Monday Morning Mantra

I had a great weekend. I got to baptize 4 people and bring them on as new Members for Riverstone Church. We had a good service and I was able to do some ministry to help someone. I know for a fact God has placed me here in my hometown because I the unique position of having grown up in this town and knowing people and their backgrounds. I believe that is why God spoke to me Joel 2:25-26 a few years ago when He called me to plant this church. "I will repay you for the years the locust have eaten -...You will have plenty to eat until you are full, and you will praise the name of the Lord your God, who has worked wonders for you..."

I have that feeling that I used to get when I would get out of school on Christmas break. Do you remember that feeling? Expectancy, freedom, joy. Well I feel that way, probably because we have our Christmas break at the church. Taking a week off for all our volunteers to get a break and relax with their families. It also gives me a break to decompress, review, revamp and revision. I hope to get some much needed thinking and praying time in this week and next week.

I'm looking forward to Christmas. We are going down to my In-laws in Manchester for x-mas eve and coming back so that the kids can wake up in their own beds and run downstairs to open presents. But we are going to take time to thank God for sending us the ultimate gift: Jesus. And then we will tear into our gifts under the tree.

Is it me or is eggnog the best drink around? Lisa is picking up some vanilla eggnog for Christmas day. Yeah boy.

I hope you all have a great Christmas and a Happy New Year.
