Life's Green Beans

Sometimes life throws you a green bean. For those of us that do not like green beans know what its like to see your plate and all there is left to eat is the green beens. You've eaten the meat and enjoyed the potatoes because that part you like, but now, you don't have anything else left but those green beans. The worst part is that you haven't left any of the other food to help mix with and mask the taste. You know they are good for you, but you just don't like to eat them.

The Pastor said it best this Sunday when he used this analogy for parts of the Bible. You don't always like what the Bible has to say, but you take it, and digest it because God knows what's good for us.

I can think of many times life has presented me with a bowl of green beans and because I dealt with it and overcame the situation I am a better person for it. If your dealing with your plate of green beans, don't stare at the plate, don't try to ignore them, just eat them and know that it will make you stronger.

Hello Visitors

Well this is the first post of many - I hope. After a meeting with Pastor Dan it looks like we will be building a new control room for the sanctuary. I have to tell you I am pretty excited about all the new things happening around the church.

I know we all have a life outside the church with many things to do and the pressure of today's society keeps us locked up at home. It warms my heart when I can work on a project outside the house with people who motivate and lift me up. I know one single person cannot do it all, I would never ask anybody to anything that I myself would not do. We all lead by example and when you see your brothers and sisters working hard and struggling the Holy Spirit will command you to join in so that you will not miss an opportunity of fellowship.
