Remember when you were young and someone would say, “don’t “assume” anything because it might make an…..” and then they would break down the word to explain the various outcomes?  Well, the same holds true today.  As we get closer to launching the new campus, and even beyond launch date, don’t assume that I know what’s going on or what has happened in this ministry area or that ministry area.  Chances are, I don’t.

 

Twice this week, a friend has called me to talk about something that he or she thought I had intimate knowledge of and found out that I had no idea anything was going on.  That is not necessarily a bad thing, unless of course (as my friend did) you expect me to do something about a certain situation.  If I don’t know, I can’t help.  That being said, if I am not part of the problem or part of the solution, I don’t want to know.  Anything or anyone that isn’t part of the problem or solution is just gossip.

 

BUT…if you need my help, or just want input, or if I’ve hurt your feelings, or if I am about to walk into traffic…please, tell me.  Let me know.  We must communicate at every level for the West Campus to be successful in fulfilling it’s mission of helping people on the west side of town find their way back to God.

Since election day I have been wide open and, apparently, too busy to blog.  November has been a blur and Thanksgiving is upon us.  My mind is running wild with all kinds of ideas but no time to put ‘em down.  Still trying to figure out the video thing too.  I will correct my errant ways in the next few days.

It’s finally here.  After what seems like 27 years of primaries and debates and other campaign stuff, Election Day is upon us.  Every American enjoys the right and the freedom to vote.  To pull the lever or touch the screen or punch the card for the person or people that they believe would do the best job at every level of government from local races to the race for the White House.

Whoever you support…whatever you believe…you must take the time and expend the energy to do your civic duty and VOTE!  If you don’t vote, you have no right to complain.

Regardless of tonight’s outcome, some will be happy and some will be mad.  It is inevitable. 

The good news in all of this is the fact that God is sovereign…and He alone is in control.  He gives us free will (much like the right to choose and vote for candidates) to make our own choices but He is still in control and nothing takes Him by surprise.  The Lord will not look at today’s election results and say, “Wow.  Never saw that comin’!”

Pray for this election.  Pray for our country.  Pray for our leaders…whoever they may be.
