The Rev. and his beautiful wifey

Here’s a new pic of me and the mrs. for our church directory. Looks like a preacher and his wife, huh?

LOL

Have a WONDERFUL weekend! It’s finally cleared off here and the sun is shining! WOOHOO!!

Rain Rain, Go Away….

Ever have one of those days when you feel like just crawling back into bed and saying, “Aw, heck with it?”

Well, today is ONE of those days. It’s dreary outside; the rain is steadily drumming down. The constant drone is enough to put you to sleep. NOT a good thing when you’re trying to write.

Lots to do this weekend; mainly, working on websites and trying to do some much needed gardening, IF the weather clears up. I will never be so glad to see summer get here, even with the hot weather. This rain is for the birds. We need it and thank God for it…but, ya know, enough already, Lord. Please!

Here’s hoping you and yours have a blessed weekend! Stay safe.

I Know, I Know….

Here it is Thursday, and my last entry was almost a week ago. Oops.

No excuses, just being busy as always. Last week of the month is always the worst; seems like all of my meetings fall during this week, and with Community Chorus practices every Thursday night, and church on Wednesday….well, this week has been HECTIC.

Spring usually means rain and severe weather in the good ol’ Midwest; this week has been no exception. Got cloudy yesterday; weatherman says we won’t see the sun until Sunday. Fun, fun. Makes me contemplate a move to the desert.

Turned the monthly column in this morning; I procrastinated this month because I am writing about my mom, and there is so much to say in a short space. I pray that the words will touch someone’s heart, and make them stop and think about how blessed we are to have loving, caring and nurturing parents.

Another issue I am thinking about is furthering my biblical studies by attending seminary, either as a full-time student or online somehow. I feel that God has called me in to spreading His Word as a minister of the Gospel, and after taking my first lay speaking course…I feel that calling more strongly than ever. Pray that I will do what God wants and not what I want. There is a big difference, and all that this humble servant of God asks for is the Holy Spirit’s direction on this call.

Besides that, it’s work as usual; Community Chorus puts on their big spring event on Mother’s Day (May 8th) at Trinity UMC in Brookfield at 2PM. It’s entitled, “An Afternoon At The Movies.” Jeannie and I will attempt “Love Lift Us Up Where We Belong” from the movie An Officer and a Gentleman. I don’t pretend to be a tenor, but, by golly, the male part IS a tenor part. Oh, well. God will provide.

Look for the column in Monday evening’s paper! I will post it after it is printed. God bless!
