Randy's Ramblings

Talk about busy weekend. I sometimes wish that there were 3 days in a weekend.

Saturday ECC had the Living Faith food and clothing give away. We gave food and clothes to 26 families in the North Daviess area. That means that 101 people will have a better thanksgiving because of this ministry. What was really awesome is that in the few weeks before the give away we asked for the ECC family to donate a total of 30 turkeys for the give away. The final total of turkeys donated was 36. I am blown away by that, and in the coming weeks we are going to host a community dinner for anyone who would like to come in and eat and fellowship.

I feel like the current message series the Jesus Language is going real well. Of course we think of Jesus as a great teacher and preacher, but when we look at his actions, we see that He did not just talk about what we should be doing as His people, but he showed us by example. My continous prayer through out this series is that all of the family at ECC will begin to speak the Jesus Language.

Sunday afternoon ECC had 7 folks go to the nursing home in Odon to lead their church service. It is great that we had these 7 servants go out and show the love of Jesus to the residents at Ketcham. I will be the first to admit that there are times that I dread things like that at times, but when I listen to God instead of fighting what he want, He always blesses me. (I certainly do not deserve that blessing, but thankfully He blesses me regardless of my unworthyness.)

Then Sunday night we had a huge crowd out for our Thanksgiving dinner. I don't know how many were there, but I do know that we had to set up more tables and get chairs from classrooms. Of course the food was great and we even had enough to deliver a plate to some of the senior folks who don't get out as often as they would like.

I never thought I would ever say this, but after a big weekend like last weekend, I thank God for Monday.
