I just saw this driving down Hibiscus Blvd.  I love this thing … This was the SRT8 which is the 425 hp version … Top of the line in B5 blue.  I wonder if a Dodge dealer will have a crazy deal in the next 6 months.

Vladimir, Judy and Bill hit it out of the park.  All three of you did absolutely amazing.  Thanks for sharing your heart with us last night.  We were all so very blessed to have been there.  Kudos to Mark V.  You’re a great mentor and leader, bro.

If you are interested in being a part of the Mentoring For Ministry program, let us know asap at 321 259-3388.  You should seriously pray about this amazing opportunity to grow in Christ like never before.

Date night w/ Cher … So nice to have a wife that is easy to please.  Dinner at a BBQ place and then Star Trek - Awesome!  Just @ to fall asleep now.  Our Mentoring For Ministry class ministered tonight and all 3 did a terrific job. Great meetings all day long … Staff meeting tomorrow and study-day.  I can’t wait to preach this weekend.  I’ve got alot of encouragement to share.  Goodnight!

- Summer is here … Its hot too.
- Cher is freakin out because Silas and I are disturbing her ‘Mommy’ time.
- I’m sooooooo tired
- I greeted a guest by welcoming them into the worship experience and telling them to ‘make themselves at home’ and that we would all ‘jam for Jesus!’  I know right … totally ridiculous and insanely ‘cheeseball!’  I promise I’m laughing out loud right now.  Where did that come from anyway?
- PC during hosting said he ‘felt like the ugly kid who got a date to the prom … ‘He was just glad to be there.’  Not sure people were trackin on that but I did laugh to myself.
- Tons of people out but still a decent attendance.
- I’m bummed about ending this series … I’ll look forward to preaching it again in 2010 with an all-new cast.
- So many people at www.discoverlifechurch.tv HAVE THE VISION … glad @ that!
- ‘Loyalty’ is such an important subject … I hope people took good notes today.
- Most of the time, I was just preaching to myself.

- Chillin at home now
- I can’t wait to start our new series … ‘Credit Cruch’
- Silas and I just got kicked out of Cher’s room.

- Silas wants to play WII so I’m out.

Cya - Ken

• I thought the message this week was much more clear and concise than last week.
• I enjoyed playing guitar today.  “Our God Reigns” is a fun song.
• Timing was on point - Thank God.  I totally enjoyed 20 minutes of break in between worship experiences.  I think the team liked it too.
• Pastor Chris is funny when he moderates whether or not he means to - Ha!
• Great attendance.
• Missing a lot of good people … If you weren’t there, we missed you … You know who you are.
• Call someone and tell them I’m preaching on the meanest, most manipulative, demonized woman in the Bible this coming Sunday … I’ve got some important things to say about family.  Pray with me.
• I love this series.  I’m planning to do this at least once a year … I read last week about a King of Israel who reigned for 7 days before being overthrown.  I Kings 16: 15-20 … “He went into the citadel of the King’s house and BURNED IT DOWN OVER HIMSELF AND DIED IN THE FLAMES” - Definitely an Unhappy Ending!
• My poison oak is just beginning to heal.  This junk hurts and the band-aids game me a terrible rash - Ughhh …
• Once again, please don’t ever let me go camping again.  I think I said something like, if I mention it, “Punch me in the face.”
• I can’t believe the Magic only won 1 game.  Yes, I still like them, but I’m so disappointed.  I was just kidding about not liking them anymore.  Not sure why they need a new building either … Every time I’ve been the last 3 times to a game, there are empty seats everywhere.
• Nice to have Scott, Karmin and Lauren with us this weekend.
• WE WILL GROW OVER THE SUMMER!  Believe it!!

Long day today but it was a truly awesome day to live out God’s call on my life. Chris & I had the chance to pray with many partners of www.discoverlifechurch.tv - What an honor! I love finding opportunities in this life to point people to Christ! There is no greater feeling …

I’ll hopefully post a ‘Sunday Unravelled’ soon!

Lord, bless our worship experiences.  Bless the people and have your way in their lives.  May our worship reach the Heavens.  Let Your word penetrate even the darkest and coldest of hearts.  Heal those who are broken and show us Your glory.  We give you ALL the praise!

Giving our best to God is not actually as hard as we might be led to believe.  Here are my thoughts on James 4:8-9 as they relate to our subject …

Read the NKJV here.  I offer the Amplified version below - I found it super helpful.

7) So be subject to God. Resist the devil [stand firm against him], and he will flee from you.  8 ) Come close to God and He will come close to you. [Recognize that you are] sinners, get your soiled hands clean; [realize that you have been disloyal] wavering individuals with divided interests, and purify your hearts [of your spiritual adultery]. 9) [As you draw near to God] be deeply penitent and grieve, even weep [over your disloyalty]. Let your laughter be turned to grief and your mirth to dejection and heartfelt shame [for your sins].

Giving God our best means …

1. Surrendering and submitting ourselves to God!  How do we do this?  Read on.
2. Scream “NO” to the devil, knowing he WILL FLEE as a result!
3. Draw close to God.  This happens after surrender and submission through worship and a devoted prayer life.
4. Look for God to draw close to you.  Listen for His precious voice in everything you experience.
5. Recognize your sin and disloyalty.  Understand that your ’struggle with fleshly desire’ is not only a part of being human and but also a valuable opportunity to learn how to lean on God for help.
6. Purify your heart through prayer and reading scripture.  If our mind is like soil, we must sow into it more of the ‘word’ than the ‘world.’  Don’t miss that!
7. Take our sinful behaviors very seriously.  Never laugh them off.  OUR SINS SHOULD GRIEVE US DEEPLY!

