Sunday, October 12, 2008

Sunday was a pretty good day. Church was good all day. Our senior pastor was out of town preaching at an annual engagement at Metropolitan Baptist Church in Washington D.C. where Dr H. Beecher Hicks is the Senior Pastor. Dr. Hicks came to us back in June and really preached it was an awesome experience. On Sunday I preached the 10:00 am service at our North Campus. I preached out of I Kings 18 "D-Day Decision Day". Two people made a committement to Christ.

After service my wife and I went to dinner at Golden Corral. For those who know I don't eat out on Sunday but this was pretty good because we hadn't cooked and weren't going to. We only saw a few Beulahland members while dining and really enjoyed ourselves. We then went home to take a nap.

We were awoken by the arrival of our neices Kayla (2 years old) and Taylor (4 months). We baby sat while my sister took the rest of the family to the Georgia National Fair in Perry. They came with us to a concert at the church. The concert was entitled "A Step Back in Time". The concert featured some of Macon's finest community choirs from the 70s, 80s and 90s. They included the HV Johnson Singers, Melodic Voices, Young Angelics, Ultimate Choice, Gospel Movement, and HV Johnson Juniors. It was an awesome concert they sung 16 songs but the time flew by. We had a mishap and the memorial candles wax fell on the carpet but we got it up and there are no rements of such today. The day ended as it began in the presence of God.

Why Start a Blog

Why Blog? Why share my personal thoughts with the world?

It's simple yet complicated to discern the reason for this blog and the coming posts. There are several reasons to start blogging including improving my writing skills, learning to express myself through written word and i plan to use this a long term archive of events of my life for future reference.

i am not that great of a writer. In fact it could use some improvement to say the least. I have in the past written in a journal but throughout adulthood that practice has ceased and I now have to start back writing down my thoughts. As I continue my christian pilgrimage I know that writing and expressing myself will be tantamount to my continual success in ministry. I have to continue to develop the fundamentals of writing in order to perfect the skill. Therefore I'm starting to blog!

I have been told in the past that I'm a non expressive person. As a man I have been taught to avoid displaying emotions and feeling so its hard for me to express myself at times. I am now trying earnestly to better express myself. Let me add that it's not hard to tell how I feel but I am not expressive you just have to see me to know how I'm feeling. I plan to address that through this blog. That's why I'm starting to blog!

I plan to be used by God mightily through His Church and in the community. As the years past and I can no longer recall all the events of my life I want to be able to look back at this blog and recap the places I've been and the events of the ministry of that God has given me. I plan to use this as a tool to one day write my memoirs. This is why I'm starting to BLOG!!
