Currently, I have 972 comments on my blog. Comments are your input.
The person that enters the 1000th comment will get a $50 gift certificate to a local restaurant.
If you are from out of town…we will have to figure something out.
There will be no way (that I know of) for you to know how many comments are left.
So…lets see what happens.

Young Single Adults’ Psalm
1. I need direction and on my own I will just get lost.
Yet when I am lost, you are there. Like the father of the prodigal
son, you have an understanding love when I lose my way.
2. When I am overcome by frustration, you are a powerful calm.
3. You are a place to focus when I am distracted.
4. I fight you for control, and I always mess things up.
But you forgive me, and turn my mess into something good.
5. Sometimes I feel so far away from you, and it makes me
long for your presence. You are constant and your friendship
is unchanging. No matter how close to you I am,
I can never get enough of you.
6. Too often I look to you for answers, but in every problem,
I find that you are the answer.
7. You are the fresh air that I breathe and the comfort in
my distress over the mess that I have made, the wisdom where
I lack good judgment. You are my God. You are my everything.
Psalm of Jackie and Woody’s Group
OH THERE ARE NO WORDS TO DESCRIBE MY LOVE FOR YOU
LORD..
YOU HAVE BROUGHT ME TO THE LIGHT FROM
DARKNESS.
I THANK YOU LORD FOR NOT GIVING UP ON ME. EVEN
WHEN I GAVE UP ON MYSELF.
I WANTED TO LEAVE THIS WORLD, BUT I CALLED ONTO YOU, AND YOU OPENED THE DOOR TO MY
HEART.
NOW ALL I DO IS SAY ALL THE AMAZING THINGS
YOU HAVE DONE IN MY LIFE. I HAVE LEARNED TO HUMBLE
MYSELF AND FORGIVE.
AFTER ALL THE FIGHTING I FINALLY
FOUND MY FIRST LOVE.
EVEN THRU IT ALL,YOU WERE ALWAYS
WITH ME. ITS ALL BECAUSE THAT DAY I OPENED MY HEART AND
INVITED YOU IN.
I LOVE YOU LORD.

Saturday was…
Check out what Casey had to say…
So what happened? Well, first I would like to say, I want to attend a church that allows God to be God. Structure is good; a time frame and a plan are good but when God begins to move, I want to follow. So the worship pastor began singing a song based on Isaiah 6: 1-8 (Hey, look it up! ). The words closely matched the text. The course was “Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord of Hosts; the whole earth is full of His glory!”. It was just pure worship for lack of a better description. It was that moment when worship isn’t about us saying anything about us…only about Him. I love songs like “I am a friend of God”, but that is making it about me, not Him. So we were enjoying this moment of declaring God’s holiness. Pastor Robin invited anyone who wanted to know God in a new way to come to the front. When everyone had made their way down we had a time of repentance (when anyone comes into the presences of a Holy God, they must realize they are NOT holy – that is why Isaiah said “Woe is me, for I am a man of unclean lips” – he recognized his lack of holiness). Then we paired off and began declaring who God is. Yes, we declared aloud who God is. Everyone had something different to say. Maybe you had to be there. Pastor Robin then preached from Isaiah 6 – he told us that he had not shared with Jacob (worship pastor) what he was planning on preaching about…the song that lead to our spontaneous worship was not “planned” to coordinate with the message, rather it was all coordinated by the Holy Spirit. Pastor Robin preached one of the best sermons I have ever heard him preach – it wasn’t one of those take note, five point messages. (So if you weren’t there then you may want to get the DVD).
I’m not sure how the Sunday services went but Saturday was just what we needed…a good dose of pure worship.
