FIRST 2009 POST!!!

Wow! One week into February already and this is my first post of the year! I suppose that's not too odd for me :)

Just though I'd let you know that I'm still kickin' and that things are going nicely down here in Newnan, GA.

How's everyone's 2009 so far?

    I just realized recently that you are only about 3 weeks ahead of Maryandra! Isn't that cool? So much time between your announcement and hers it took me a while to realize. She was 19 weeks on Tuesday.

    Still cold up there. It's been cold but sunny here today. If it must be cold, at least the sun is showing itself. I was in WV last week for a meeting and got all the winter weather I care to have this season. I'm ready for Spring. We're supposed to be in the 60s this weekend :) "Hi" to the fam!

CHEERS :)

SHEPHERDS

My sermon this past Sunday looked at the task, or job, of the elders of a local congregation. I jumped off of 1 Peter 5:1-4 where Peter tells the elders to whom he is speaking to "shepherd the flock." To show what God expects a shepherd of His people to do for "the flock" I used an O.T. passage. My father drew my attention to this passage a couple of years ago and, before he did, I had not been aware of it. It shows the nature of the shepherds'/ elders' work beautifully. I'm thinking it may be an obscure passage, not that well known. Maybe not, though. Just for fun, do you know the O.T. chapter I'm speaking of that describes bad shepherds and the True Shepherd? (Hint: It's not Psalm 23!)

No asking people who heard the sermon either ;)

GO DAVID! EZEKIEL 34 IS THE CHAPTER! SUCH A BEAUTIFUL PASSAGE!

    Not sure of the chapter, but I'm going to guess something in Jermiah.
