Out of My Mind

Each week has both Highs and lows. So here are my highs and lows over the last week:

The Georgia - Florida Game. As a Dawg fan, it was pretty awesome being in the stadium with my two sons and my dad. The fans for both sides were fired up, and the game was intense. It was an electric atmoshphere. I have never enjoyed a game so much in all of my life. Go DAWGS! This was a HIGH!!!

My dog Shep ate my IPod! Yeah, you read it right. Some dogs eat homework, and others eat IPods. In my opinion, the IPod is perhaps the greatest invention in all of history so I was pretty bummed. I was hoping I could at least yank on Shep’s tale and hear a Third Day song, or have him recite a podcast or something. No such luck. He didn’t actually swallow it, but he demolished it. If it were not for the kids, that dog would be history. This was definitely a LOW!!!

My Fantasy Football Team won - finally. After winning my first two games, I was thinking I could run the table only to lose 5 straight games. That was almost as bad as having the dog eat my IPod. But I finally got back on the winning track. I had forgotten what the sweet taste of victory was like. This was a HIGH!

My son Jonathan had an awesome 35 yard touchdown run in his Little League football game the other night. It was a sweep to the right - he broke a tackle, juked out a man, and then cut it back to the left all the way across the field and beat a man to the corner of the end zone. It was sweeeeeet!!! That’s my boy. Well, what would you think - a high or a low. HIGH Baby!!!

I prayed with a guy to receive Christ at the end of our 8 oclock service. We had a video testimony from one of our members, Kevin (see the link to the video at end of post) . At the end of the service, I just mentioned that I felt like there was someone here that may need to come and know Christ. Well Kevin ended up front with his friend Brian. And Brian who has been struggling with recovery issues was ready to trust Christ. Major High. Ministry is about changed lives!!!

I keep trying to think of more lows, but it has been a great week. I have met with God, spent time with my family, seen God at work in the people around me. I give Him thanks. And even though the dog ate my IPod, I give Him thanks. It doesn’t hurt that I ordered another one off the internet, and it already arrived (HIGH!!!).

Life is full of emotional highs and lows. I know that next week, I may have more lows than highs, but I plan to praise and give Him thanks any way. Next time, I want to share with you a time where my wife and I sought to turn a valley into a mountain with God’s help.

Will we praise Him in the valley like we will when we are on the mountain? I would love to read some of your highs and lows this week. How was it for you? Where do you see God at work this week? What did you enjoy this week? What bothered you this week? Hope to hear from you.
