Q.T. from the other day

Thought I would post this! It did my heart good!

The Place of Exaltation
. . . Jesus took . . . them up on a high mountain apart by themselves . . . —Mark 9:2

We have all experienced times of exaltation on the mountain, when we have seen things from God’s perspective and have wanted to stay there. But God will never allow us to stay there. The true test of our spiritual life is in exhibiting the power to descend from the mountain. If we only have the power to go up, something is wrong. It is a wonderful thing to be on the mountain with God, but a person only gets there so that he may later go down and lift up the demon-possessed people in the valley (see Mark 9:14-18 ). We are not made for the mountains, for sunrises, or for the other beautiful attractions in life— those are simply intended to be moments of inspiration. We are made for the valley and the ordinary things of life, and that is where we have to prove our stamina and strength. Yet our spiritual selfishness always wants repeated moments on the mountain. We feel that we could talk and live like perfect angels, if we could only stay on the mountaintop. Those times of exaltation are exceptional and they have their meaning in our life with God, but we must beware to prevent our spiritual selfishness from wanting to make them the only time.

We are inclined to think that everything that happens is to be turned into useful teaching. In actual fact, it is to be turned into something even better than teaching, namely, character. The mountaintop is not meant to teach us anything, it is meant to make us something. There is a terrible trap in always asking, "What’s the use of this experience?" We can never measure spiritual matters in that way. The moments on the mountaintop are rare moments, and they are meant for something in God’s purpose.

Sunday Night

Acts 13:36"For when David had served God's purpose in his own generation, he fell asleep; he was buried with his fathers and his body decayed.

Last night I took 25 students to see the Skit guys at FBC Clinton for The Call. It was a great time hanging with my students and get to know them better. The Skit guys did many funny skits that I was really familiar with. But something Hit me again last night during the David and Goliath skit. They were talking about David and they made this statement from God's word "David fulfilled his purpose for his generation and then died". I that verse on my headstone "Worm fulfilled his purpose for His generation and died". How wonderful it would be to stand before God and know you did what God created you to do. So tonight are you fulfilling your purpose?

Love ya,

By the way The Cubs lost broke my heart but hey what do you expect they are the Cubs!

Baseball

I love this time of the year! We have awesome college football, High School football, and my favorite, playoff baseball. I can't believe that I have both my favorite teams playing. In the American League, the Red Sox and in the National League, the Chicago Cubs. In 1997, I left my beloved Atlanta Braves and became a hard core Cubs fan. My dad, the next year, was diagnosed with kidney cancer. All we did was watch the "The Chase" (Mark McGuire and Sammy Sosa)! It is still probably some of the greatest memories of my father. I became a Red Sox fan in the summer of 1996 due to my old youth pastor, Brent. He loved the Red Sox, and I was a Cleavland Indians fan. He would tape the Red Sox games, and we began to watch them. The fans were awesome! They loved their team with such passion. The Green Monster, the hatred for the Yankee's. I was hooked.

So here I am, 12 years later cheering them on as both teams play in the Major League playoffs. The cubs are down 2-0 to the LA Dodgers. But something inside me says, as we head to LA, we are gonna take the next two. The Red Sox come in as the wild card. They are playing the LA Angels. We are up 1-0 on a great pitching performance from John Lester. I cannot wait for game 2 tonight. It is gonna be a good one.

I love this time of the year. It brings back many memories. I miss sharing them with my dad. But now, I am the Dad, and I have a little 2 year old daughter who loves to watch baseball with her daddy. We are gonna kick back tonight and make new memories as I tell her the stories of why baseball is the greatest game in all the world! So, on this October day in 2008, I miss ya dad. But I know you will be watching!

So to all you guys and gals who read this, begin to build memories with your families! Why not start tonight and cheer on the Boston Red Sox!
