Tunnel Vision

OK, I was watching TBN last night and I heard this amazing teenager give the greatest object lesson on tunnel vision. He had everyone in the congregation make a small O with one of their hands take it and put it up to one eye and look through it. Then take it down and look with both eyes. Sad that even as Christians we have tunnel vision where we only see what's in front of us and not what is surrounding us. We have to look at the whole picture. God is amazing just look at everything around us, from the simple things like a tree or the sunset, to the incredible technology that we have now to go any where in the world. So next time your outside look ALL around you, not just what's in front of you. Our God IS an awesome God!

Fun in the Sun

Last night our church rented the Alma Water Park for the church. Everyone had a great time. I seen people going down the toilet bowl slide that I thought I would never see in a pair shorts. LOL. I pretty sure the adults had more fun than the kids did. Pastor I am so proud to call you my Pastor. Living Word-River Valley is "Definitely not church as usual" and I am so glad its not.

Perspectives

Well another weekend goes by and it was another busy one. I had to work, but Tony worked harder and it was more beneficial. He got to work in and around God's house. He came home exhausted but exilerated. We had a work day at our church and from what I hear it was great. Alot was accomplished. Go Ministries came and helped out with it also. Thanks to all for making our church a great place to be. Thanks to our Pastors Kevin and Susan Fletcher for a vision.

God is so great. Only God can make the beauty that surrounds us daily. Have you ever really looked at a butterfly. What an amazing creature! Now think about this, that very beautiful creature that you see before you it took an awesome journey to get that point. I know, I know some of you are thinking DUHHHH, its a caterpillar then Poof!!, its a butterfly, but it goes through a tremendous transformation. Just as Christians take that same transformation. We start out as caterpillars(Sinners), then we go into a cocoon(living of the world), then we transform into a beautiful creature(asking Jesus into our hearts). I don't know about you but I love being this beautiful creature that God has turned me into. I will never go back to my old life. I love people saying to me why are you so joyful. I can gladly say, "It's not me, it's Jesus." So next time you see a butterfly, think about the transformation you have been through or if you don't know Jesus Christ, just open the Holy Bible and read and you can transform into beautiful creature. We all have to take that journey of our FREE WILL and choose, don't choose wrongly, CHOOSE LIFE-CHOOSE CHRIST.
