a personal best in the sneezing catagory

i think I've sneezed more in the past 24 hours than I have my whole life.  God's grace was sufficient though The sneezing ceased when I was preaching. Of course I started again after the invitation. Now if I preached all day that would solve the problem. Right? Seriously though, I did sense grace from God to finish the message. I told the congregation that I've felt like two angels were dancing on the sneeze button in my sinuses.

This morning we sang for about 25 minutes and I preached around 15 minutes. But it was a very rich morning. I have lot's of mixed emotions about northside finding a pastor:-)

I had lunch at the McMurry's house. Wonderful, wonderful people. If I have to blow my diet again (like I did today) their home is the ideal place to do it.

Hey Matt, Thanks for Sunday. You are a breathe of fresh air each week. I am so glad that we get to experience God through you at Northside. I also love Phillipians and look forward to what God will say through you. It is so cool to hear someone else simply expound the word as you do on Sunday nights. Oh, if the others could learn to be fed, they would come in droves, alas they are content on one feeding a week. If only they could see the problem with that. I pray as you said that the growth will come.
