It is now 5:00am KY time. Pastor Keith should be proud of me. It is 4:00am here so I may go back to bed though. We thank everyone for their prayers and their support. Today will be our first ministry day. We will be leading at 3 different church services. We have a fairly lengthy break between which we will use to go through all of the donations that we received.

The team got their first experience with Fanny’s cooking yesterday and I would say they were all quite pleased. Pastor said he usually loses weight on mission trips, but that’s because he hasn’t had Fanny cooking for him 3 ties a day.

As I was preparing last night for this mornings sermon I was struggling with it, but I realized that in my haste I was trying to use a sermon that I had previously prepared and just fit it to Today. About a month ago I had chosen all of the scripture for this week and on Friday when the pressure was on I chose to ignore that list. God reminded me in a mighty way that he is in control and not me when I opened Philippians 2:1-11 and within an hour had a complete sermon pour through me. I don’t think I have ever type that fast before. Now I just have to fix Arlene’s PC so I can print it out.

Today, as you are reading this blog, remember that in everything we do, we should not do it for ourselves, but we should do everything for God’s glory and to honor Him.

For those prayer warriors, I could use some for my back. Last night was difficult hetting to sleep, but I am determined to ignore the pain and praise God through it.

It is a little cold and quite windy this morning but it is a far cry from 12 degree so I’ll take it.

Well the rooster is crowing so I am either going to get up or go back to bed, either way I’l blog more later.
