The persecuted

Tonight I did my first bible study at Ada First Baptist for the college group. The study focused on the persecuted Christian. First I read a few stories out of the Jesus Freaks book. Then we went over several verses pertaining to the study. It was simple. I am not a great public speaker by any stretch of the imagination, so let's just say that I'm glad it's over. I don't think I did too bad, but I would understand them preferring somebody else to do it. I think I would prefer that. But, I did learn quite a bit from doing the research for this study. It reminds me that being a Christian isn't easy or simple. We are told that we are going to suffer because of who we serve. 1 Peter 4: 14 says, "If you are insulted because of the name of Christ, you are blessed, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you."

Change of subject....

The Dallas Mavericks are beating the Miami Heat by 13 with 6 minutes in the 4th. Finally, a team that I like has a great chance to win the NBA Finals. I always rooted against Jordan and the Bulls whenever they played. I like Jordan, but everybody and their llama was going for them. I wanted to be different. And for all who know me know that still holds true.

Wow... this has been less than exciting.... so, here's a picture to keep you and me entertained:

Jonathon is just hanging out...

Until next time, vaya con Dios.
