This past week has been crazy cold! Record breaking cold temperatures have been set all over the country. The coldest I've heard in the Dallas area was 12-13 degrees on Friday and Saturday mornings. Merilyn told me that it was 1-2 degrees in Springdale with breezes that took it down to a wind chill of well below zero. That makes me shiver just thinking about it! Don't you just love global warming? Maybe that will be our big cold blast for this winter season and it will be better from now on.
It's been a busy, busy week this past week. That's my excuse for having so few posts lately, but it's really true. After being away for the excellent holiday season, I had some catching up to do. There have been some outstanding football games this past week. I kind of hated it about Colt McCoy getting knocked out of the Alabama-Texas championship game, but that's football. Just in case you didn't see it, the Cowboys won their first playoff game in 13 years! The sports writers in the Dallas Morning News are sure eating a good helping of crow after bad-mouthing the team during the past several weeks. Adam came up from College Station on Saturday for a visit so we got to watch the game together. He spent the night and went to church with me yesterday morning. It was great to have him here.
We had an exceptional day at church yesterday. Attendance was much higher than normal both for Bible class and worship. We had several families who used to be members here who came back for a visit. After worship we had a fellowship meal with the main course being BBQ smoked brisket done by one of our members who has a trailer mounted smoker/cooker. We probably had 125 or more who stayed for the meal.
My sermon yesterday morning was called "Stay In The Safe Zone" with the main theme of following God's way for life and using David as a prime example along with his words from Psalm 25:1-7, Psalm 37:1-11 and Psalm 56:1-4. The evening sermon was called "God Will Take Care Of You" with the teaching of Jesus from Matthew 6:25-34. The primary point of both messages is that we can put our trust in God and then be at peace knowing that He is in control. May that be true for each of us as we continue to move into 2010 and throughout our lives. I will leave you with one of my favorite passages in the Bible. Have a great day and a great week!
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not rely on your own insight. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make straight your paths. Be not wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord, and turn away from evil. It will be healing to your flesh and refreshment to your bones. (Proverbs 3:5-8)
