No Unwanted Anomalies

So what do you call worship. In my mind worship is anything you can do for our Lord and Savior Jesus. What I mean is when you are serving in the house of God on a Sunday. Yes everything you do to serve in His house I considers worship. So for those who view mixing sound is not worshiping I think you have it wrong, I think serving Jesus in all that you do in the His house you should consider that as your worship for the day, yes you can sing while mixing, just an added bonus. When the service has ended and you feel you have done an adequate job (meaning no complaints, no feedback, no unwanted anomalies) then you have successful worshiped in serving. Now even if there were anomalies you still were worshiping our Savior. I believe worship to be a heart attitude, if you go in to the Sunday and view that as a job and not for serving then you might need to check to see why you are donning this. There should be prep time when you are on for that particular event, what I mean is you should pray and seek God to give you wisdom and guidance for the day (not unlike the band on stage that you are mixing for).

Extraordinary Happiness

You and I are connected

in a way that goes beyond romance,

beyond friendship,

beyond what we've ever had before.

It has defied time, distance,

and changes in ourselves

and in our lives.

It has defied every explanation.

Except one:

Pure and simply, we're soul mates.

I can't explain, I just feel it.

It's there in the way my spirits lift

whenever we talk.

The sound of your voice brings me home,

in a way I can't explain.

It's in the delight I feel, when we laugh

at exactly the same things.

When I'm with you,

it's like a tiny piece of the universe

shifts into place.

A place it's supposed to be,

and all is right with the world.

These things and so many more,

that this is a once in a lifetime,

forever connection.

A connection that could only exist

between you and me.

And deep in my soul,

I know that our relationship

is a rare gift.

One that brings us

extraordinary happiness

all through our lives.

LIVE FOR HIM TODAY!

This is the secret of joy. We shall no longer strive for our own way; but commit ourselves, easily and simply, to God’s way, acquiesce in his will and in so doing find our peace. Evelyn Underhill

Wherefore David blessed the LORD before all the congregation: and David said, Blessed be thou, LORD God of Israel our father, for ever and ever. Thine, O LORD, is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is thine; thine is the kingdom, O LORD, and thou art exalted as head above all. Both riches and honour come of thee, and thou reignest over all; and in thine hand is power and might; and in thine hand it is to make great, and to give strength unto all. Now therefore, our God, we thank thee, and praise thy glorious name.

1 Chronicles 29:10-13 The King James Version

We all have an opportunity to bless the Lord in all that we do and all that we say. Give yourself a chance and Live for Him Today!

God Bless

THIS DAY IN HISTORY!

Well today is a Grand Day. It's Monday Morning, the weekend was busy but it was great!
So today begins another week, is it any ordinary week? I would say NOT. Today is a special day and this week is a special week. Starting off today we look back on  how our lives have changed. If we go back 23 years we can see a change in the leadership in our church, Pastor Dave Wells came on board, and yesterday Pastor Joel Wells takes the lead, wow an amazing 23 years and looking forward to what the furture holds. 

If we look back further what else happened today in years gone by? 
- The Soviet probe Venera 4 reaches Venus and becomes the first spacecraft to measure the atmosphere of another planet.

- A total lunar eclipse
These happened today in 1967.

- Pierre Trudeau (former Prime Minister  of Canada)
- Pam Dawber (Actress on Mork and Mindy)
- Chuck Swindoll (Preacher)
- Jean-Claude Van Damme (Actor)
- George C. Scott (Actor)
- Lorie LaVallee

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY WONDERFUL WIFE.
I LOVE YOU SO VERY MUCH!

Stand firm. Let nothing move you

Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.
1 Corinthians 15:58 The New International Version

There are many things in this world that come your way to sway  you. For example  you are driving and you get angry at the person in front of you (why?).

There is a big event happening at your church that the enemy doesn't want to happen. He will try anything to get in the way.

If we do what is said in I Corinthians and stand firm in our walk with the Lord your labour will not be in vain.

God Bless you

"I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser..."

Do you ever think that the world is passing you by? Do you ever wonder if just stopping and watching God's creation? Do you ever just let the wind caress your face as it goes by?
If you find that your are just too busy and don't have the time to express your gratitude towards the One who created you and everything around you, then perhaps its time to just sit back and enjoy what He has given us.

In John Jesus talks about He being the vine and how if we abide in Him.
1"I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser.
2"Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit, He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit, He prunes it so that it may bear more fruit.
3"You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you.
4"Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you unless you abide in Me.
5"I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing.
6"If anyone does not abide in Me, he is thrown away as a branch and dries up; and they gather them, and cast them into the fire and they are burned.
7"If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. 8"My Father is glorified by this, that you bear much fruit, and so prove to be My disciples.
9"Just as the Father has loved Me, I have also loved you; abide in My love.
10"If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love; just as I have kept My Father's commandments and abide in His love.
11"These things I have spoken to you so that My joy may be in you, and that your joy may be made full.

If we abide in Jesus then we might find ourselves appreciating what we have and the world around us more.
So the next time you are so busy or too busy remember that Jesus is your help. Keep looking at the beauty of the world that surrounds us.

God Bless you This day!
