Church and Work

I have waited a week or so to be sure the word was already out on this first item, and it is, so I will make a couple of remarks.

A while ago our senior pastor at The Rock Church (TRC), Jeff Knight, was called by another pastor from a church about 8 or 9 miles from Monroe. The short version of this story is that this pastor's church that is in Lake Stevens was going to disband and their leadership had met and after prayer felt God was directing them to give the property, a church building and a school building to TRC. I've heard the property has a tax value of about $1M. What a blessing. TRC has been praying about 'expanding our tent' and waiting on God for direction. Our leadership is now praying about the use of this property. We can do a great work with this satellite facility. Thank you, God.

Marlys and I are prepping for a Florida trip starting this Friday that I have earned through meeting sales quota this year. I'm especially glad my wife will be going with me - both our trips are being paid by my employer. It wll be a bit of a working vacation with some meetings I'm obligated to attend, but we'll have a few days for 'fun in the sun.' And it goes without saying, thank you, God for the health and work you've blessed me with at age 71.
