Reflections From Sunday Evening

If you are a Chiefs fan -- too bad.
If you are an MU fan -- too bad.
If you are a KU fan -- too bad.
If you are an OU fan -- too bad.
Today it is better to be a KSU fan and of course a fan of Baker University!
Even better this is a great day to be a God fan! We had a great day at church. I really enjoyed doing the sermon with Curtis and Angie.
I loved the Footsteps dance group. This was the groups first time out this fall and to see them in their new outfits (memorial in honor of Valerie Gooch) was a blessing.
And that's not all. We truly sensed the presence of God in our midst today. I had a couple of take aways from today.
When God's Spirit moves among the congregation and the people respond amazing things happen. We mentioned this in light of our "Today, Tomorrow, Together" finance campaign we held about three years ago. We greatly exceeded our goals - God moved and people responded.
I also hope you caught the part of perfecting your strengths rather than spending too much energy on compensating for your weaknesses.
The other thing to remember is what may happen when an environment is developed where people are free to engage in the ministry they sensed they are being called to. So if someone has an idea that honors God and ministers to the needs of people that should be enough.
All in all this has been a great day to be a fan of Jesus Christ. I hope you've had a great day too.
blessings,
steve
