Last Sunday, Jerry preached a fabulous lesson patience. In the middle of the lesson, Jerry comedically stated that our current administration could learn patience.
Look at the current article title by Reuters.
Bush warns Iraqis that patience has limits
I thought is interesting that our administration says that patience has limits.
Here is a link to the text of the sermon:
Patience
Tell me what you think.

Monday Night Football
One of the greatest NFL games I have ever seen in my life. A total melt down on the Cardinals part and an astonishing defensive comeback by the bears.
If you missed this game, I feel for you. I still can't believe it!

12
12 was my number in high school. Every time I signed my name, I added the #12 to the end. It became part of my autograph. It's in other people's yearbooks, all my high school memorabilia.
I could try to spiritualize that an 18 year old boy was identifying himself with discipleship but I won't. Honestly, I don't think I was that smart or even dedicated to God.
But, now I am looking for 11 other people so dedicated to God that they would be willing to do anything God desires. I do not so much care about how big a congregation is anymore. 200, 300, or 400 people who just come on Sunday are not really for me any more. Give me 11 people and we will go make a difference. I want to be associated with people who want to take spirituality and faith for real. I want to be with people who are tired of doing church (or religion) and just desire to be were God is in the community among the drunkards, the drug addicts and the prostitutes. Anybody esle desire this?
12!

NYMS
Northwest Youth Ministry Seminar starts on Thursday. I am heading down to Portland tomorrow to make sure everything is ready. Pick up Scott Adair tomorrow and Randy Harris on Thursday. It is going to be a great weekend! I am looking forward to it. The relationships youth pastors have together is unlike anything else. I love to hang out with youth pastors!
