Just got this

The staff at North Mobile is encouraging our members to join us in reading through the New Testament this year. Some of us are reading through the entire Bible. If you would like to join us go to our web site at www.fbnm.org and click on the passages for the Daily Scripture Reading. Oh, and while you're there, check out the new look of our web site. Thanks to the work of our Pastor and staff it's been re-designed to fit our new strategy. Let me know what you think.

As I was reading Genesis 1, I noticed (verse 3) that God makes the light on the first day. But, it's not until the fourth day (verses 14-19) that He creates the sun and the moon. So if the light created on the first day wasn't from the sun, what was the source of the light? And not only did it not come from the sun, but it was separate from the darkness. So we have separate light and darkness without any source.

The darkness I can attribute to the absence of light. It exists because there is no light. Then you have light - without a contributive source - that doesn't completely overtake the darkness.

Hmmmmm. . .never caught that before.

What are your thoughts - the source for the light, God's ability to speak into being a sourceless light and control it to the point that it doesn't completely overpower existing darkness, the awesomeness of God?

Let me know.

Still in wonder of Almighty God,
Mike

Camp is Good!

I'm home from a week at a student camp - Camp Chaparral . I was there teaching students how God created them for a place of ministry and encouraging them to involved - somehow. . .somewhere. I was also the guest of Pam & Steve Sparks. They are wonderful friends from my Lufkin days. Steve is the Assistant Director of the camp. Better give a shout out to the staff - Hey Mike, David, Heather, Doug, Tim, Nate, Govani (spelling?) - thanks for a great week. These guys work really, really hard to make your camp stay the greatest. And it was. But I'm exhausted! I'm beginning to wonder if I'm getting too old for this kind of thing? The worship was great - thanks to the brown band ! Hey Michell, Gabi, Rooster, Noah, and #14. They'll get it. Jon Randles really challenged us with his messages - 7 Marks of a Disciple . Need a speaker that speaks truth with wisdom? Get Randles. College or students. He's good. But the late nights and early mornings - WHEW!!

Question for You

I was listening to one of the local radio stations - kwyq, The Way FM, this morning on the way to the office. They were asking the question, "If you could live in a totally Christian community would you?" Responses varied. I would be interested in knowing what you think. So. . .I pose the question to you. . . If you could live in a totally Christian community would you? Why or why not? I can't wait to read your responses. Mike

Favorite Cereals

As I was scarfing down a bowl of Total I was thinking about my favorite cereals. Cereal has always been a part of our family - it didn't matter whether it was grabbing a bowl before school and sitting with my Grandpa as he at a bowl of Raisin Bran after church on Sunday nights. Growing up I had my faves. I would still eat them, but me and a lot of sugar in the morning is no bueno. As many of you can attest, it's not like I need more sugar! So I also have favorites now. Here's my list of favorite cereals: Then Cap'n Crunch - the original and all-time favorite, and breakfast with the Cap'n - how do you beat that? Frosted Flakes - don't get soggy in milk Peanut Butter Crunch - Cap'n Crunch and peanut butter, what's not to like? Wheat Chex - add a banana, mmmm. . .mmmmm. . .good! Now Total - good for you and doesn't get soggy too quickly Kellogg's Low Fat Granola without Raisins - good all around cereal Wheat Chex - still like me a bowl o
