Local Crossigs News (appologies to the world-wide community)

This week at Crossings...

Ryan went for a job interview today. He said that all went well. He will go for a follow up interview soon. Pray that God will work things out for him. A day job could be a real blessing to him and to the church. This will be his weekend to work.

Eric is doing well with his new job. Pray that God will help him get his schedule worked out so he can be with us again on Sundays.

Marcie is doing well at her IRS training in Little Rock. She will be gone this weekend and then back again next week I believe. We will all be glad when she gets back home for good at the end of February. Keep praying that all goes well for her.

No news yet on a meeting location. We will meet at my house on Sunday.

Blessings.

Pastor G

Ever Noticed....

I know this blog has become a ghost-town recently. So I thought I'd better dust off the cobwebs. I was watching TV. During a break I had to watch a local car lot commercial. I hate local car commercials. They are selling the #2 big purchase that most people make and they treat you like an idiot. Why would I want to buy anything from someone who is waving their arms around screaming at me. So, I turned the channel. It landed on a TV evangelist. I'll let you connect the dots. Peace.

The Hard Sell

I was hanging out in one of the local coffee dives this week. (I know quicken will tell me how much I'm spending on coffee, but I really don't want to know) Anyway, sitting across the room is an Air Force Recruiter. He was sitting on one side of a table, a frustrated mother was in the middle and a rough looking teen was on the other side. I was trying to focus on my late' and a book, but the dude was using his outside voice. I think he thought louder is more convincing. So I spent the next 30 minutes listening to a hard sell on how the military will straighten this kid's life up and give him a purpose. I wondered if this guy also did used car commercials on TV. Keep in mind, I'm as patriotic as you can be. My dad was career military. I was on my way to the Air Force Academy when I decided on a life in the ministry. I actually wore red, white and blue shoes in the 70's. OK, bad image, but you get my point. THIS GUY WAS ANNOYING ME FROM 30 FT AWAY. I just wanted t...

Lent

What it's not. It's not Biblical. There are no stories in the Bible of the season of Lent. No character ever said that he's giving up something for Lent. There's no passage that says, “Thou shalt observe Lent!” It's also not Roman Catholic. Although it is mostly only observed in liturgical churches, it isn't exclusive to them. It's not voodoo for Evangelical Protestants to observe. No one's going to revoke your church membership or tie you up and drop you off at the nearest Episcopal church. It's also not just about giving up stuff and having someone rub ashes on your forehead. Even though that is the only thing you may have been exposed to. It's much deeper than that. What it is. I believe it is Beneficial. And I do believe it is Biblical in the way that it is rooted in Biblical truths. Everyone can use a seasonal reminder of self sacrifice, giving, and prayer. In fact, it is so rooted in those truths that it should b...
