How Am I?
Glad you asked. I feel like one feels after a Thanskgiving meal.
Full.
Content.
But in desperate need of nap in front of a TV beaming football.

From Darkness to Light...
I'm trying to figure out photoshop. I'm in way over my head, but I'm having fun so far.

Ride Your Bike...
On my way back to the office after lunch, I rode my 'new' 80's era vintage Schwinn cruiser. It's the old coaster brake style. Very cool. . . pics forthcoming. Bekah has a matching lady's cruiser. We plan to paint the town red with our matching red cruisers.
Yeah, we're THAT couple.
And it's all thanks to Craig and his wonderful list. I love Craig's list.
Anyway, on my ride I saw no less than 5 people I knew, and I was able to stop and talk to them.
If I had been insulated in my car, all I'd have to show for my commute was 5 courtesy waves hello, a couple dollars burned out of my gas tank, and some calories left unburned from my belly.
Instead, I rode my bike to work, and was able to actually have 5 real conversations.
You may be thinking: "Well, Drew, you live in a small town...that's different."
Is it?

Camping in the Middle of Somewhere...
I spoke at
True North Church in Wauseon, OH last Sunday...a small church with a big heart and an even bigger impact.
They podcast their weekly services, and you can listen to my sermon
HERE.
This is the first go-around [of 3 churches], so it's a bit bumpy in spots. My gifting is not preaching. . . Billy Graham I am not. But overall, it think it went very well. I used a few phrases that I won't again (for example: I mentioned 'Christian nation'....I don't think the U.S. was ever been a 'Christian nation'...but that's another story), and I'm going to clarify a few points I though might have come across a bit muddy.
Also, a few visual notes: I used some powerpoint slides, and referenced it in my sermon. Also, I was preaching next to the biggest pop-up tent ever.
I'll be speaking the [roughly] very same sermon this Sunday at Salem Church in Gridley, IL. So if you'll be there, don't listen to the podcast. It'll ruin the surprise...

Quotable Quotes worth Quoting...
"The most powerful thing that can happen in the place of prayer is that you become the prayer. You leave the room as Jesus' hands and feet on earth."--Brennan Manning
"Service flows out of worship. Service instead of worship is idolatry."--Richard Foster

In the meantime: read John 1:14 and meditate upon it.
