Tuesday Thoughts

I am just about finished with my 12 week Bible study which has challenged me in many ways. If you recall I posted several thoughts way back when. Today I want to share something with you that God has dealt with me over the last week or so.

Why are we here and what are we suppose to do each day of our lives?
I often go home and think at night this very question. Then these three things hit me based on 2 Peter 3:18.

"Grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory both now and forever.

1. Grow in grace. We are to grow in grace each day we live. One way for us to grow in God's grace is for us to be gracious to others. No matter what they have or have not done, how good or bad they have treated us, we are to be gracious to others. I pray that I will do this each day even though some days it will be tough.

2. Grow in knowledge. This can be done in many ways, but the easy way to do this is simply open our Bible and read it. The reason many of us are not growing in Christ is because we have neglected this part of our relationship with Christ.

3. Glorify Him. We are to glorify Him with our thoughts, emotions, and behavior. We must start everyday with the intentions of glorifying Christ in everything that we do. When we grow in grace and knowledge, then we will find that it is really easy to glorify God in everything that we do.

I hate baby blue

For those of you that don't know by now, UNC beat Duke last night. So, not only did I lose a hour of sleep, but I had to go to bed knowing that UNC beat Duke again on senior night.

UNC lead most of the game with Duke making a comeback in the second half to tie the game and then take the lead. The lead did not last long as UNC would tie the score again and then take the lead for good. The win makes UNC the ACC regular season champs with Duke coming in second.

Next up for both teams is the ACC tourney which should see them both in the final game next Sunday.

The one bright spot from yesterday was the USC baseball team improved to 7-2 with a 10-2 win.

See you on the flip side.

Dang Its Saturday

Where in the world did this past week go?

I am sitting on my couch getting ready for the big game tonight and realized it was Saturday and I haven't had a post on here since Wednesday.

So here you go.

Tonight marks the biggest game of the basketball season when UNC travels 8 miles down the road to take on Duke.

I will recap the game with my thoughts tomorrow.

Until then..........Go Duke!!!!

Wild Wednesday

Great Day and I hope all is well with you and your family.

Thank God for the rain. As you know we have needed the rain for a long time and last night God just opened up the heavens and poured it down on us.

As the rain fell from the sky last night, I was reminded that just as we needed the physical rain, so do we need the spiritual rain. If ever a time in our personal lives and in the life of the church in America, we need God to pour down his spiritual rain. What exactly does that mean?

It simply means that we need revival. First let me tell you that revival is not people getting saved. Revival is God's people getting right with him. It's Christians realizing that they have not been living the life that God has called them to live, falling on their face in repentance, and putting God back in his rightful place in their lives. When this happens people will see the difference in our lives and want to come to Christ based on the way we live our lives.

Thanks Be Unto God

Wow what a week. Just wanted to take this time and give a big praise to our great God for his provisions this week.
And thank God for extended warranty's. I got my car back on Friday and everything is working fine. Total bill was over $1000 dollars, but again thanks to the warranty I only had to pay $50.

Today has been a good day as well. USC killed Clemson in baseball 10-1 and I got to hit that little white ball around the golf course.

I hope next week was better than this one.

Until then..............
