By Faith
Well friends, I know it's been a couple days since my one and only post, so I figured I better post again otherwise you'll never come back to read it. So here it is...my illustrious second post...I haven't had many thoughts in the last couple days, but something that i have been learning a lot lately is to live by faith. In Hebrews 11 it talks about how noah built the ark before he saw a drop of water...by faith; Abraham obeyed and went where he didn't know he was going...by faith; by faith Jacob worshiped as he was dying...bye faith Moses chose to be among his people...the people of God, rather than enjoy the pleasures of sin for a short time...by faith...by faith...by faith...WOW!!! When I look at all those 'supermen' of faith, I tend to sometimes think, "man, I'll never be there." But then I think, "It doesn't matter if I change the course of the world, or that I become some big public Christian superhero...I can be who I am, using the gifts God has given me, and in that become important to some people, and build them up..." When I was a kid, I used to think that God was going to do something great with me...although my thoughts were more in the public eye, and of changing the world, I still think that God can do great things with me, if I let Him free inside of me. Anyways I am easily distracted, and someone just called me about work stuff so it looks like this posting is about done. One last thought...I have been thinking the last few days about eagles, and the thought of flying within a ministry...just letting loose, not holding anything back and givin' er...I am often too scared to let loose, partly because I feel inadequate, and partly because I know the bigger I try and grow my ministry, the more responsibility is there and the more work it entails...in time...in time I will let loose. Anyways even if no one reads this it has at least got me thinking...
Peace,

Hey Bro, love the thoughts and I hope that you do let loose and fly to the heights that God will take you. You have so much to offer the world in ministry. You have a heart for people and a mind unlike any other I've ever known. You make me very proud to be your big brother. I'll keep praying for you that you will fly!!
Keep up the blogging, you're great at it!
hey, so i have never entered or even see a blog so here it goes... I just had to respond because what you were talking about letting lose and having faith i just discussed with my good friend Linda. Have you ever read the book that is titled something like, If you want to walk on water you have to step out of the boat? Well she was raving about this book and how spiritually challanging it was, dealing with faith and such and i really want to read it! and thoght that you might be interested too, Anyway hope i did this right and i'll..... blog you later??

Christians ARE superheroes. Most have just stopped using their God given supernatural powers and authority.
