Last Day

So, it's our last day in DC and once again, we are heading down to the mall to see some more monuments. It's a good think to remember. It seems the older I get the more I need to focus on that. Remembering the past is a good thing to help us align ourselves in the direction of the future we are wanting to obtain.

Do you do that? Or do you use the past to remember how great it was or do we use the past to prop up and shaky present.

Think about that for a moment!

See you in Portland next week!

I Fortgot!

So, have you ever forgot something . . .yes I'm sure you have. As for me, I have never forgotten anything since, oh, how about yesterday! So I was showing our good friends this blog and noticed that I had forgot to post my Monday morning message. Our good friends are now living in Washington DC and we are visiting them this week. We arrived here on Wednesday Evening. Our flight begain in Portland. When we got to the airport, we discovered that our non-stop was really had one stop in LA before heading west. I guess I should of figured that but it was a little of a surprise.

After LA, we started East. I sat next to a nice gentleman from southern Oregon and we shared a lot of storie about kids and life. He had way more then me, so he did most the talking. As we talked along the way, I looked out side and noticed that it was starting to get dark. I turned just for a moment, it seemed and looked back and it was dark. I guess traveling east in a plan going 300+ miles an hour makes dark come a lot quicker.

And there lies my point . . . .dark comes quickly when were are traveling away from the sun so fast. It seem the same in natural life as well as with our spiritual lives as well. May I incourage you to turn toward the SON and you will never experince true darkness.

Have a His Day

Adjustments!

So, just for fun (haha) my wife, Donna, scheduled an eye appointment for us this last Friday. With our eyes getting weak in our old age, we thought it would be good to do so. Donna's eyes hadn't changed a bit from her surgery she had a few years ago, and mine. Well, I know what you are thinking, you area expecting me to say that mine had changed a lot, right? Well, I'm happy to tell you that my eyes hadn't changed a lot, but, but my stigmata had gotten a little worst. My Doc. Suggested that we would change my lenses a little to keep my eye site Sharpe.

You know, If didn't' got in and had the expert help me, even with a little adjustment, I would not of known what was happening. With our spiritual lives, we needed to do the same. We might not know the slight changed that are going on. But if we keep in contact with the spiritual expert. (The Holly Spirit) we might never know what's going on. Keep you eye on the expert, the Holy Spirit to keep our spiritual eyes sharp.

Have a His Day

Open your gift!

I had a really fund conversation with a few Young adults over lunch and we stated talking about Spiritual Gifts. It wasn't one of theses "out of the blue" kind of things, it actually was a "to be continued" from the message shared at The Chapel. For me, it was really exhilarating to see these young people come a live with the possibility of doing something big for God. Receiving a Big time dream from God and know that God would supple the gifts, talents, and partners to accomplish it.

Shouldn't we all be in that place. Excited for the possibilities of partnering with God and others to do something that would love others. I pray this.

Oh, if you would like to get an idea of your spiritual gift, check out this web site.




Have a great day!
