Back on Track

I decided after my last post that I would take a little vacation from blogging. I must admit that I missed it. It's nice to be able to unpack the thoughts that clutter my mind on a daily basis. In short, I missed you guys! Ok, that's enough of that. I mean, come on, this isn't the Oprah Winfrey Show. I'm not sitting here trying to make people cry, or throwing around my millions or dollars, or pushing my political agenda. Oops, did I say too much :)

I am excited to be blogging again because I get to tell you about our latest series for our youth group. I don't know how many of you have seen "Evan Almighty," but it's really a good movie. Clean humor with mild language (and I mean very mild), and it really presents a good point: we can change the world. Remarkably, we have to watch a movie based on a Biblical story to catch an idea that God has been trying to drill into our heads for years. Beginning this Wednesday, we are launching a year-long campaign to "Change the World." I cannot remember the last time that I was this excited about a series of messages. We're going to be exploring the "Sermon on the Mount" as we learn how Jesus felt about making a difference where we live. Our youth need to understand that they can make an enormous impact on society in the smallest of ways. I'm trying to include the promo video in the post, but our satelite internet service at the church stinks! Hey AT&T and Charter: it would be great if you guys would include Mt. Lebanon Church Rd. in "the digital age." Sorry. ADHD kicked-in. Anyway, if you're in the Blue Ridge area on Wednesday, stop in and join us for an amazing night!

I almost forgot to update everyone on Michelle. She's doing really well with the early stages of her pregnancy. There have been a couple of instances of nausea, but she hasn't been sick. THANK YOU JESUS! It's hard to believe that she only has a couple of more weeks until she begins her second trimester. Thanks to those of you who have been lifing her up in prayer, and please continue to do so. You can pray for me too. I'm really getting tired of cleaning-out the litter box. Labels:
