Today's Sermon is on All Saints Day-
and the universal, "ordinary goal of Christian Life"
14 min. YouTube Video link below:
"We all Wake up everyday, hungry and thirsty for something".
Ask yourself - what do I want from today?
A Saint rises hungry and thirty for righteousness".
For blessed are the Peace makers.
Not sure that I will get around to listening to the message.
BUT, the sentiment is intelligent, IMO.
For example, I dislike (and distrust) the perspective of “God has a plan for your life.”
I much prefer to say, “You are a PART of God’s plan.” Of course that only applies to those who have trusted in the finished work of the Lord Jesus Christ; and that is how I explain it when I say it.

Thank you all very much for your birthday wishes! I had a great day and a great birthday dinner (T-bone steak)!
God bless,

To ALL, let’s get this Freepathon over before Thanksgiving and double the contributions. Robinson family needs help due to health issues.
Respectfully, your life is about you.
The choices you make in life determine the direction of your life.
If I had listened to my pastor 45 years ago, I would be poor, struggling from day to day and not ready for the reality of retirement.
Just like the pastor who gave me advice 45 years ago.
Life is a choice so make the best one you can.
A spouse divorces- or may even die?
A child is born with special needs- or gets diagnosed with cancer?
One may suffer a personal injury? or a personal illness?
Life can change on a dime... if one thinks they can go through
life controlling their outcome- than they will be in for a lot of surprises.
Now if one's goal in life is to retire comfortably...
than that's a focus yes, that can be managed all life long.
To be Christian though,
means to know we were not put on this earth to simply... retire.
