Togetherness

There is something special about just being with family. As I was driving home yesterday I don't think that I could have gotten there fast enough. I was so excited about being with my family. We were standing around the table holding hands praying for the meal that was so great. Togetherness, I don't even know if that is a word but i like it. There is always something about being with you family.. Togetherness!!!

cold huh???

So last night as i was leaving the church I realized that it was getting cold. I woke up this morning again it was 30 degree. That is crazy. Houston and 30 degree don't normally go together. I guess we are getting in the Christmas spirit. The only thing we need is some snow and we will be doing great. Happy Christmas!!!

The weekend!!

Welp, the weekend has came and gone. We had a Christmas party for our sunday morning program.
Attendance was above average.
Volunteers was below average.
It was overall a great Christmas party.
Jessica did a great job putting everything together. Its great to have a team to work with. The Christmas party was a great event to end the year of middle school ministry. Sunday afternoon we went and did a service project and that was a blast. I know that our kids loved it. We are done with Sunday morning in middle school for 2007.

What are you practicing? (part2)

Silence

“Even a fool is thought wise if he keeps silent, and discerning
if he holds his tongue” Proverbs 17:28

I think in the world that we live in is extremely loud and crazy, and there is
always a ton going on. We often forget silence. Take sometime and go to a
place where there is no one and just seek God's voice and listen to him. The silence can reveal his plans for you...

Prayer

“After they prayed, the place where they were meeting was shaken. And they
were all filled with the Holy Spirit and boldly the word of God” Act. 4:31

I think of the fact that we have to remember to pray, to talk to God. Daily, I am
reminded of how powerful pray is. When we look at the world that we live in we see that it
uses communication a lot. Last week I got my cell phone bill and I noticed I
talked over 3000 min. or 50 hrs. That is unbelievable! I quickly professed my shock and in the same
breath I asked myself "How much did I talk to God?" We should always be reminded of the power of prayer and how important it is to take time to speak to God.
In James it said like this “ The prayer of a righteous man is
powerful and effective.” James 5:16b
