Day after Thanksgiving

Black Friday. It sounds creepy unless you get your income from people shopping at your business. The day that puts you back into the "black" financially. The one day that I'm really, really glad that I don't work retail anymore!!!

I pray that you all had a great Thanksgiving. I'm reminded of all the blessings that God has given my family this past year. Although I miss being in Nebraska with the rest of my family, God has brought us to a wonderful place here in Kansas. Last week I gave a sermon on Thanksgiving (if you would like notes from this sermon leave me a comment and I'll try to get them to you) and I told about the prayers Misty and I had about the church we would end up in. All of them had been answered. I am so grateful for that!!! It was even more than we prayed for. It has been a great blessing for us to be here.

Remember Who you are thankful to and make sure you are thanking Him more than just once a year!!!

Guilty

Ok, you've discovered that I'm not the most consistent as far as posting goes. I just put time into other things. By the way, linerider, although fun, takes up too much time.

I'm looking forward to the sermon this week. It's going to be a look at our freedom in Christ and the war between our old and new natures. (Gal. 5:13-26) We continually struggle with the old nature and it's desires. It reminds me of a song by Smalltown Poets called "Everything I Hate". The song says "I'm into everything I hate, my spirit is not moved, my members take the bait." We hate the sin but we keep going back to it like a dog to it's own vomit. Sickening how we continue to live in the sin that Christ died to set us free from.

Been Awhile...

It's been awhile since I posted anything, but since I don't think anyone has read this yet, no big deal.

I do not remember much about last week. I'm not entirely sure why, but it all went by in a big blur (I don't even remember Tuesday).
This week is going a little better. We're all fighting colds and our voices sound strange as a result. The sermon for this Sunday should flow together pretty smoothly. I need to run it through a good outline and do some more writing (which usually corresponds with more research), but I think it will go well.

For those who are interested it will be on Gal. 5:1-12.

God bless,
Tyler
