Deep Impact

I have been thinking (I know that is dangerous)about some life changes that have deep impact. You know things like graduating High School or college, getting married, having childrent, death, and other things. These and other deep impacting events change our lives forever. Some times our decisions, good or bad, tell us much about ourselves. The change that takes place from those deep impacting decisions or sudden changes that cause deep impact is sometimes challenging.

It is with this thought I wonder how anyone can handle the changes of life without God. Deep Impact moments will come to us all. How we handle them says alot about us and our relationship with God. You see when we are in a vital and intimate relationship with God we can handle all deep impacting moments with His grace. You see God's grace is always sufficient. He is always more than enough. There are times in our lives that we will have Deep Impact. Yet God is so much greater than these deep impacting moments.

Who will you trust when the Deep Impact moment arrives? How will it change you? Will the moment wreck havoc or will you allow the Spirit of God to speak peace and calm?

Deep Impact, those moments will come. When they do, hold on tight to the unchanging hand of God, it is always secure when deep impact occurs.

Until next time....Keith

Been a while

It has been a while since I have posted. Time gets away from us more than we think. So much has happen since the last time I posted a blog it would be hard to catch up.

Since I last posted I have gotten very busy. Extremely busy, but that is a good thing of sorts and bad in others. My pastor has gotten very sick. Bro Norris has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in stage 4. So with that I have taken on more responsibilities to help him with our church.

God has been blessing our church with great attendance of late. We are grateful for that. HE knows what we need.

A lot of people are asking "why" this disease would hit our pastor. The realitiy is that it could hit any of us. It is life. Unfortunately life has it many up and downs. Thank God that he is there for those up and down moments. God's presnece is so powerful and when we walk in the shadow of the valley of death it is really true that we do not have to fear. God is already there.

So I am grateful for his presence. I am grateful for the fact that he holds the future and I am grateful to know He is already in the future.

Until next time...Keith
