Everett’s mindless blog
You know,  Jennnifer and I have been blessed for a couple of years(not sure how many, sorry James I’ve been hit in the head too many times) with our HOME here at St. James. That’s what we’ve found here, is a home, especially myself. My life has had it’s moments, and I really had given up on God and this whole church thing. My lovely wife kept after me to get up off my rear and go help her in her search for a church. We found St. James and it has been a real blessing. I don’t even know what the messages will be about, as computers and myself really don’t get along. What I have found, is that it doesn’t matter if I know what he will be speaking on. God really does get his message out there through James. Time and time again James has given the message, and I walked away felling as though I was the only one in the room he was talking to.  As I sit here today(Sept 23 morn. service) I still find it so crazy that I not only play “CHURCH”  music, but I truly know what a community of Family is now.  The message today is on spontaneous looking for Jesus, the funny thing about St. James is you can’t find a more spontaneously place. James goes into a message and you never know where it will go. My thought on trying to find Jesus spontaneously is that you can’t. Jesus works on you in a most subtle way. he does have a good point that we have programed our lives, and we need to mix it up more. The question is what resources do we or can we bring to the table. Not Just the dollar bills, but love, organization, sandwich making…… time, money, love they are all part of the resources that we can give to this community. The disciples went out very spontaneously with Jesus and still did not understand that God is the greatest resource that we can pull from. He feeds the many, loves all, accepts all as well. Stop, look around and see what YOU can bring to the table. Maybe it just a prayer, and that’s ok. to put the message simply, go out look around and see where you can give back a liitle to make even the smallest difference. I truly believe there is no difference in giving some money so someone can eat, and just offering a kind word to help make someone feel better about themselves or even just their day. It’s all LOVE, and it’s all good, that is the difference that we can all make…. have a great week!
