart to your people."

Finally ... fall (autumn) rates at the golf course? Now I can spend less money to make a fool of myself. Thank you, Jesus!
