Moving to Kelso High School 6-24-07

The week of our move has arrived, Everyone is invited to join us in the newly remodeled Kelso High school. Service will start at 11:00, plan to come early at 8:00 am to help us set-up and enjoy the time to build relationships with great people, while we set the stage for great worship and a study on what the rules of LasVegas have to do with walking our christian walk.

Day in Court

Wow,

I experienced a first this week. I have been called in for jury duty only three times in my life, this week was the first time that I was actually selected for the jury. I have to say that I learned a lot about people and how they function. Some good and some that are very hard to swallow. The most aggravating thing was how their lawyer would use tactics to get the case dropped or sway our judgement even though he himself knew they were guilty, as they say beyond a shadow of dought. What really fascinated me in the end was that 12 people from all walks of life, Christian and heathen could reach a decision of guilty in less than 30 minutes of deliberation.

The other thing was how 12 people going through the three day process bonded together. We could learn from the experience for small group gatherings. Because we were not allowed to talk about the case to any body for two days we talked about all kinds of things in our life like how many times we got into trouble with the law. I sure hope nobody had a recording device. I wonder if this might just might be the reason why God hasn't sold my home in Clark County?

Well I'm glad its all settled and I can spend the afternoon at the car show. If you get this soon enough come on down. Their are some great machines here.

We are moving across the River

Keep praying we are finalising the deal on renting Kelso High School for starting the weekend of June 24 . What an exciting time as we keep knocking on doors and waiting on God to move in the hearts and minds of the leaders in Cowlitz County.

This week I have been very inspired by our guest speaker Ron. If a guy can have his attitude under his circumstances, why do I ever even come close to grumbling about my situation?
Then I was slapped again this morning as I read in (Numbers 20) about the nation of Israel in the wilderness. The Israelites were thirsty and grumbling about how Moses had brought them into the wilderness to die. They forgot that they made the choice not to go into the promised land and they also for got that God fed them with manna every morning and that their sandals never wore out. Well the story goes on as the attitude rubs off on Moses and he strikes the rock twice rather than speak to the rock like God had instructed. Well think about that? Attitude plays a very big role in Gods economy. Moses didn't get to go into the promise land because of his attitude and neither did the more than one million Israelites. Are you getting the picture? Attitude is really one of the main things with God. Remember we can't always change our circumstance but we can be the master of our attitude.

My prayer for you today is that you will have an attitude of gratitude no matter what the conditions.
