The older I get, the more I realize there is so much more to learn about "everything! "I want to know more about God, the Bible, how to make bread, paint better pictures, how to become a better Grandpa, Dad, Husband, Neighbor, Pastor, Friend. I want to know more about how to communicate better, and how to help more people who are suffering. The list could go on and on.
What do you want to learn before you leave this earth?
What are you doing with your time now?
I read an interesting comment the other day. It said, "If you really want to become an expert at something or get really good at something, you would be living differently than you are right now!"
I find that very interesting. All of us are making choices that are either expanding our wisdom and talents or we are making choices that are stealing a better future not only from ourselves, but from many others as well. God can use you. But you may have to be transformed. And here is the deal. We are all being transformed! The question is, is it for the better?
This Sunday we will be welcoming a new drummer...?.. it's a surprise.
Our worship time will be at 8:45. There will be great music, and hopefully a great sermon.
See you Sunday. Pastor Kent
