Friday Thoughts

February 13, 2009 by Gilbert Leave a Comment

  • Turns out that not only did I lose a lot of sleep on Wednesday night, but we lost a bunch of our shutters as well.
  • Late Thursday morning I started finding them and kept chasing after them for quite a distance.
  • By the time I had collected them all, I had 7-8 under my arms, but I had to walk into the wind.
  • I might as well have been an airplane…for every 3 steps forward, I got blown back 2.
  • Now I’ve got to file insurance claims and all that good stuff…great…like I don’t have anything else to do.
  • Speaking of airplanes, I was a bit shaken up by the crash this morning in Buffalo.
  • I have flown into that airport at least 8-10 times, sometimes under icy conditions like they had today.
  • I’m quite thankful that in the hundreds of flights I’ve been on, only 1 ever had some sort of emergency.
  • Speaking of emergencies…attention guys reading this blog…tomorrow is Valentine’s Day…if you don’t want to be killed, make sure you’re doing something nice for your sweetie.
  • Had a great time speaking last night at the prison…about a dozen guys showed up and I shared with them the message from the Pursuit series on Overcoming Adversity.  They really got into it and 2 guys got saved!
  • Ok…one final shout out asking you to please, please, please, invite someone to come with you this weekend.  I believe this is going to be a very freeing message for so many and lives can truly be changed.
  • Also don’t forget that at 10am we will be doing baptisms in the sanctuary…this means the 9:15 United will be dismissed early and those that normally come at 10:45 should show up early.
