Pastor's thots

Okay, how’s your faith in God? Are you surprised when God answers your prayers and thing work out well? Well, I would say I flunked the test this week. I prayed about a school problem, made all the arrangement for when God didn’t work things out. I even went to face my accusers. Then God answered my prayer. I felt excited God worked things out but then felt guilty for doubting His ability. Is there a lesson to learn from this? Why am I such a slow learner? How about you? Are you believing or doubting?

God created us in His image. When God finished creating us He saw what He had done and the Bible said “it was very good.” That’s us, we were created very good. As very good created beings, we have a variety of characteristics. One of those characteristics is we are emotional beings. So our emotions are good. my doctoral professor did not give me the good news I was expecting last night so I am experiencing a lot of good emotions last right now. As these warm fussy feeling, well maybe not warm fuzzy, but as whatever they are creep over me , I wonder what should I do with them. It seems I have two choices, I can let these emotions that God created and called very good control me, which is really what I want to do, or I can control these emotions with the goal in mind to honor God in all I do. With all of life’s ups and downs, we face that same decision; do we do what seems to come natural or do we choose to honor God. Presently I am looking up a former church member who worked for “the mob,” he tells me for the right price the bad news can be changed to good news. Which way to go?

Does it do any good to preach? Most of the time I would have to say no. but at least it offers a venue for expressing your opinion. So I’m not sure if this is a sermon or an opinion. I readily admit I’m a dinosaur. For whatever reason, I’m a little behind in the times. I just this week got on Facebook. I don’t know how to Skype, I don’t do texting, I don’t know what
