Single Focus

I dont know if you are a big blog reader, but John Pearson’s is a good one.  I thought this was especially good about Focus and Concentration.  Tell me what you think.

Well, you probably have figured out that I am experimenting with this
blog. That could explain why you may have gotten a bunch of
duplicate emails in your inbox the other day.

Well, hopefully that is all over. You should get, at most, one email
a day now with the days posts on the blog.

Hey, its your blog! Comment and write away! Its all open, I made it
that way on purpose.

I figure, why write something no one will read?

Well, yesterday was a good day. We had 8 in the class and Ryan came
in newly-graduated from High school. He is wanting to go into the
Air Force in just about a month or two and is already making plans to
do that, so be in prayer for him and lets make it a good couple of
months for him.

Also, Robert really did a good job teaching on commitment and how
Israel said that they were going to obey with their mouths in Joshua,
but really failed miserably when it came down to it in Judges. So, I
hope we will start to be more committed this week.

And I was glad to see Joel around. We all went out before and after
church and it was pretty fun. Melissa spent the weekend in North
Carolina with a friend, but should already be back by now. Watch out
for them. They are sly-trickster-slick salesmen, and if you let them
talk to you, you are going to end up with a security system for your
lawnmower. They are good. Too bad they are leaving at the end of
the summer. Maybe we can get them to stay.

I hope you are all excited about what God is doing and wants to do
with us. God is already starting to bless so I pray that you will
keep coming and working and learning. God has some amazing things
for us…..just wait, you'll see.

Well, I am excited about all that is going on. Today the teens had a
big garage sale to raise money for their missions trip to Peru in
just a few weeks and the whole church was buzzing all day.

A couple of us went to invite people to the church and probably
invited over 100 or more just with the people i was with. Then I
went to try to eat sushi, but it was closed. Now, we are getting
ready for tomorrow, the vacation Bible school coming up, and trying
to think of ways to allow more people to hear the gospel through us.

Tomorrow, should be exciting. Robert will be teaching the class and
I know he will do a great job. Somebody will tell a little about
Kyrgyzstan, and we will find out some of the things going on this
week. I hope you will make sure you are there for it.

We should have a few people that havent been with us before in our
class, so considering all this, it should be a great day coming. Be
praying and working and we will see you in the morning!

Well, I never use this blog, but I think I am going to try to start.

We had a Bible Study last night and had a good time with some good
discussion about the promises and direction that God gives us through
His Word and then invites us to test Him out. Pretty amazing but can
get scary some times. Just make sure you are really acting on a
promise that is in the Bible and not a promise that you pulled out of
your hat.

Sunday we talked about the partnership of the Holy Spirit and the
Bible in our lives to work the work that God wants done. Often we
will read the Bible and ignore the Holy Spirit, or, never read the
Bible and expect the Holy Spirit to guide us, but He doesnt work like
that. So, this week, read your Bibles and be sensitive to what the
Holy Spirit is working in your life through it!

How have you seen God motivate you to holiness and service?
