...after a four hour kayak trip yesterday, I am sunburned!!! I never had a sunburning problem until I began taking medication for hypertension...so, I've never had the need to wear sunscreen.
I'm getting better at remembering now though...but yesterday, I managed to get sunscreen on my face...but in the rush of getting myself and seven out the door I forgot my legs and arms...
ouch...

...vacation that is. After attending a wedding in NW Indiana Saturday, we arrived in Florida Sunday. It has been so good. We are leaving Saturday, so we have two full days left. Kayaking and more beach time Thursday, airboating on gator lake Friday. It will be over too soon!
Is there any rich ladies out there who would like to marry me so we can be on a continuous vacation together? I'm a lot of fun and a good cook too!

My frustrations were growing. The flood waters were not threatening my house, but the ways out of my rural setting were being ruled out as fast as I could think them up.
Then, I met my neighbor on the road...she shared the news. Her co-worker at the nursing home rounded a turn in the pre-dawn darkness while driving to work and plunged into six feet of water...just a few miles from my house.
She managed to get her two year old out before the car sank, but the current was too great and little Kate was swept away.
Suddenly, my frustrations seemed insignificant. So what if I didn't get on the road at the time I had planned. So what if I arrive late and don't have time to check into the hotel before the wedding rehearsal.
Please pray for Kate's mom Heather and Heather's boyfriend Shane. Shane grew up in the church I pastored for 14 years. I cant sleep. It's 4 AM. While I'm attending a wedding later today, they will be planning a funeral...

A two year old was swept from her mothers arms in the flood waters a few miles from my house and drowned a few hours ago. I'm not sharing names because all the family hasn't been contacted yet. As you can imagine, there is a distraught mother and family!
PLEASE pray for this family to be comforted!

"Hold Me Jesus"

"Hold Me Jesus" by Big Daddy Weave was playing on the radio this morning. I was impressed that someone on BC needs to hear these lyrics today:
Sometimes my life just don't make sense at all
When the mountain looks so big
And my faith just seems so small
So hold me Jesus, 'cause I'm shakin' like a leaf
You have been King of my Glory
Won't you be my Prince of Peace
When I wake up in the night I feel the dark
It's so hot inside my soul
I swear there must be blisters on my heart
So hold me Jesus, 'cause I'm shakin' like a leaf
You have been King of my Glory
Won't you be my Prince of Peace
Surrender don't come natural to me
I'd rather fight you for something I don't really want
Than to take what you give that I need
And I've beat my head against so many walls
I'm falling down, falling on my knees
God please
And the Salvation Army band is playing this hymn
And your grace rings out so deep
It makes my resistance seem so thin
So hold me Jesus, 'cause I'm shakin' like a leaf
You have been King of my Glory
Won't you be my Prince of Peace

In verse 3 of Colossians chapter 3, we are told, "For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God." Amen! He has given us a new identity - but that required death to self!
Then, in verses 8 and 9, we are instructed that there's some things we must do ourselves!
"But now, you yourselves are to put off all these: anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthly language out of your mouth. Do not lie to one another, since you have put off the old man with his deeds." Colossians 3:8,9
God doesn't do that for us, we have to consciously make the decision to be obedient to His word and put those things out of our lives.
Then in verses 12 and 13 we are told what to put on...or what to replace anger, wrath, etc. with.
"...put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering; bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against you; even as Christ forgave you, so you must do."
Seems to me like if we are doing what we are commanded to do, our corner of the world would be a much better place...

Is your life a channel of blessing?
Is the love of God flowing through you?
Are you telling the lost of the Savior?
Are you ready His service to do?
Make me a channel of blessing today,
Make me a channel of blessing, I pray;
My life possessing, my service blessing,
Make me a channel of blessing today.
Is your life a channel of blessing?
Are you burdened for those that are lost?
Have you urged upon those who are straying,
The Savior Who died on the cross?
Make me a channel of blessing today,
Make me a channel of blessing, I pray;
My life possessing, my service blessing,
Make me a channel of blessing today.
Is your life a channel of blessing?
Is it a daily telling for Him?
Have you spoken the Word of salvation
To those who are dying in sin?
Make me a channel of blessing today,
Make me a channel of blessing, I pray;
My life possessing, my service blessing,
Make me a channel of blessing today.
We cannot be channels of blessing
If our lives are not free from known sin;
We will barriers be and a hindrance
To those we are trying to win.
Make me a channel of blessing today,
Make me a channel of blessing, I pray;
My life possessing, my service blessing,
Make me a channel of blessing today.

I was contemplating today about some BC'ers that are no longer around for various reasons...Apostle, Untamedjoy, ForEwe, Chapscot, just to name a few.
How about we share some memories of those friends who are no longer on BC. Share a quote, or something special about them and what they are doing now if you know.
I'm feeling a bit nostalgic tonight...
