Time to Blog

Time to Blog,

Sorry about last week, computer problems and couldn't do it. I wanted to take you through a couple of great weeks with God. Thursday was the best, Lisa got saved in my office. I had the joy of leading her to Christ, that was great. We had staff planning Monday thru Wednesday and wow what a great group of pastors and staff to serve with. You would have been blessed to listen to the conversation among our young pastors, they are all unique and awesome. It is a lot of work to put an entire year together. Overlapping all of the church's without causing problems is a task. I serve with some wonderful campus pastors that love our God. You will be excited at the plans for the ministries in 2008. HIM ministry is moving forward and will have a National Headquarters soon.

Things are going just as we told you with the sound issues and I want to remind you to love people and do not respond to the media. I will do that as the shepherd. I love being your shepherd, have I told you that lately. Friday I spoke at a wonderful mans funeral, Jake is the best and I will miss him. What an honour to speak about a good man. Friday afternoon Carole and I picked up our son Isaiah at the airport and he is home, I love it. Caleb and Sierra come home Tuesday. We are going to have a great Thanksgiving. I hope you and your have the same, don't eat too much turkey!!!

Your Friend, Pastor Jim

November is here...

I cannot believe November is already here. I want to thank so many of you for blessing me on my birthday. Susan Harvey, you make the greatest pumpkin pie in the world. Thanks for the cards, calls, e-mails and gifts that were all appreciated. I have spent my last many birthdays with kids, I love that. Faith has a giant party on the 31st and hundreds of kids come, Carole and I always spend that night with those kids and families and we love it. My birthday was a busy day, it began with speaking at Waterford Christian Academy and that was great. I spoke at a funeral of a 99 year old women and listened as her granddaughter spoke about an incredible lady. My boys called from Florida, North Dakota and China. My brother Steve called from Ohio and we shared blessings of the ministry. His new church launched their Sunday church this week and they had over 800, wow, God is using Steve and I love it. My best present came from my son Josh, he is singing in China and we heard he stole the crowd at a stadium sing, but when I asked Josh about it he never even mentioned the crowd. He wanted to tell me about singing Holy, Holy, Holy in a little Chinese church with some people, he just sobbed trying to tell me about it. That blessed me so. To think, it wasn't the crowd but to share the Holiness of God with some Chinese believers. Well, now we move toward Thanksgiving and there isn't a pastor in American who has more to be thankful for than me.
