Things to think about this weekend

Want to get a feel for the temple in Jerusalem in Jesus's day might have looked like? Check out what a retired farmer has spent 33,000 hours building.

Did you know that you are a theologian even if you don't know what one is? So, we all should be studying theology. Why not keep reading the One Year Bible and while you do so, read the notes in the ESV Study Bible?

I have a friend, David Wayne, who is fighting cancer. He's a pastor in Baltimore. As he fights his fight with cancer, he is determined to get God's joy. He writes, "I believe that I have been given a calling, and a unique opportunity, to demonstrate the joy that is ours in Christ and I am determined to take joy and happiness very seriously in the future ;-) I'm also committed to reminding my fellow Christians of their duty and opportunity to be joyful in Christ." I say, "Thanks, David, for inspiring us."

Thanks Rick - I may need you to remind me of my own words from time to time now that I'm in chemo. I have many days where the fight for joy is knock down drag-out fight, but yes I am committed to the fight and I so appreciate the prayers and encouragement.
