easter

just a couple cool thoughts from good friday.

1. my second son, Alexander, started crawling today....i was so fired up that i was here to see it and i actually got it on camera. watching your children grow, progress, develop is truly one of the great gifts of parenting.

2. last night about 75 people gathered at the annex to watch the passion and pray and worship. it was awesome. i crashed at about 1am but one thing stands out. as Jesus was scourged and whipped, my heart could only say one thing...."by His stripes, by His stripes....we are healed". what a thought.

3. the harvest never waits. whether we are ready or not, the harvest comes and ends. we can't tell it when to start, we can't make it last longer. it doesn't go on vacation, or wait for our lives to be perfect. like water flows to the lowest point, the harvest advances unrelenting, the only question is will the laborers be ready? ...in just a few hours we'll have our first Easter service....as well as churches around the world...will we be ready for the harvest?

RESUE THE PERISHING!
