Pastor's Thoughts

God is sooooooooooo good

I am really excited about a future possibility for Destiny Church. Can't say anything specific about it now, but it will be awesome if it turns out like we are praying for. I know that God has great plans for us and have seen so much in the last 6+ years. The Holy Spirit has given us a vision that is so much bigger than we are, certainly bigger than I am, and seeing Him at work bringing it to pass is such a blessing. << MORE >>

Sasha broke a vase - with her tail....

Linda and I came home from running some errands and Sasha was so excited her tail was wagging as usual and it hit this large vase that was sitting on the floor next to the dining room table. Her tail hit it and it shattered. The thing was a pretty thick ceramic type vase so her tail must have hit with some pretty severe force.<< MORE >>

Blessed day; people filled with the Spirit; loving it....

Talked to the people today about how the fullness of the Spirit is God's prescription for burnout. The Baptism in the Holy Spirit with the initial physical evidence of speaking with other tongues is the single most important event in the life of a Christian. << MORE >>

Texting disasters; great church; hand surgery; rain

The engineer of a train in the Northeast was texting when he ran the train into another one or off the tracks creating mass casualties. Recently saw a video of a bus driver for handicapped kids who was texting as he rear ended a stopped car ahead of him. All of it was on film from a camera mounted in the bus. Crazy. << MORE >>

When God changes my mind

MOTHER'S DAY: Went to church ready to preach on Mother's Day. When I stopped by my office to pick up my microphone, the Holy Spirit spoke to my heart and changed the message to 2 Chronicles 7:14. I am blessed that the people of Destiny Church are so gracious when the Lord moves on me like this.<< MORE >>

Walking the dog, old friends, a retirement ceremony, Egg Hunt, and more....

Walking The Dog - Linda and I walked Sasha for almost 2 miles tonight in our neighborhood. It has been a really long time since we've walked and I can feel it. The terrible thing about exercise is that you have to keep doing it to feel better and to not ache afterwards. What a bummer. We really do need to do this though. Sasha needs the exercise and so do we. Poor dog is plum tuckered out as they would say in Texas. << MORE >>

"Trigger Thumb" Ouch, Netflix, Hulu.com, Blessing of it all....

"Trigger Thumb" Ouch - Have tirgger thumb which is a clicking in the knuckle of my thumb that is really NOT the bones clicking even though it feels that way. It is the tendons or some such thing that because of inflamation is not working properly. Anyway, had to have a shot which hurt like all get out in spite of the stuff the technician sprayed on my hand while the doctor was giving me the needle. Oy.<< MORE >>

New Centurions; Renovations; Easter

The New Centurions - is a year long discipleship program for the men of Destiny Church. Tonight we finished the last class and rehearsed for the commissioning on Sunday, April 19th. There will be 11 men who will receive a Centurion's Sword commemorating their completion of the program. We started with 18. Over the course of the year the men read 2 books and we meet each month to consider several different areas that are vital to being godly Christian men. Men of faith, honor and integrity.<< MORE >>
