Description:
I'm one of the pastors here at Smokey Point Community Church and they allow me to have the responsibility and privilege of overseeing budgets, buildings, publications, communication, "other duties as assigned by the Lead Pastor," planning, office staff, maintenance staff, and some other stuff. Of course, this does not mean that the leadership team (or you) agree with everything I post here. It's just my opinion. So consider yourself warned! ;-)
I post this article not to brag on our church. Ok, maybe I do. But while many of you know the story, many of you do not. Read the last sentence in this article from the Arlington Times.
I've been preparing for facilitating the Financial Peace University course coming up on May 28. I was checking out a few things on Dave Ramsey's website, and ran accross this inspiring story about a guy who just had his power turned off. Dave gave him some great counsel that may be good for you or someone you know.
In July, Lord willing, we'll be having our fourth child. We know a few families with four kids, and one of them seems to have an incident almost weekly with other people's "dismay" over the sheer quantinity of thier children--as if they lived too close to a stork farm or something. Kids come via something much better than storks...
