Hello

Well, here we are! This is the official Christmas season! I am so happy! This is my favorite time of year even when there is no money! I will tell you why. Because the focus of the season turns back to Christ! Jesus created us to be apart of His family. And if he was never born then we would not be able to be apart of his family. That is why I love this time of year. I am so thankful for Jesus birth, death and ressurection. I am also happy as the focus turns to family. I love family. I really love having my own family...Sam, Kibwe, and myself!! But I also love spending time with Sam's and my parents. Being with family in this season reminds me of how important it is to have a church family that cares and loves you. I am so glad that at New Life we have that exact kind of family. I am also thankful that in Christ we have that family all over the world! Many blessings to you this Christmas season. See Jesus in every aspect this year!!

Thanksgiving week!

Well here we are! Thanksgiving 2008 already! Time is flying. I just want to wish everyone a very happy Thanksgiving week and remember how thankful we need to be because of what Jesus has done for us! Praise God. I hope that you can see many things to be thankful for this week. I am thankful for first of all Jesus and his sacrifice for my sin! I am also very thankful for my beautiful wife. I am thankful for a loving and determined church. I am thankful for my family and for my in-law side family. God is so good. Have a fantastic week!

Friday Post 11.21.08

Welcome to the Friday Post.

It has been a crazy past few weeks! I was very sick last week so I had time to kind of relax and think about the upcoming holiday/CHRISTMAS season. I am preparing for the craziness that will ensue. But I was just wondering, what are your schedules looking like this Christmas season? Are you making sure you are making time for God first? Are you putting His desires and His will before your own. Or are you getting caught up in the commercialism of the season? I am reminded especially with the crumbling economy, that this season is not about getting more stuff, but rather giving more of yourself to God and His work. You may be wondering what can you give... well... time, talent, and treasure! Give the very best to God that he may be able to use your gifts for His glory and that people may know that you are followers of Jesus! Praise Jesus for the wonderful gift of Himself for our sins. When this world ends, all that will remain is God and His kingdom! Keep that in mind as you celebrate Jesus this Christmas season!
