I am posting this on Sunday night instead of Monday morning because I will be on my way to WV on Monday morning to pick up Max. Sydney is going with me and it will be good to have the company of my little girl!
What a great day it has been. When the second worship gathering at GCF was over today I was really grateful to God that he honored my struggles with John 16.16-24 by giving me a sermon that really challenged and encouraged many people. Mike Krejci was great on the song Give me Jesus and, as always, my thanks to Uday for listening to the Lord as he was thinking through music and our worship order last week. Working with him has been one of the big privileges of my life so far.
About 20 or so of us from GCF went to the Lexington Legends game this afternoon. What a good time. It was really relaxed and we enjoyed the game on the shady side of the ball park whiel hanging out together. It’s something we’ll need to do again sometime.
I also learned today that our plans are well underway to have roast goat for our international potluck at the conclusion of this coming weekend’s Spring into Missions activities. I also took note of all of the faces that looked a bit relieved when I announced this morning that we’d also have ham or fried chicken for those who are afraid of goat. Although it did strike me as I was eating a hotdog at the ballpark today that at least I’ll know what’s in my roast goat – just goat. I seldom feel that certain about the contents of a weiner 
Here’s the challenge for the week: seek the things of God’s kingdom in the name of Jesus; expecting to be hated by the powers of darkness and expecting to be completely irresistable to the Father!
