For the Kingdom
I, along with Dana Kluzek & Mike Lewis, have met with our Finance Team to present and discuss steps for moving forward with our fast-approaching Debt Retirement campaign. What I have personally seen in scripture, as well as discussed with pastor friends of mine, is very exciting. I am convicted that we will not only pay off our new-construction debt early, but quickly. More on this in next week’s Navigator.
The following mid-week opportunities for learning will begin Aug. 26th, 6:30pm
The Gospel of John – Nick Watts – worship center
GriefShare – Tom & Diane Heath – 209

QUOTES of the WEEK
And..,
“What one generation tolerates, the next generation will embrace.” ― John Wesley
LAUGHTER IS GOOD MEDICINE
And…,
A funny thing happened while I was preaching in Kerrville. During some free time I was convicted that people needed something to laugh about in this bad-news-filled society in which we find ourselves. The home I stayed in had a piano in my bedroom. So, I wrote a quick parody of Neil Diamond’s ‘Sweet Caroline’ called ‘Sweet Quarantine’, recorded it and posted it on my Facebook page.
Well, apparently a lot of people needed a laugh because it’s now been viewed over 12 thousand times on Facebook. Interestingly, it was even shared by Christy Hartin from KCBD Lubbock. (And she shared that I was one of the pastors at BHBC. You’re welcome for the free publicity.) Enjoy…
