Coming Later Today: Blog Upgrade

My new updated and upgraded blog will be operational later today. I will include a link on this page when it is ready for all to see. Thanks for your patience.

We have a winner!

Mike Hoyle won the MP3 player for correctly guessing that I will use Mr. Potato Head as an object lesson on Sunday. Coming soon, Mike will be able to download my messages and listen to them at work, around the house, while doing yard work. I know he can't wait.

You don't want to miss what Mr. Potato Head can teach us about the Body of Christ and our piece of that body this Sunday. I plan on having the new and improved blog up and running on Monday, September the 10th. Stay tuned for some other giveaways.

Giveaway

In case you haven't read the blog about last Sunday, I included a question and the first person to answer correctly gets an MP3 player. Read the question and make your guess here. Also, next week, after the blog gets its upgrade, I will be having a couple of other giveaways. You don't want to miss it.

Great Sunday

Going into a Labor Day service (or any service on a holiday), I always have relatively low expectations. I probably shouldn't since God is so awesome, but I typically try to set myself up not to be disappointed, so I go in thinking the worst. But this past week's service was awesome. The worship was great and people really responded well to my fishbowl illustration. And best of all, I didn't break them (like I did a couple of times in practice.) But the best news was that we had 10 or 11 families visiting. That was awesome. God has been so good to us this summer. I can't wait for what He has in store for us this fall.

Don't miss this Sunday. I have another object lesson, and this one has to do with a favorite toy that millions of kids have played with over the years. I have a gift to the first one who guesses it. James, you and my family are ineligible to play since you know the answer. Biscuit, you can't play either (if you even read my blog). Plus anyone else who has already got wind of it can't guess. Only one guess per person.

How about those Tigers!

Don't have much to write today. I think I stayed up too late last night watching Clemson dominate Florida State, and then hold on by the skin of their teeth. Great start to the season. Go Tigers!
