Jacob, Lori, Jessebeth, Hudson, and Mabel
I am going to tell you the thoughts that go through my mind…
Last night, we discussed the Lowery family heading off to Nashville, TN. This is a big step of faith for them. It will mean new changes around here for us at PromiseLand.
It is difficult to see them leave the church (and state). We are so thankful that they have spent 5 years with us in San Marcos. Because of their loving family, our church has had great PromiseGroup leaders, Worship leader, Children’s ministry leader, friends, supporters, accountability partners.
What this means is that others will take some of these responsibilities, but no one should try to be Jacob or Lori. Nor should we expect others filling their places to be Jacob or Lori. There will be ample opportunities to say, “That is not the way Jacob used to do it!”
On the other hand, we are making a commitment to all our congregation that we are going to diligently seek God for the new Worship Leader of PromiseLand San Marcos. There are some big shoes to fill, but God has a great plan for us. Start opening your mind and heart to this new step for us.
Over the next few weeks, express your love and affection for the Lowerys. Take them dinner, give them money, give them a letter of encouragement, a thank-you card, or some other creative way to express yourself.

Have you read this before?
If I had my life to live over, I’d try to make more mistakes next time. I would relax. I would limber up. I would be sillier than I have been on this trip. I would be crazier. I would be less hygienic. I would take more chances. I would take more trips. I would climb more mountains, swim more rivers, watch more sunsets.
I would eat more ice cream and less beans.
I would have more real troubles and fewer imaginary ones. You see, I am one of these people who lives prophylactically and sensibly and sanely, hour after hour, day after day.
Oh, I have had my moments and, if I had it to do over again, I’d have more of them. In fact, I’d try to have nothing else – just moments, one after another, instead of living so many years ahead each day.
I have been one of those people who never goes anywhere without a thermometer, a hot water bottle, a gargle, a raincoat and a parachute.
If I had it to do over again, I would go and do and travel lighter.
If I had my life to live over, I would start barefooted earlier in the spring and stay that way until later in the fall. I would play hooky more. I would ride on more merry-go-rounds.
I’d pick more daisies.
Big Weekend
I am eager to see all of your PSMers this weekend. I am heading to a conference in Houston on Friday but will be back on Friday night.
We have services Saturday 6pm, Sunday 9am and 11am. After church Sunday, I leave for Houston again to preach at an “all Spanish” church. (I will have a translator)
