Worked up a sweat chiseling the pizza out of the pan. Can you say, “overdone”? It was still the best pizza I had all day (and the worst!)

Yesterday’s done and tomorrow may never come, but today’s a gift — that’s why it’s called the present.

If I don’t get to bed soon, there’ll be little point in trying — it’s already 5am and I have to be on a conference call at 10am.

Went to Wheatfield, IN to visit some friends and have dinner. Did all that and got to preach as well. A good day!

Enjoyed watching a half-dozen kids play “pile-up” in the yard today. (Is it still called “pile-up” nowadays? I’ve aged a bit.)

I just heard my awesome wife is making cotten candy for the carnival tonight — I think that’s cool!

I greatly appreciate my wife’s ability to bring the kids in line! Insanity often seems to reign when she’s gone.

Knows the house would stay clean if everyone would just clean up after themselves, but how do you teach pets and toddlers to do it?

The Place of Our Weakness and God's Manifestation

Sometimes we get to a place where we just don’t have the strength to go on anymore. We can’t quote any scriptures, we can’t even muster up a song of praise. Many a time we wind up at this point where we have done all we know to do but in doing we find ourselves empty and maybe even confused. Maybe it’s because God didn’t answer a prayer quick enough or maybe not at all. Maybe the thing that you thought was your sure ticket to financial freedom falls through and now you don’t know how He can come through.

It is at this place....., THERE at your present weakness, that after having done all to stand you simply stand. It is THERE that God promised to meet you and to be everything you need Him to be. You know that dreadful place I speak of,.....“The end of your self” the end of your understanding. Yes it is THERE that He shows up.

Don’t quit, don’t leave, don’t jump ship, don’t bail out.....JUST STAND!

In the old testament God called Himself “I AM” which is a Hebrew idiom for “when you get THERE I will be THERE”. So if you are THERE, don’t get down but one more time trust and believe because you are closer to your miracle than you ever dreamed!
