This, IMHO, is as good as they come. A favorite genre done by the great names. How many of these performers can you identify?
How Blue Can You Get?
What year do you think this is? (I don't know.)
Sunday night, and you can guess how the preacher feels.
I'm coming down with a cold and didn't sleep real well last night. During several periods of laying there awake I prayed about church this morning, specifically that God would send us a visitor. Repeated that prayer on the way in this morning. As great a group as these initial attenders are, none of us took this step for ourselves. We did it in the belief that God wants us to establish a Bible church in the west valley, a place where Christians grow in the faith through the preaching and teaching of God's Word.
That may help you understand my reaction when Shannon came in and told me that Jeff and Brandi were coming this morning.
I believe God is sovereign. I am sure that Jeff & Brandie had plans to attend Pathway earlier in the week. But I also believes God answers prayer, including the prayers of a pastor awake in the middle of a Saturday night.
FYI, the archetype for that dynamic is Elijah's conflict with King Ahab and the prophets of Baal. Compare 1 Kings 18:1, where God announces to Elijah that after a 3-year drought it will rain, with James 5:17 where we read that the rain came as a direct result of Elijah's prayer, a prayer that came after God's pronouncement. So did it rain because God decreed it or because Elijah prayed for it?
A: yes.
We had three submissions for the name of our second hour, and the winner (envelope please) is..
Foundations!
That name is consistent with our commitment: the Bible is the foundation of the Christian's spiritual growth, and our second hour is all about learning God's Word. So, Todd & Shannon will be getting a special dessert from the kitchen of one of the southwest's greatest dessert chefs: Pam MacDonald.
You haven't lived until you've tasted Mystery Pudding, a family recipe passed down from the greatest MacDonald cook of them all...my mom!
Did you read the story out of Australia? This guy goes over to his father-in-law's place to help him "tiddy up" the yard. In the process he tries to move a 40 gallon drum but it's heavy. So he opens it up. Inside he finds his mother-in-law, who has been in there for...
23 years!
The old man told his kids she ran off with a truck driver, but it turns out he murdered her and stuck her in the barrel.
It's one thing to be a pack rat, but good grief - you'd think he'd remember to get rid of that barrel!
Kentucky: five million people, fifteen last names.
