This and That

My little Caden was four this week. I bought him a bicycle and Diane will take it to him this weekend. Where do the years go.

People I have Met and Lessons I Have Learned

I completely forgot my Financial Peace class last Thursday. I have only done something like this a couple of times in my 40 plus years of preaching. One other time I was sitting at my desk in Mt Carmel, Illinois and my phone rang. The voice on the phone said, Where are you? We have 500 kids waiting for you to speak." Opps! Big Opps!!!! Thankfully they were very forgiving although they never asked me to speak again. We all do big Opps don't we? Thankfully God is very forgiving. But in saying that we must be careful. While God forgives there are often ongoing consequences. So let's thank God for His grace but let us also work at going to him in our times of need so we can beat (with his help) some of our weaknesses.

Hebrews 4:16 So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive his mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most. New Living Translation (©2007)

I leave for Fayette Missouri in the morning. When I return I Thursday I teach Financial Peace that night. Friday I leave for Waco Texas. I will speak to three different congregations. Then when I return on Tuesday I get to spend the night at home. Wednesday I leave for Lewisville Texas. When I return I have two days at home and then I head to Bernie, Missouri. I think I hear, On The Road Again, lightly paying through my mind. Please pray for Traveling Mercies.
