Safely there and back!
Well, we drove through a snow storm for a good amount of the way to Evansville today. A normally three hour trip, took about 5 hours. But, thankfully, we made it there safely. We had a good time there and it was good to see everyone. Also, it was nice to have Kelley and Anna with me. By the time we headed home, the snow was over and the roads were almost(99.9%) cleared. Anna slept most of the way both directions and that helped out a lot.
I am looking forward to tomorrow and what they Lord has in store. He is continuing to be faithful to us here at Amity. We will be having a Missions dinner tomorrow after service to raise money for March Missions. Please be in prayer for us, that we can continue to reach the unchurched and lost.
Work faithfully for Him who has called you.

Going good.
Things are going pretty good around here. Last Tues. night we had a District rally at the Sellersburg church. I think that there were 31 in attendance. I took Anna, as Kelley had been dealing with her all day and wasn't feeling the best when I got home. It was good to see everyone. On the way back home the snow was blowing really bad for about the first 20 miles. It was pretty hard to see, but after that things were better.
Saturday I went and took my CDL test. I passed so now I have my CDL license, which will be good for work. I failed the first time I took the test in January because I did one thing wrong. On a certain part of the test, you have to get every single part exactly right or you fail. I used two wrong numbers and failed. But, thankfully I passed this time, as it is not real cheap to take the test.
Saturday night at the mission in Indianapolis went pretty well. A man came up afterwards and talked to me for quite some time about his situation, which happened to be what a portion of the message was about. Please pray for this man as he is dealing with some unforgiveness towards a man in his past that has done a lot of damage to him.
Sunday we had an excellent Sunday School class. There was lots of discussion by everyone, bar one. The morning service went pretty well also. That afternoon I replaced the thermostat on my truck that went bad a little over a week ago. The first time that I had ever replaced a thermostat, but it seems that it fixed the problem, thank the Lord.

The Multitude or a Disciple
Are you a part of the Multitude, or have you become a disciple?
People that were a part of what I call the multitude(people around Jesus) were the people being ministered to. The disciples, DID the ministering, along with Jesus. Take the story of feeding the four thousand + in Matt. 15. Verse 36 says that Jesus gave the bread and fish to His disciples, and then THEY gave it to the people. The disciples went out and healed people(through the power that Christ had imparted to them), the multitude were the people being healed.
In some cases the multitude brought people to Jesus. In John 4, we see the woman at the well, brought the men of her town to Jesus. Yet, the disciples took Jesus(in spirit) to the people.
I want to be a disciple. In fact, we all need to be disciples. We need to be SERVING rather than being served. And we must be taking Jesus TO the people. We can try all we want to bring people to Jesus. Some will come, some will not. There is no guarantee they will come. However, we can guarantee to take Jesus to them, every single time, to every single person. If Christ is dwelling in us, operating in us, then every person we come into contact with, we are taking Him to Them. They may not come to Him, but we can always take Him to Them.

Wrapup of the week
Well, Anna's birthday was this week. She is officially one year old. We had a very small party Sat. with family(and one adopted grandparent). Kelley wanted to keep things very small, since we don't have a lot of room inside at our house. She did pretty good at the party, and played with pretty much everyone.
Friday night we had dinner with our neighbor and his family. We had a great time. Anna really loved the kids. At 6 months, they are a little young for her to do much playing, but she talked to them and kept pointing at them.
Church was good today. We had a good turnout at church this morning, with good discussion during the Sunday School class. The morning service went well also. This evening we had our BTI Study and followed that with the evening service. The evening service went pretty well. I had accidentally fallen asleep on the couch after we go back from eating and didn't get up until right before we left. I didn't really know if I would preach or not. One of those kind of times were I was just going to read some scripture and expound a little bit, but I guess the Lord had other plans. The message took a slight different turn, and I know at least one heart was touched. It definitely had nothing to do with anything I did, but I thank the Lord that He is willing to take what I am, and add everything, to come up with something. Thank you Lord for taking us in the direction you wanted.
