Have a Big Day

Yesterday was a great day! I got up in the morning and got ready for church and Janelle made my breakfast. I was a bit nervous because I was preaching yesterday. I don't usually get too nervous when I have to preach. I have been doing it for a few years now and most often just get the awareness of the responsibility nervousness but yesterday I was trying a new kind of sermon. I usually do expository deductive 3 point sermons as that is they style I have the most training in. It's a good and sound style that works. Yesterday however, I was a little apprehensive because I was doing a spiral inductive sermon. I am aware that right now some of you are scratching your heads and thinking, "I didn't even know there were different styles of sermons to begin with" hang with me. This is where the point of the sermon doesn't become clear until the end. Anyways, I felt that it went well. Much greater than that, two youth came forward at the end of the service to express a desire to have a saving relationship with Jesus Christ. What could be more exciting?

Then I went home and had lunch and slept most of the afternoon visiting. It was a big day and I thank God for it.

A lot of people ask me what I mean by "Have a BIG day!" This is a good example - I hope your day today was as good as mine!

Have a Big Day!

Look At Me Go!

Well folks, I am officially on the internet for the summer... I think... I hope. I'm pretty sure this time because I had a guy who does it for a living come and get me hooked up. So all is well.

In addition I am learning how to do some of this internet stuff. For a guy as young as I am, I really don't know very much about computers and such but I am learning. I just put up a post on The "X" blog that has links on it and they actually work! Look at me go.

I guess the way things really work is whatever you spend time on is what you will be good at and what you will be knowledgeable about. So you spend time on computers, you will get better at it. If you spend time on your hockey skills, you will get better at it and if you spend time on your pie-eating skills you will get better at it. The same concept applies with God's word. The more time you spend in the Bible the better you will know it and be able to use it. The question of the day is: What do you spend time on?

Cause X Marks The Spot

A recent comment has inquired about what the "X" is. The "X" is the youth group at the Burtt's Corner Church of Christ. It is a weekly meeting on Monday nights where we hang out, talk, sing, do the beaver dance, learn about God, make fun of each other, eat food, play Parcheesi and other interesting things you would have to see to believe!

I have actually just set up a blog for the X so if you feel so inclined to check it out then feel free to do so!

Almost There

Well folks I had internet for a few days back in May and then we got High Speed but of course I don't make smooth transitions when it comes to this kind of stuff... ever. So I now have access to a computer that has the internet but I still don't have it on my notebook. But I should tonight and if I don't well... I guess you and I won't be all that surprised. Anyways, I think I am almost there.

In other news, I am going to see the power team tonight. They are this team of huge guys picking up heavy stuff and breaking ball bats over there knees and chewing up nails and so on, all with a spiritual connotation of some sort. I should be good, I'm looking forward to it.

Wow this post is pretty boring... I must be getting rusty.

Better post later
