Yes, I’m here in Sterling again for some study and long term planning. Yesterday, God was very gracious and I was able to make some headway on a few projects. I did get a basic preaching schedule outlined for the year. Also got a project done for the elders. I finished designing a camp brochure for our students. Also did some general brainstorming on ministries, seeking ways that we could more effectively “glorify and enjoy God forever, through Jesus Christ.” All is all, it was a pretty good day. Today, I hope to finish my Sunday sermon and do some more long term planning and spend time in prayer. I was encouraged by a sermon by Mike Bullmore yesterday on “Loving the Local Church.” Today, I also listened to some “classic C.J. on ‘Pay Attention to What You Hear'” from New Attitude 2003. These are some good days from God and God is using my time here in remarkable ways.
