Real Life at Mid-week

Today has been a busy Wednesday.  We have had an eventful few days after returning from Destin.  We arrived home at 10 pm Sunday night to discover our upstairs air conditioning unit was not working.  The temperature was 130 degrees in Jonathan’s room.  Needless to say, he slept on the couch a couple of nights until we got the AC repaired.  We borrowed a couple of fans to get the temperature down some.

Yesterday, our washing machine flooded in our laundry room, ran into the kitchen and into the pantry underneath the wall into the hall with carpet while Lisa was out with the boys and some friends swimming.  We are so smart that after I got in from the NWA Bible Conference around 8:30 pm; we decided to fill it up again so I could see it flood the house again.  There is more to all this story but I don’t have the time or energy to relive it. 

I do want to commend my good friend Stuart Bell at FBC Centerton for hosting this NWA Bible Conference.  He had great speakers who I have had the privilege of knowing most of them.  I was only able to hear Tom Elliff and Bob Pittman, but it was a blessing to be a part of what I could attend.  NWA is blessed to have a number of high quality churches and pastors who truly preach God’s Word.

Tonight, we had a parents meeting to talk through the Fall schedule and transition for our teenagers and Wade Tomlinson.  Wade has been with us for 5 1/2 years as our student pastor.  God has called he and Susan along with Addie Mae, Wesley, and Brooks to go to China and work with college students through the IMB.  It was my privilege to close out our prayer time for Wade.  Wade is an excellent speaker who I love to hear pray.  He has a kind and gentle spirit.  I am sure that I will have more to say about his departure as it approaches in December.  Wade is a good man who will be missed by many and I am one of the many.

The great thing about ministry is all the great people you get to serve along side in the journey.  It is a journey.  Nothing stays the same.  You are never sitting still.  Time moves, the earth revolves, culture changes.  Opportunities come and go.  God is the same yesterday, today, and forever.  His Word endures forever.  His Gospel does not change.  The kingdom is all about the King who says His kingdom is about people who need to change and His Word that never changes but is the instrument for change.  Until next time. . .Wes
