Dear E-Flash Friends;
This Sunday, May 9th, we will be celebrating Mother’s Day by honoring moms. Hey, it’s a biblical thing to do, it’s even one of the 10 Commandments. I hope you will invite your mom to come to church and then take her out afterwards for lobster and caviar. Then I hope you will take her to a luxury car dealer and allow her to pick out any car that she chooses. Then I hope you will lavish pearls and diamonds and other types of fine gold jewelry on her….
…Oops, sorry about that. Every now and then I get in some type of strange mode and I start typing things with no consideration for logic or making sense. I apologize, I’ll try not to let it happen again.
Okay, forget about the lobster and the luxury car and the expensive jewelry. But we’re still going to honor moms this Sunday and I hope you will be able to be here. “The Guys” will be leading the worship, that’s right “The Guys”—and that’s always something special. We are praying and believing that God will be greatly glorified and that moms will be wonderfully blessed…and that somehow, we will all have a great time and be challenged in the faith, as well.
If you say, “Oh, come on, all those things are not likely to happen in ONE service.”
I say, “Well, be here on Sunday and let’s find out. That’s what we’re praying for.”
And the great time of worship together isn’t the whole story. This Sunday our Mountain Movers discipleship group will also be having a Bake Sale fundraiser which will include selling “Biggest Loser” cookbooks. I love it! A “bake sale” in which we also offer cookbooks with recipes that will help you lose weight. This proves that the Mountain Movers are becoming incredible disciples of Jesus because you have to have a fantastic amount of faith—mountain moving faith—to sell cookies, brownies, and cakes with frosting, along with a cookbook containing diet recipes. The sheer beauty of that combination is likely to make this their best fundraiser ever! In fact, in honor of that fundraiser I’m going on a very strict diet until dinner tonight, and then I’m going to eat 2 or 3 packages of Twinkies, followed up with a large chocolate sundae.
No, no, don’t thank me. It’s the least I can do.
Moms, we love you and we hope to see you on Sunday!
“Honor your father and mother, as the LORD your God commanded you. Then you will live a long, full life in the land the LORD your God is giving you.” Deuteronomy 5:16
Blessings,
Dan
I'm thinking of using this photo for the cover of
my up-coming diet cookbook. I don't know...
what do you think?
