You know you are in trouble when you walk into a Subway with a help wanted sign on the door. Then when you see 8 people in front of you, then you know this is serious. Then when you hear the multiple orders of "12" subs, toasted with four different melted cheese, you know you will never get back to work , at least today.
Suddenly, I am trying to recall every sermon Pastor Claude has spoken about patience. All those Bible scriptures and positive sayings that I have memorized seem to fade away as rage begins to infiltrate my body.
As flames are coming out of my nostrils, I look up and guess who is coming through the door, my Pastor, with that happy, friendly smile on his face. He greets me like he always does, with a smile and " I am so glad to see you". The he proceeds to tell me that this worked out, because I was on his mind and since the line was so long, we could visit.
Well, I hadn't look at it like that , but whatever. I must say it was good to have a cheerful talk with him, between orders. I left feeling better than when I came, maybe just like when I go to church.
As I left, Pastor said, I guess, " All things do work together for good, don't they. I had to agree.

Technology is great isn’t? Texting, tweeting, face book, IPods, I pads, kindles, smart phones are
great ways to communicate.
When I am with a friend, who I really want to communicate with,
I really like a face to face conversion with them. Have you ever been excited about sharing with
a friend and finally you get together and they can’t stop texting or tweeting to someone else while you are trying to converse with them. What a disappointing time.
I begin to think about how Jesus who’s ministry was a positive, aggressive ministry of energy. He was and is not interesting enough for some people to stop and take time to communicate with Him through prayer, Bible reading or church attendance. People say they can’t see God. Well, they can’t see the person they are texting either. I know He is always trying to get my
attention. Sometimes I think God is in heaven waving His nailed scarred hands, saying
"please pay attention to me , I just want to be your friend" .
Well, as I am waving to my friend who is sitting across fromme “saying be my friend and talk to me”, I know God is waving and cheering me on and saying “‘I am a Friend who sticks closer than any brother’ come and communicate with me a little while.”
I guess I will text my friend and ask her if she would come church with me to Eastpoint Family Church Sunday.

I don't know about you, but I need to lose 20 lbs. I have purposed in my mind to stop drinking so much diet coke , eating less bread, and limiting the desserts. My desire is so strong , I am going to stick with it, or as Pastor would say "God Willing".
When reading God's Word, I came to Romans 8:28 " And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose."
I know God wants me healthy because He wants to work good through me, but I had to stop and think about what the Word says about "His PURPOSE". You mean, I can't rule my own life, He has a PURPOSE for me. If that is the case, I want to PURPOSE or and desire to read God's word and pray more so I can know what God's PURPOSE for me.
It doesn't hurt, to go to church too. There I can may get a nugget of TRUTH to help me with the PURPOSE HE has for me.
Well, God willing, pounds will start coming off and I will start learning more from God's word about the PURPOSE HE has for me. Do you need to join me?
