Number two

Hi. It has come to my attention that if you want to post on here you need to have an account so I guess I'm really just typing for my own good. Since most of the ones I'm typing this information for won't be able to post a comment. Well, maybe you could just sign up? I know I would love to hear from you if you ever get the chance.
Tonight was interesting (10/23). The first hour or so was fine and needed but I loved the last 20 minutes and eating at Rosa's. Except for setting off the alarm...OOPS, sorry Tamy. It was wonderful to listen as a wedding was being talked about and planned and it was so good to talk to a couple about their spiritual lives and making time for each other and the Lord. Helping someone in a real, simple and authentic way is so rewarding. Why don't we do it more? This morning I was in Matthew 25 reading about the parable of the talents. In this parable about gifts given to us, Jesus says that the gifts are given "according to our ability". Not our readiness, nor our perfection but very much according to what we already have. Tonight we didn't go to the school of wedding planning or the school of how to offer advice to people about their spiritual life. We just gave what we had, from what we've known, drawn from a place where we have been before and what was so great is that WE GAVE. I'll paraphrase what Jesus says; "To those who give, even if it's from the little that they have MORE will be given". I will pray that EPIC will be a place where we give, when we have very little and when we have so much. I will pray that YOU will be a person who gives, when you have a little and when you have a lot.
