Pastor's week

How does a pastor's week go? Saturday, Sunday! Saturday, Sunday! Saturday, Sunday! Here I am on another Saturday. Tomorrow brings a class for kids on a title for Christ, then continuing our study in Romans 1, then an Elders/Deacons meeting, then home for lunch with family, then evening service where we are viewing a dvd about America's heritage. A nice mix.
This week we began using some new software for our pregnancy center. It is called ekyros and when we are up and running, it should be of great help. There is a learning curve (but not too bad) and lots of data entry. I have been trying to help out, but there is a lot to do.
It is almost time for Lawrence Welk. Diane manages to empty the room with that program! The music isn't too bad (well, most of it), but you have have to blink at the LOUD outfits! At least Diane will sit down for the hour that it is on (unless her mom calls).

Back again!

I enjoy reading other blogs... thought I had better get back to mine! Can it be over a month since I last wrote? Yep!
In this last month I went in to see my doctor. We had changed our principle care physician (PCP) and he needed to write out new prescriptions. While I was there he asked (innocently enough), "Have you had your flu shot?" I replied, "I usually don't get sick with the flu." The upshot was that I got a shot and... you guessed it... here it comes... I got sick. Well, it wasn't really the flu... no temp... just a nasty cough. It just hangs on. More like walking pneumonia.
Anyway, life rushes on. Can it be the latter part of February already? Wow! I have been busy. The Scouts have called on my services more recently. I have loved being the counselor for the "Citizenship in the Nation" merit badge. I think that as a general rule our understanding of the original documents and fathers of our country are woefully lacking. Reviewing the documents and history is always inspiring. I went online and ordered some dvds from Wallbuilders (www.wallbuilders.com). Good stuff. If you haven't seen their materials, I would highly recommend you reviewing their resources. What a Godly heritage we have! I often feel we have been robbed of our heritage because of the failure to teach it in our schools, talk about it in our discussion of current events and apply it in our culture.
