Do people still read blogs? Has Face book and Twittering spelled the death of their longer winded cousin - the blogger? I am wondering. We are entering into a new frontier with communication. It is less face to face and more keyboard to keyboard. At least they are "talking", but are they really?
We had a wonderful baptismal service two weeks ago. All adults. It was glorious. The video is on our church web site - it takes a long time to load - be patient. It is such a wonderful thing to participate in the decision that people make to obey Jesus in baptism. My heart is humbled.
This past Sunday things did not go so well. There were technical problems. They can be really aggravating. And, a lot of people were out of town. Too often I see who is not here rather than who is here. And, at least from my perspective, the sermon did not go so well. I want everything to go just right and when it doesn't it throws me into discouragement. I still have not learned the lesson of slogging onward and upward. Praise God when it all comes to gather and heaven seems to have come to earth. But, Praise God also when things break, we stumble through sermons, and all does not seem well. God is still on the throne. Following Jesus means slogging at times.

We still read your Blog entries and look forward to them. We know you like to have things go exactly as you planned, however, many of the things that discourage you are not even noticed by the majority. Satan likes when you are discouraged. Don't let him win. You're doing a great job and we are Proud of You! Keep pressing on Brother!
