We just started a message series yesterday that will take us to Easter. It is entitled "One Hour Heroes" and in it, we focus on some seemingly insignificant people in the Bible who God used to do some miraculous things. In worship yesterday, we read John 6:1-13 and talked about the unnamed boy who shared his lunch and, for one hour, became a hero. You can listen to it here. We are challenging our people do the same...do something in ministry to the world each week for only an hour...and see what the Lord will do with it. God stuff!
Sounds like it will be a great series.
ReplyDeleteBut let me begin the next series of posts to a blog totally unrelated to your topic.
Why the change in the background? Don't you have anything better to do?????
Indeed! Look at the picture! Enough head tilt? I'm killing time while talking to Shaver on the phone.
ReplyDeleteAnd hey, quis custodiet ipsos custodes to you Greg.
ReplyDeleteThat's like a three quarter tilt. It may be too much, but I like where you're goin with this one.
ReplyDeleteet tu brute, caveat emptor, ars gratia artis, tu, tui, tibi, te, te.
ReplyDeleteAnd that's about all I remember from Latin.
Oooh,Oooh, here's one more. Venite adoremus, venite adoremus, venite adoremus, dominum.
don't forget e pluribus unim
ReplyDeleteYou're right - totally forgot that one. Now I have to get to work.
ReplyDeleteCatapultam habeo. Nisi pecuniam omnem mihi dabis, ad caput tuum saxum immane mittam.
ReplyDeleteI may have taken latin, but don't know what that was. I can only pick out a few words, and beyond that - high school seems so far away. There is a reason they call it a dead language.
ReplyDeleteYou guys with your latin...I can barely remember how to write and speak proper english. May God move through your preaching series. The first one sounded great.
ReplyDeleteIt means (roughly):
ReplyDelete"I have a catapult. Give me all your money, or I will fling an enormous rock at your head."
Keith,
ReplyDeleteDo you mind if I use that in my sermon on Sunday? I'm also thinking about making that my personal mission statement.
By all means...use it.
ReplyDeleteBrett,
ReplyDeleteYou will never stop babbling incessantly - that's why you're a preacher - it's part of the job! I like the new pictures - Shadrach, Beary Bear, Underdog are great. The picture of you is... Do you want me to send a pciture of Mrs. Beasley? Love ya, man!
Wow, you miss a day of blogging and the whole world goes crazy.
ReplyDeleteBy the way Igpay, ufay, yougay.
I think the whole catapult message could be a great Stewardship emphasis. It's Latin, sort of biblical in a Davidic kind of way. I don't know - it could be fun.
ReplyDeleteChris - I know that things have been happening in your world that have been a little distrating, but get with it.
Finally - this post is woefully under last week's record of 23 comments. I expect more from a post.
Greg: sorry...I'll try harder
ReplyDeleteChris: what?
Breeeen: good to have you chimin' in. Yes, please email me a pic ASAP of Mrs. Beesknees for inclusion in a future post
Brett,
ReplyDeleteIf, after 35+ years, you still can't call her by her proper name, then I cannot let you play with Mrs Beasley!
And I think your friend Chris is trying to get in on the Latin thing via Pig Latin but I can't (I'm afraid!) decipher it!
Enchante'!
Well, French isn't gonna get 'er done here either.
ReplyDeleteAu contraire, mom frere. La francais est bienvenue ici. Merci pour le correspondence ma sœur.
ReplyDeleteHey, what about carpe diem?
ReplyDeleteYou do that in my house, you'll clean it up.
ReplyDeletebtw Chris...what the heck are you trying to say in Pig Latin anyhow?
