Sherilyn arrived safe and sound tonight just a little late for theBOX! She left around 6AM from South Carolina this morning and is now getting tucked in to the futon for her first of a week-or-so of nights!
She instantly showered us with some Christmas gifts from home and some amazingly foreign gifts from her year in Bosnia!
It’s a privilege to have her here staying with us for this week. She’s speaking to our church on Sunday night this coming week, too!
Tonight at theBOX we revealed our spin on the Wesleyan-influenced “YEAR OF THE BIBLE”. Our campaign is called “EAT THE WORD” – and I promise that the Lord gave me this campaign BEFORE I sat through Jeff Eckart’s “EAT THE BIBLE” seminar!
I talked about Ezekiel 3:1-4 and showed how this year we would EAT, TASTE, & GO – just like Ezekiel did. EAT – we will read the Bible everyday this year! TASTE – not only will we read, but we will apply the Word of God to our lives everyday as we “taste” and see that it is good! GO – not only will we read and apply the Word of God to OUR lives, but we will reach out and impact our world with the Word of Christ this year through the EAT THE WORD campaign!
Sounds like fun, doesn’t it!?!
Next week the teens will have an opportunity to respond to whether they want to be involved in the year-long campaign!
Sleeping in tomorrow. Dinner with Phil & Steph Stuller tomorrow night!
