Pastor's Corner

Greetings to you in the name of Jesus; our Lord and Savior. I hope you had a great weekend.  I am a firm believer in practicing what I preach. As many of you may know, Nancy and I are still in the middle of unpacking as we continue to move from Bucklin to Bethany. I estimate we have unpacked at least seventy-five percent of the stuff we need to function as a household, but we are far from done. One small victory was getting some yard work done so I could mow the yard without running into any low hanging tree branches. Another small victory was getting the garage mostly arranged so I could park one vehicle inside if we were to have a hail storm.  As you know, small victories help us feel as we are in control of at least some aspects of our daily work. This past Sunday, I practiced what I preached. I enjoyed a Sabbath rest. I put aside the demands of unpacking and instead enjoyed an afternoon of snoozing, visiting with family and friends, and a Cardinals baseball game Sunday evening on ESPN.  Finally my Cardinals won one game with the Cubs, in extra innings.  Today I feel as if I gave myself the needed spiritual rest the Sabbath was created for.  Monday starts a new week, and for me this is a new routine to build, create, , rethink, discern, re-image  and discover.  I hope to use my time wisely. John Wesley recommended ministers not to linger any longer than necessary in one location so as to be about the Lord’s work. I believe Kingdom building is a great calling each of us to be about on a daily basis. I pray that you enjoy a great week of kingdom building.

                                    Grace and Peace to you
