Thanksgiving

Currently, I'm enjoying a couple of days visiting my in-laws in La Grange. It is always a restful visit every time we come. We've eaten well, watched the Cowboys win, and and enjoyed visiting with family members we don't see enough. I consider myself the most blessed man in the world. And for that, I am extremely thankful to God.

Thank you, Solid Rock!

This past Sunday was Pastor's Day at Solid Rock. Pastor's Day is a strange combination of joy and embarrassment.

Speed-the-Light is the Assemblies of God youth mission-giving program that provides transportation and communications equipment to missionaries in many parts of the world. Speed-the-Light helps provide the "big ticket" items that missionaries need in the field. The plan for this end-of-year giving is called The Hour That Changes the World . Anyone who signs up is asked to identify a country for which they would like to pray. On November 30th, they will receive, via email, information about that country that they can use as a prayer guide. Then they are asked to bring a Speed-the-Light offering to Solid Rock Church on December 2nd which totals one-hour's wages or more. The year-to-date Speed-the-Light giving stands at nearly $900. With this concentrated push, we believe we can reach our $1500 goal. If you are i
