Weekly Rundown (12.21.08)

• Today we talked about Mary, focusing in on the incredible humility she had to possess in order to be "possessed" (literally) by God.  Mary is one of my favorite people in all Scripture. 


• Don't forget our Christmas Eve services on Wednesday: Calhoun @ 5:00 pm in the Civic Auditorium; Dalton @ either 4:30 or 5:45 pm in the Wink!


• Ate my first Christmas meal on Saturday night with some of Beth's family.  It was awesome while I was eating but not after I was finished ... kind of like sin isn't it? Feels good for a short while and then ... "Oh my gosh, what have I done?"


• We had an amazing Elders meeting this past week!! The wisdom and faith of those men are amazing.  Rock Bridge, we are blessed to be guided and guarded by our Elders!!  In this meeting we really talked and prayed about where we believe our church can go and what it will take to get there.  For one thing, it will take us all seeking God like crazy to make us like His Son, use us to reach unchurched people, and to make Jesus famous in NW Georgia!!


• Navy lost their bowl game to Wake Forest ... but a great season regardless for the middies.


• Beth and I will be doing some snow skiing this week up at Sugar Mountain, NC. 


• We've started working on our message series for the new year.  It's going to be called, "WOVEN", ... we're going to look at how God 'weaves' Himself in and through everything that happens to us, asking the question, "What if we looked for the thread of God in all our relationships, circumstances, and life events?"  I think it is going to be a powerful series!  Be praying NOW and start asking unchurched friends NOW to join you at church in 2009!!
