Tuesday
Monday
an MPD day
...or at least that's what Sunday felt like: multiple personalities all over.
At 8:20 I was a tenor in a Contemporary Praise and Worship Choir
At 9:30 I was a keyboard leader of a Traditional Worship Service
At 11:00 I was doing 8:20 again
At noon I was a singer in a rock band for the All-Church BBQ picnic
At 4 pm I was a pastor officiating at the funeral of a 25 year old woman who was our babysitter 10 years ago
At 6 pm I was a husband out to dinner with his wife and some friends
At 8 pm I was a Dad consoling a daughter who was feeling overwhelmed by stress.
This morning I was a guy with a muscle spasm in his lower back.
and wondering if the muscle spasm was related to the previous day?

SMILES
Friday evening was SMILES FOR MILES, our annual evening benefitting the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. With Ike and the economic downturn, we figured our $10,000 goal might need to be revised a bit downward. I thought maybe $7,000 was reachable.
We wound up hitting just barely over $8,000 in cash, checks, online donations and confirmed pledges. We were delighted. Subsequently we realized that some 25 students plan on walking with us at the November 8 Walk to Cure Diabetes, and each of them is committed to raise a minimum of $20 - that gets us well within striking distance of our $10,000 goal.
If you have not looked at our webpage and especially the video of ElenaClaire, please take a look. And we invite, encourage, and request you to make an online, tax-deductible donation to JDRF using this link.• John Williams, our Youth minister, is undergoing bypass surgery today. (Our youth guy is the oldest guy on the called staff) Prayers appreciated.

Affirmation
My Faith is in You, Almighty Father,
as I live on this world You created –
revolving, bringing morning after night -
this world that speaks with so much eloquence
of love and faithfulness, and of your grace.
My Faith is in You, Jesus, Holy Lord:
As I recognize my own brokenness
And then remember how You came to earth,
My heart is filled with gratitude and joy,
that You would give Your life upon the cross
And rise again in glorious victory!
My Faith is in You, Spirit from above,
and sent down by the Father and the Son,
You help me to remember whose I am:
For I am Yours: the one eternal God
still reaching out to claim me as Your own.
My King, I will forever sing Your praise!
