Wow...it's Sunday again already
Greetings. I can't believe it's Sunday again. This week has flown by. Sorry for about not updating more often. This week the power has been aweful. This situation (the lack of power, that is) is getting a little annoying. We had no power on Tuesday (regular power-off day) but then Wednesday we also didn't have power because there was a problem with the lines. Then on Thursday we didn't have power because it was power-off day again. One of the missionary ladies from the church got married yesterday so her friends and family were staying at this house. Laundry was pretty much piled to the roof. I finally got my clothes back today.
These last few days have been a blur. Friday afternoon was choir practice for church this morning. Then Friday night there was a pre-wedding party with the groom's family (he's Ugandan). That went until about 9:30 or so. The wedding took place at 10 AM Saturday morning with the reception starting at 2. The reception lasted until 4:30. Then we had choir practice again until 5:30. Then I had to print off the song sheets for the choir. This morning I woke up at 5:30 so I could get to church on time for the services this morning. At 3 PM there was a meeting at church explaining the various opportunities people have to get involved at the church. That lasted untill 6:30 so I didn't get home until 7.
Today's sermon was about 2 Timothy 4:6-the end. Pastor Brian spoke about Paul's farewell. Paul's life was coming to an end and Paul said that he had fought the good fight, he had run the race. His life had been poured out like a drink offering before God. A drink offering was an OT offering where a cup of wine would be poured out before God. The cup would be turned upsidedown in order that all of the wine would be offered to God. That is how our lives should be. Totally commited to God's cause and totally surrendering our lives to God. Paul's friends forsook him because of this. But God didn't abandon him. God gave Him strength and upheld him. Without God upholding us, we would perish. But with God's strength we can do all things. Praise GOd for His grace that He gives freely to us.
