My Dad Died the Other Day

I will post a little more about this in the next few weeks after I have done a little more prcoessin gand grieving. Therefore I will probably be away from the blog for the next week or so. However, I might have a guest blogger take over for a little while. This has been a horrifying experience! My worst nightmare. I am now fatherless along with my sisters and my mother is a widow. The most healing aspect of all of this is the reality of my adoption in God! He has adopted me as His own son and given me that place of intimacy! When I have written more in my journal and processed more I will share my walk with you all. Please refer to my cousin's messages about the fatherhood of God. I preached a message on the 'Doctrine of Adoption' at Twin City about 2 years ago and I might find a way to post a link about it. Now I am really really living it and I love it. God is my daddy, my sister's daddy and my mother's true husband. In the meantime I want you all to have the link to my dad's obituaries here is the one in the paper: click here and here is the one on Casdorph and Curry's website: just click here.

Sunday School Highlights

This past Sunday we continued our journey through the book of Deuteronomy. We began to explore the first section of the book's summary statement 'God chooses His people, His people must choose Him.' Therefore, we studied the first aspect of how God chose the Israelites as His special people. It wasn't because of their righteousness but out of His love for them. Remember what kind of people they were? They were insignificant to the world, they were slaves turned vagabonds wondering in the desert. They were small and stiff-necked. All more the reason for God to turn from them, but no. He embraced them with love and showered them with grace. Just think of our own salvation. Each one of us has a past, has a history, has string of issues that follow us each day. That past tells us that we are like the Israelites, undeserving of the Lord's grace and love. Just take some time and meditate upon these verses, Eph. 1:3-4. What comes to your mind?
