last night...game night

last night: i don't know how any of you feel, but last night was great, i even heard the word intense used. God was definitely working last night. it's time too really begin praying for this campus. what he's doing in chi alpha needs to flood over onto the campus.

game night: don't forget the game night friday night at life fellowship. bring a friend, bring some finger food, bring a friend. this type of thing is an opportunity to introduce people to chi alpha without bringing them to the main meeting first. it lets them get to know us through a more social setting. plus it's really good for all us regulars to connect in a different setting. so, make it a point to be there. it will be fun! denise, toni/dru, and ezz promise it will be.

chi alpha last night was amazing on several different levels. i honestly believe that what we did has the chance to change the lives of a lot of people. thank you so much for allowing us to be a ministry that can do what we did last night. it is a joy to serve you guys. keep praying that the seed that was sown last night will continue to reap a harvest for months and years to come.

change, it can be scary...exciting...or both. but when a change takes place there is always the element of the unknown. for quite a while now i've felt a change needed to take place in chi alpha and how we "did" ministry. we simply we're not getting the job done, we had become stagnant, comfortable and and at least in my eyes increasingly ineffective.

with that being said, change is on the way, and along with it the element of the unknown. i don't know what this change will bring, but i do believe it is the direction God would have us to go. i asked you to pray about the spring semester over the break, i hope you have and are returning having heard from God. you the student are the key to this change. are you ready?

my line of work requires me to speak quite frequently and as with anything you do on a regular basis there are going to be times when you're not really into what you are doing. Sunday morning i had to "preach" at my home church as i always do when the pastor is out of town. this sunday was one of those days when i just wasn't into it at all. i wasn't excited about my topic at all and when you speak that's pretty important. so, i start speaking but i'm hating it the whole time, i'm not concentrating and i'm just going through the motions. i'm definitely not on top of my game.

i'm thinking to myself this is painful for me how much more painful must this be for everyone else. well my lack of concentration was about to come back and bite me in the butt. so i'm speaking while thinking ahead to what i was going to say next when i pay the price for not being into what i was doing. i don't even remember what i was talking about so i'll fill it in with blahs. so i say, blah, blah, blah blah b-blah, "more worse"... that's right, more freaking worse.

moral #1: when you goof around with the english language, speaking incorrectly on purpose because it's funny and it irritates english majors, it will come back to bite you.

moral #2: we all screw up in important situations from time to time. failure is a part of life. sometimes it's our fault because of lack of preperation or in my case just a bad attitude, sometimes it just happens without anyone really to blame. learn from it, laugh at it and move on, and when you wake up the next morning be grateful you get another shot at life.

so i've been thinking...

is it possible to abuse God's grace? or does the very existence of grace make it impossible to do so?

i'm working on this for next wed. night, so by commenting you can personally help put together next weeks "sermon".
