We just came back from vacation ,visiting Boston and surrounding islands. The ocean is so vast.
I begin to think how did Jesus ever walk on water and I don't blame Peter for being afraid of walking on the ocean. It was all in the matter of trust in Jesus that He would not let him drown.

Last Sunday, the children's Sunday School lesson was from John 21:1-17. Jesus saw that the disciples had been fishing all night without catching any fish. He yelled out from the shore and said "throw your nets on the right side of the boat". They questioned but obeyed. And yes, they got more fish then the nets could hold. I asked one of my students what if the disciples had thrown the net on the left side, what would of happened? Tai K. replied "then they wouldn't of caught any fish". It is all about obedience , isn't it?

This Sunday , Pastor will speaking to us from II Samuel 6:1-6 titling his message "The Fear of Foolishness". Some things what God ask use to do , may seem foolish. But He knows , after all he did create us.
Start coming on Sunday evening also, Pastor will be speaking on "Samuel the Boy". We have a great time of worship and learning from His Word.

See you at Eastpoint!

Well, it really happened. I went to Hyvee on Seniors Discount Day. I was hoping to say at the end of my purchases, this will be a Seniors discount. Before, I could utter those words, the middle aged clerk said, I gave you your Senior discount. It actually happened, she could tell I was a Senior. After the sudden sadness of reality, being over 60 is a good thing. Not everyone gets a 5 % discount on their groceries!
Then I thought there has to be a spiritual lesson to this. I wish someone could look at me and say, " I know she loves God" without asking me. Those that love God, love Jesus, who can rule and reign in their life. And not everyone has experienced him like I have.
So, I really have something, my 5% discount and Jesus in my heart. Eventually, those still living will be a Senior. Not everyone will accept Christ. My prayer is that God will allow me to show his love and the Jesus I have in my heart can become theirs too!

Pastor is speaking from Romans 12:1-3 this Sunday.
Verse 2 "Don't copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think."

Lord, change me to like you.

Hope everyone had a great Fourth of July. Our service at Eastpoint Sunday was wonderful.

I can't believe how hot it is here, can't wait until fall.

Oops, just found out the title of Pastor's sermon this Sunday. "Worshipper or Complainer".
Can't wait to hear that one!

Join me and see if maybe we can find out how to change our complaining to worshipping.
