TGIF

TGIF is a phrase that all working people embrace. Thank God It's Friday! The weekend is here. No more work until Monday! As a pastor, and as a Christian, I like TGIF for another reason summed up in this statement: "Thank God it's Friday, because SUNDAY is coming!!! I agree with the psalmist when he said "I rejoiced with those who said to me, Let us go to the house of the Lord!" (Psalm 122:1)

I can't wait for Sunday to arrive this week. I am so excited to see what new miracles and expressions of power & love that God will shower upon us this Lord's Day at Midland Valley Nazarene! When I left church last week, I said to God, "I'm not sure you can top today!" He said back to me, "Just watch me!"

Are you excited each Friday because you don't have to work? Or are you excited because Sunday is just two days away! I hope that you are excited about your church, and that you long with anticipation about the encounter with the Living God that awaits you on Sunday! What a way to live!

I am doing well today. If my strength holds, I plan to take my beautiful wife, Vicky, on a date tonight! Thanks for your prayers. God is helping, and I am rejoicing! I love you!
