A Side of My Wife You've Probably Never Seen!

You have got to click on the link above and watch this video!

My beautiful, fantastic, incredible wife, Sheila, (in addition to being my partner in ministry) is the worship leader at South Heights Assembly in Sapulpa, Oklahoma.

She joined the staff there about a year ago, just prior to their annual pie auction which is the primary fund raiser for the Missionettes (the elementary girl's program). Since she had only been on staff for about 3 weeks prior to last year's pie auction, she was given a pass when it came to the part of the auction when the opportunity to throw a pie in the face of a staff member is auctioned off.

However, faced with taking a pie in the face this year, Sheila, who is somewhat claustrophobic and cannot stand to have anything in her face, even water from a shower, especially covering her nose, mentioned at a little after-church gathering several months ago the she'd rather kiss a pig than take a pie in the face.

Well ... guess what! Click the link above and see what happened!

I also am attaching another video below (not very good quality, but you'll get the idea) of a United Way fund raising event at the law firm at which Sheila is the Administrator, in which, try as she might, she could not avoid taking a pie in the face, but as you'll see, I have a very creative wife. Get a load of that outfit!







Love in Christ Jesus,

It's Called Christmas with a Capital "C"

Pretty cool video by an group called "Go Fish".

One of my preacher buddies, Mike Sublett, Hi-Land Christian Church in Pampa, TX sent it to me.

I've not been very good about updating this blog - but I'm making an early New Year's Resolution to do much better, so check back often over the next few weeks and hold me accountable.

There will be some fun stuff, some serious stuff, some more Christmas stuff and who knows what else.

But - right now - let me be the first to say - Merry Christmas with a Capital C !

Love in Christ Jesus!

Are Your Ready?

What a powerful video!

And what a reminder that Jesus may come again at any time!

Certainly, if you read God's Word regarding what the world will be like when Jesus returns, it is apparent that those times are upon us. It may be 10 years or 20 years from now, but as this video portrays, it might be in just a few minutes.

Let me ask you this - if you knew Jesus were coming in 30 days, is there anything about your life that you'd change?

Is there something that you'd stop doing and for which you'd seek repentance, because you'd be afraid it would keep you from heaven?

Is there something that you should be doing that you'd start doing? Maybe you've been intending to talk to a loved one or a friend or a co-worker about Jesus and trying to lead them to salvation, but just keep putting it off because you are afraid you'd offend them? Maybe you keep telling yourself there will be a better time?

It is so easy for us to think that we have plenty of time, that we can change later or we can talk to that person about their soul some other time, but the fact is that Jesus could come at any moment - and, as Christians, we ought to be living our life with that realization - with that kind of urgency - no only in regard to assuring our own salvation, but is reaching the lost around us.

The fact is - THERE IS NOT PLENTY OF TIME!

THE TIME TO MAKE THINGS RIGHT IS NOW!!!

It may be that Jesus doesn't return for another 20 or 30 years, but you might not have more than today - more than these next few hours.

Last week, an 18 year old girl who had graduated last year from the same Christian school two of our kids attend(ed) was driving home from church and another car clipped her car causing her to spin into another lane of traffic where her car was hit and she died from her injuries. She was a wonderful Christian young lady. She'd made straight "A"s, was a star athlete, a beautiful and sweet girl and I am sure that death was far from her mind and that anyone who knew her would have thought that she had many wonderful years ahead of her. Yet, her young life ended in a moment.

The Bible tells us that, at best, our life is like a mist which appears for a moment and then is gone.

Let me ask you that question again - Are you ready?

If not, you need to get ready - TODAY!

Love in Christ Jesus,

Jim
