Summer's Almost Over

It is hard to believe that summer is almost over. The smell of school is in the air. Many of the college students have returned to their temporary homes for the next few months. Summer vacations are becoming a distant memory. Soon, a whole new season will be upon us all - ready or not! Fall is an awesome time to reach out to people with the gospel of Jesus. Look for opportunites for reaching out across the yard, the office or the school. One day our season on this earth will end. Will we go into the season of eternity without regrets?

"Disappointment"

Yesterday, I experienced my first e-bay disappointment. I have been bidding on a set of rare, out of print commentaries on the Old Testament. This was my first e-bay experience and it was exciting until the disappointment of losing the bid to a mom who is paying her son's way through college with an on-line bookstore. It is amazing what you can learn about people on-line. Disappointment is a part of the human experience and must be overcome with the realization that God is in control of our lives. Jesus doesn't need the internet to know how we are feeling and what we are facing. God has us on-line all the time. Put all of your disappointments in the hands of Jesus today and He will encourage your heart!
