Another trip and another tire...

Ok, so I don't know if this is a sign, but the fam and i are on the way to visit family for the holidays when we get a nail in one of our tires. Good thing we were near the Corvette Hall of Fame because we found a tire place that could patch it right quick!

Vacation has been great. Caught up with good friends. Visited my home church and reminded myself why I am the pastor I am today.

If you have this on RSS feed, be sure to visit my blog to see the latest books I've burned through. And yes, I did finally finish the Harry Potter series. Totally didn't end the way I thought it would.

Oh yeah, the best part of the vacation was watching Ohio State beat Michigan. Go Buckeyes!

Cya on the flip side...

Hug your musician

Bizarre event last week. Our organist played at both our Sunday morning church services. Then, 4 hours later I get a call from the hospital that she had died! She suffered a heart attack and there was nothing the paramedics nor hospital could do. Here's the hand of God in all of this: on that same day, she shared her testimony of faith in front of the congregation. One of the points she shared was that she knew that God wanted her to tell everyone that Jesus loves them. That was her mission. She said that God wouldn't take her until she told everyone that Jesus loves them. And then, 4 hours after she said that, God took her home!

Yesterday, we celebrated All Saint's Sunday and God certainly worked through our organist to show us the kind of faith we all are given.

Amazing
