Today was week one of our sermon series called "Just Did It". We hit some hard issues such as health care reform and socialism. We looked at generations of past Americans and talked some about their challenges and struggles and how that in those difficult times, a demand was made for pure leadership. We also opened our bibles and looked at a woman of great faith that stepped out beyond the bounds of fear and "Just Did It" for God. Her name was Esther! If you have never read the book, read it! If it's been a while, re-read it. I think we are living in times where the church in America is facing a wonderful opportunity to make a stand and do something great for God that future generations will benefit from! What will we do??? I think that we were all born for such a time as this.
I also want to say a BIG "WAY TO GO" to Dindy Roa!!!! She lead worship today for the very first time in her life and did a fantastic job!!! I am so proud of her and Jolene as well as our entire worship team. They are gettin' it done!!

Blast From the Past

We have been moving into a new house this week and I found something of mine, well sort of mine, that I had packed away for years. It is a 1989 Topps baseball card complete set. This set has some great cards in it. Bo Jackson is in there as well as some of the great Atlanta Braves pitchers rookie cards. The problem is that I stole that set from a grocery store that I worked at when I was 16. Food Fair to be exact in Trussville, Al. I told my kids what I had done and then I picked up the phone and called the Bruno's head offices in Birmingham and told the girl that answered what I had done and that I wanted to make it right. I told her that I was not a Christian when I stole it but I have since given my life to following Jesus. She was quite for a second and didn't know what to say after asking me to repeat my story. She typed everything up and said that she would send it to upper management and let them decide. At the end she told me that she too was a Christian and thanked me for doing this. She said it inspired her. I am awaiting the phone call or email to see what they say. I will let you all know!

What a great day we had at Destiny Church this Sunday! There were so many guests in the house and it was great to meet them and hear so many stories of their lives. I was proud of all of the hard work that went into pulling off the cook out. The place was packed!!!! It just goes to show that preaching and music do not build great churches. Its all about relationships. Connecting people to a real, active and personal relationship with Jesus and then connecting them to people that will serve them and love them into their destiny. It was such a hit, we are really thinking about doing it once a quarter. I think its a great idea! Give me your thoughts Destiny Church!
