Good morning. Today begins the first full week of the new year. Leaving for Haiti in just 5 weeks. And then, maybe, my life will slow down a little. I don't think that things need to slow down as much as I need to speed up. The older I get, the harder it is to keep up and to catch up. It in not so much the energy but it is more the motivations. People just just run by without noticing!
Day 1700 - Living "MNTY" one day at a time. I think maybe that is the secret, the answer, - to live each day, each hour, each moment now! We can see how God worked in the past-now, and we are sure he will work in the future-now, but he only works in the present-now!
Today is Church. Pastor Phillip is starting a new series in Philippians - a letter of joy and commendation - unlike James. It will be good for the church to hear, the joyful side service. I need to get my desk area clean up a little (a lot) - it is a new year!
Yesterday was a good day. Finished all that I had to do at the Cooley's at both the townhouse and their new villa. Took most of the day but it is done! It all went well except that I could not get Ray's car in the garage - it is just too long. It would be too dangerous for them to drive it into the garage anyway. Maybe if they were to get a smaller car. Speaking of cars, mine is dead in the drive. Jim and Maridel McMahon have a nice car they want to sell us - but we just do not have any money. As long as my bike will start, I can still get around.
Tomorrow begins another busy week. I stopped in at the store Saturday afternoon and it is a real mess. We will be short handed too. I am already 'projecting' all kinds of problems! Maybe I can work a little more, a little harder, a little faster. Or maybe I will just do what everyone else is doing! No, I can't do that.
Spaghetti dinner Wednesday - have to keep reminding my self or I will forget. Hope to have a Team meeting tonight before church. Picking up the Cooleys at PBIA on Thursday evening at 6:00. CCA prayer time Saturday morning. Sunday is my I celebrate my 68th year - certainly never expected to get this old, but now that I am here - I want to keep going! Jean and Marv will be her on Monday the 12th - they are driving. They will be here for two weeks. Got to get ready!
MY RUDDER AND ANCHOR
Psalm 21:13 - Be exalted, O Lord, in Your own strength! We will sing and praise Your power.
Proverbs 4:23-27 - Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it spring the issues of life. Put away from you a deceitful mouth, and put perverse lips far from you. Let your eyes look straight ahead, and your eyelids look right before you. Ponder the path of your feet. and let all your ways be established. Do not turn to the right or the left; remove your foot from evil.
The Word is Alive in 1 - 5 (Reading Genesis 10-12) The human heart seeks a name for itself and has no desire to glorify God. The call of God demands that we make a choice. Even the closest ties of human loyalty or affection must be cut when they conflict with our submission to Christ and what is written in His word.

My Notes on "THE SUNDAY SERMON"
FOR TO ME, TO LIVE IS CHRIST!
"An Exposition of Paul's Letter to the Philippians"
(Acts 16: 12-40)
An Introduction and Overview
Joy is the effect
Unity is the entreaty
but
Jesus is the eternal Hope for our Joy and Unity!
For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain. for to you it has been granted for Christ's sake, not only to believe in Him, but also to suffer for His sake, experiencing the same conflict which you saw in me, and now hear to be in me.
(Phil 1:21,29,30)
Saved by Grace . . . Living by Faith,
Mike
