Thanks for the mosquitoes

I don't know what your small group was like, but ours was in rare form tonight. Thanks for the laughs and I hope someone learned something. At least we'll pray about it...

As you read this you are likely starting into your Monday and, for some, a short week as we head towards Thanksgiving. Can I ask if you have a take-away from this morning's message?

One of the great challenges is to take Sunday's sermon and apply it the rest of the week. My own notes from Pastor Ted's comments included scratchings on God's provision, God's plan, God's reception, God's purpose, God's patience and God's presence.

One line in particular stuck with me, "thanks for the mosquitoes." Memorable, eh?

So as we race towards a Thanksgiving break (and three NFL football games on Thursday) let me encourage you to take a moment to count the blessings in your life and give thanks for all things.

Yes, even the mosquitoes. (And Monday!)

Our small group was good, as is always the case. The lesson about personal evangelism always brings with it a sense of guilt for our inablility and unwillingness to share the most exciting news ever presented to man. I've suggested to our group that we don't make the task so daunting that we talk ourselves out of it before beginning, but to set a realistic goal of making a significant spiritual impact on one person's life in the coming months. If all of us could only touch one soul for the kingdom, imagine what a difference it could make in eternity. Blessings to all, DDD
