I am sorry that I did not get a blog posted for last week. The reason was not that I was too busy or on vacation. It was simply that I am having some problems with my Microsoft Word software. Unfortunately, the "cut and paste" function is not working correctly these days. It seems like we are having a problem with a number of our technological gadgets lately around our house. The GPS in my truck is not working because the GPS has a connection problem with the car charger. My wife, Ann, is having problems with her laptop. And then there is her cell phone that was run over by a car. That is a story in itself.
Sometimes, things do not work correctly. The car will not start or it does not run well. The washer is broken...the lawn mower will not run... the water in the sink will not drain. Things are not the only things that do not work well sometimes. Sometimes, I do not work so well. While the aches and pains of this body remind me that I am not working so well, too often it is more than just body function that does not work well. Sometimes, I do not work so well at this task of being a follower of Jesus. James 2 tells me: "faith without works is dead." Sometimes, I am more talk than action when it comes to being a follower of Jesus. Oh, to not just talk the talk of following Jesus, but to also walk the walk. With the grace of God and the help of the Spirit, I am going to be working on being a better follower of Jesus. In the meantime, anyone know how to fix the "cut and paste" function in Microsoft Word or the name of a good, reasonably priced computer repair person? Have a joy-filled week. - Pastor Randy Wall
Prayer: Gracious God, forgive me for the times that I don't show the love of Christ that is in my heart. Mold me and make me a better reflection of your love; through Christ our Lord. Amen.
