Good Lord’s Day, Seven...my folks celebrated 67 years this year....I think anyone staying together that long has ups and downs.

It was quite late when I came in. I went to my grandsons end of the season football game. The BIG RIVAL game! They got their clocks cleaned bad! lol. But, it was fun to watch him personally. He played really well!

He doesn't get taken down much as he is 5'10", weighs 220 and is only 14! JV will only be this year, next year he'll play Varsity!

Football ended and Wrestling begins on Monday! OH, BOY!

[luvie]

Sounds like a good time was had...except for the loss! He’s
a big guy...and likes to try lots of combative sports. I’ll
bet gramma wishes he wasn’t quite so physical! LOL!

Glad he, at least, had a good evening of play!

I think anyone staying together that long has ups and downs.

You are so right! Marriage is sometimes hard but, either alternative is even harder!

[Kathy in Alaska]

And we thank your hubby for his service to our country.

[oldteen]

Both his sisters were quite athletic as well so it runs in the family. I do worry sometimes about the physical things he does tho. But, he's been wrestling since 4th grade so it is second nature to him!

EXCEPT, when he was in 7th grade...he weighed 170 and had to wrestle a kid who was a Jr. and weighted 250. Yep, he lost! LOL

[oldteen]

Thank you, Kathy! :)

[luvie]

LOL! It’s a wonder he lived to tell that tale! I’m glad he
grew bigger since he likes to get “down and dirty”! LOL!

God’s Presence At Church
November 7, 2010

I love reading church slogans. You know, the ones you see on the marquee in front of churches. Recently I noticed a slogan that said, “Come in and experience the presence of God.” That one caught my attention, primarily because it’s an important promise to make and sometimes a hard promise to keep. Hard, because if we’re not careful our churches might reflect the presence of its people more than the presence of our God.

So what would a church have to do to display the presence of God? Its people would have to live like Him! Dynamics like hospitality, the loving acceptance of all kinds of people, a quickness to serve, a tangible love for one another that makes people feel safe and included regardless of color or class, and a patient tolerance of one another’s weaknesses would all be a great way to start. Paul said we should walk in a manner “worthy of the Lord” (Col. 1:10). And he also said that being worthy means that we will be humble, gentle, bearing with one another in love, eagerly maintaining the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace (Eph. 4:2-3).

Let’s live in such a way that others will experience the presence of the God who lives in us—wherever we are, but especially at church.

The world gets a glimpse of God
When those who claim to be
The followers of Jesus Christ
Are living righteously. —Sper

Those who walk with Christ
bring the presence of God to everyone around them.

Read: Colossians 1:9-14

Walk worthy of the Lord. —Colossians 1:10

Bible in a year:
Jeremiah 40-42; Hebrews 4

He’s not a fragile one, that’s for sure! LOL

[Kathy in Alaska]

Ouchie! Did you lose the whole bush, or did the trim job work?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Congratulations to your grandson on his personal play.

My goodness, and wrestling starts Monday. He’s a busy boy!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Yikes!! 170 vs 250....I thought they wresting by weight class??? No???

[oldteen]

The only bad part of his sports is....we do not have a HS in our little town so all the kids go to school in the next town...21 miles away. No bus to ride home after practice so someone always has to go get him!

But, when the girls did it, Mom and Dad provided so now they have to do it for him. Only fair! :)

[oldteen]

The do go by weight class. The class he was in at the time was...170 and over...lol.
