Comfort Zone
I accepted Jesus Christ as my Saviour as a child. And of course through my teen and young adult life, I tried to live life on my own. I thought I had all the answers. God quickly taught me that it's impossible to live life with out Him. In the last couple of years, I have developed an even closer walk with God. I find my heart longing to be used more of God than before. You see for long I had become comfortable with my Christian walk. I went to church every week, sang on the vocal team, worked a few discipleship walks, you get the picture. But these were all things that were in my comfort zone. In these last two years, even the last few months, I have felt Gods call on my life to adventure outside my comfort zone. I believe that God is calling me into the ministry. I believe that through all of these years of training and preparation, even at the ripe age of 44, that God is ready to use me. I'm ready! I believe that God has called me not only to use the gift of song, but to share from His word and my heart. Please keep Connie and I in your prayers as we take off on this new adventure.

Holy Thursday
During the Easter season we remember Good Friday, the day Christ was crucified. And Easter Sunday, or Resurrection morning the day Christ rose from the grave. But we often forget about Holy Thursday. This was the day before Christ was arrested, tried and put to death. This was the night that Christ shared with His disciples that He would be leaving, going to a place where they couldn't go for now. That one would betray Him. That he would be put to death, yet be raised on the third day. He shared with them, one last meal. He took the bread and broke it, and gave it to them saying, "This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me". And in the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you. Do this in remembrance of me". "For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lords death until He comes". Its through these words, through these symbols that we should remember the ultimate sacrafice Christ made for us. He willingly gave of himself so that we wouldn't have to die for our own sins. Take some time to day and thank God for this AWESOME gift of love, and remember.
