Things turn out best for the people who make the best of the way things turn out.

Renewing Your Mind

Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect. ---- Romans 12:2


Have you ever heard of R. C. Sproul? He is a very wise Bible teacher. I'm sure there is a more professional sounding word to describe him but right now it's not coming to me. He used to be a pastor and now has a teaching ministry called "Renewing Your Mind." The notes included in this E.S.V. Bible are written by him. For those of you who don't know E.S.V. stands for English Standard Version. It's a fairly literal translation of the Bible but a little easier to understand than the King James. I happen to use the English Standard Version. My brother reccomends it (Baptist preacher), they are in fact the translation of the pew Bibles at his church, and my pastor uses it as well. I have really enjoyed it. Nevertheless, I intend to take full advantage of this sale. I suggest you look into the ESV Bible, R.C. Sproul, and his website: http://www.ligonier.org/
I am very excited about not only being able to listen to R.C.'s teachings but also watching them online too. I have a couple video series of his and I've seen a couple of other ones. He's real good. You might want to take notes.
Well, I thought I would just get the word out that the Word is on sale. :)

San Antonio Life Chain


























“I am now giving you the choice between life and death, between

God’s blessing and God’s curse, and I call heaven and earth to
witness the choice you make. Choose life.” Deuteronomy 30:19

Today I took part in a very valuable ministry. I was a link in the San Antonio Life Chain today from 2:00 -3:00 pm. What a good use of my time. A very productive hour. It was very encouraging as people drove by honking, waving, and some were handing out water for the participants. It was a beautiful day today too. I had never taken part in the Life Chain so today was my first time. Next time I'll be more prepared like our pastor was in his shorts, flip-flops, and full-brimmed hat and t-shirt. I on the other hand was still in my church attire. Fortunately today was one of my less dressy days. I was rather uncomfortable in my sweater, jeans, and 3 inch heel boots. Who knew holding a sign could be hard. Hardly much suffering considering the impact we had. If you have never been a part of a Life Chain before I highly suggest you commit yourself to one some time. On the back of the large signs were suggested songs, Life Chain etiquette, several suggested prayers, Psalm 51 I believe it was and some other info. For an hour the only sound I heard were cars passing by and honking. It was nice to spend some time with the Lord doing His will.

K-Love

Looking for something to keep your mind on things above and not on the things of this world?

Positive and Encouraging

K - LOVE just ended their fall pledge drive at just over 80%. They are totally listener supported. Please keep K-LOVE's ministry in your prayers as they reach out to the world.
One of my newest favorites is Delirious' "Inside Outside" from their World Service album. It kind of reminds me of U2.
