Notes from church sermon

Hurry saps joy out of life. You dont enjoy life. Therefore, get down on knees and pray as a family

"Lord, teach us to number our days"
"Lord, relent, please have mercy on us"
It is about changing our attitude, not counting our days. Making wise use of the time we have. We are like new grass in the morning but withered grass in the evening.
Ps 90
God is angry at sin and sinners.

Wise families would do the math.
   In vain you rise up early and stay up late...Get rest. Enjoy sleeping. He gives sleep to those whom He loves.
   Enjoy eating. Good food. Don't hurry.
Discover the one thing that really matters...Love God and your neighboor as yourself....because nothing in this life that you do will matter, unless you love God. Whatever you do, do for the glory of God. Run everything through this "pipe". We were made to magnify God.

Are you teaching your children to feed on the Word of God?
How do you spend your time and money? Teach your kids the importance of loving and serving.
Wise families will let go of clutter, the stuff that keeps them from doing the important thing.

Declare war on hurry! Ruthlessly eliminate hurry from your life.

Its not what you do, but why or for whom you do it.

You have trouble in your life to humble you and test you. Live not by bread alone but by every Word proceeding out of the mouth of God.

To work on time

I had the intention of leaving to work on time this morning, but I left late because the freezing rain last night froze my door shut, and windows required heavy scraping. I was able to get in the car after some prying, and scraped a "hole" big enough to see ahead of me through the windshield (not best practice). After asking the Lord for help in getting to work on time, I arrived safely, and with a minute to spare :) Praise God!

I no longer make the best fried fish

Last night for dinner I made some fried fish. Aliza said it is the best fried fish. This morning, it is the first thing she said also, "Daddy, you make the best fried fish". I hugged her, and we went downstairs. It's Monday, so I'm getting some things ready before I head out the door, and she asked for some chocolate covered pretzels...I gave her a couple and she cries out for more. When I denied her request for more, she cries and yells "You don't make the best fried fish!"

Update

Much happened since the last 3 months, and I should have kept up with posting updates, but I was lazy. I'm sorry. I'm going to mention one marvelous testimony for now. On October 13, I went to see a doctor for the results of a test a week prior. Since a few months before then, I felt shortness of breath and chest discomfort, and that's why I went to the doc in the first place. So, on the 13th, doc said I had class 1 heart failure, outputting 35% of blood. I was put on meds, and began praying for healing. I prayed with my wife, I prayed with the prayer team at church, and believed I would be healed, though often the devil lied to me with doubt that it would not happen. This past Friday, Nov 6th, however, I went in for an angiograph, to see if the coronary arteries were part of the issue. After the test, the doctor stated that the heart was beating just fine, without problems! God's timing is perfect!
