Skydiving with my son Smith #ShutUpAndJump

This morning I heard an invitation from Psalm 62:8 - “Pour out your heart before God.” So, I did. I wrote an entire page by hand of how I feel, what I long for, and what’s going on in my heart. It felt good. And then I ended with Psalm 62:5 - “I wait in hope on You.”

The voice of one crying in the wilderness: “Prepare the way of the Lord, make His paths straight.” ~ Luke 3:4

I want to be like John the Baptist and help prepare the way for Jesus in other people’s lives. The question is: Am I willing to experience the wilderness like JB did?

I learned this from @MelissaLFisher As a believer I might have a truck load of truth to share with a not-yet-believing person, but I must build a loving relationship (bridge) that is strong enough so that truth can be received.

When I eat a rack of ribs, I only eat ribs number 1, 2, 3, 5, 7 and 11.

I prefer a prime rib. 😎

It’s too bad that COVID-19 didn’t start in Las Vegas…

…because what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. 😎

“While the plague was raging ... what a comfort it was to feel that we were in the hands of a loving Father ... whether we were smitten with the epidemic or not ... we knew it would be well with us, that there was no reason to be alarmed.” ~ FJ Grimké on Spanish Flu 1918 #FYFWH

“Christ's resurrection not only gives you hope for the future; it gives you hope to handle your scars right now.” ~ Tim Keller #FillYourFeedWithHope

[Jim Leggett @PastorJimQuote]

The mission field is enormous, and the number of people sharing their faith with them is few, therefore we should...
(a) work hard to share our faith;
(b) work hard to get others to share their faith; or
(c) pray.

Jesus’ first answer was (c) ~ Luke 10:2

It’s very important to have your preferences accommodated in the worship service . . .