When we adopt James’ commands into our daily routine, giving our best to God becomes a natural outgrowth of what is constantly happening in our hearts.  Its not as hard as we’re led to believe it is.

Is there anywhere in your life you’re not giving God your best?

Lately, I’ve been asking myself the question, “Am I really giving God my best?”  Truthfully, I want to give God my all, and yet there is this war within me to do what makes me comfortable and satisfied.  This is so frustrating and yet it is part of the Christian walk we ALL must face daily.  There’s no getting around it!

Consider Matthew 22:37 … Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, and mind.   I’ll post my thoughts on James 4:7-8 tomorrow (The blog is already finished) as part two

Please listen … When we’re tempted to give less than our best to Christ, it is not merely that we are tired, agitated, or depressed.  We must not make excuses!  The truth is, the temptation to give God less than our very best is the devil’s greatest attack against our souls.  God wants our best.  satan doesn’t want us to give it to Him.  Giving less than our best to God is actually giving in to the devil - Yikes!  Yes, I said it.  GIVING LESS THAN OUR BEST TO GOD IS ACTUALLY GIVING IN TO THE devil!  We can’t take advantage of grace and say, “Oh, God knows my heart.”  Remember, I’m a ‘grace guy’ but what we really need is balance.  Consider this …

Giving less than our best to God;

• is hurtful - It negatively affects others in many ways
• is contagious - potentially infects those around us
• is habit-forming - It makes it easier to give God less the next time around
• is deceptive - You don’t always now you’re doing it unless prompted by the Holy Spirit
• is easily excused - We have thousands of reasons for wimping out!

We are not perfect.  However, we shouldn’t deceive ourselves into thinking we give everything to God when we don’t.  It will only hurt us in the long run.  I’m praying this right now … “Lord Jesus, please forgive me and strengthen me as I learn from my mistakes and become more like You!”

I can’t change yesterday, I haven’t reached tomorrow yet.  I’m accountable for today.  I’m here, ‘in the now’ and I sincerely want to give my very best to God RIGHT NOW.  He so deserves my obedience, love and devotion.

Sorry guys, no comments - I simply want you to think about this often!

I simply don’t know.  I don’t know why I’ve taken so long to blog.  I’m not exactly sure what my problem has been.  I could throw off that 1) My computer went crazy for 2-3 weeks, 2) that I’ve been so busy, 3) that I was twittering for a while, 4) that I’ve been enjoying watching my son grow into an awesome little dude, 5) maybe it became ‘work’ and I didn’t like that, 6) I lost my password because after changing it, it kept going to my junk mail inbox and I didn’t know it, or 7) I just needed a little time away.

So far, #7 sounds the most probable.  I’m at least thankful that I’m no so married to blogging that I don’t know when and/or how to simply step back and say, “I’ll think I’ll chill for a while.”

Anyways, I seriously love and appreciate you guys who hang out with me here at www.kenhitte.com each week.  I hope to once again fill the web with a plethora of ‘mind-blowing, thought-provoking, knowledge-enriching, wisdom-expanding, faith-building, and attitude-lifting’ sentiment … Okay, maybe not, but I will give you what’s on my heart … Hope that works.

Sometime a while back, I asked myself the question, “Why do I blog?”  I mentioned I’d write more in the future so here goes.

First of all, I blog because I feel like God uses this type of communication and it does in fact help to communicate a lot of stuff;  1) What is the pastor of www.discoverlifechurch.tv like?  New folks often want to know this.  2) What is my communication style? 3) What’s important to me? 4) What do I want people to know about me and/or the church I pastor?  This blog does more to answer those questions than any ”Information Page” on a website could ever do.

Second, I really like blogging.  Something about telling people my life stories and thoughts seems therapeutic.  I just feel better as a result.  I really dig ‘feeling better.’

Lastly (for now), I like being able to communicate this way with the people of www.discoverlifechurch.tv.  I feel more connected to you as I write and your comments are an awesome way for me to hear what you think.  I really do love you guys.  Personaly, this can feel somewhat like a conversation.

Your thoughts?

I’m just saying.  Get the CD from Sunday if you don’t have a clue what I’m talking about.  That just aint right!  People, please walk your dogs in a safe zone … you know like somewhere other than a church parking lot or your neighbors yard.  Maybe I should take another break from bloging … Ha!

Hope you all have gotten your nap in this afternoon - Ha!

• Cher was out of town this weekend with two of her friends in New York city.  She is having a blast and has already told me about some jazz clubs she’s visited … I’m so envious.
• Cher went here for church today.  She said it was awesome.
• Our worship band did great today, especially with two strong vocalist missing.
• I love the song, “How Great Is Our God.”
• Pastor Chris preached awesome today!
• I was able to move around the campus during the first worship experience and briefly survey things.  Carrie is doing a great job with our student ministry.
• D101 was packed today … no open seats - Totally awesome.
• Praying for Wendy Knight really encouraged me during the service.  With all the scripture we read together, how could there be any question of God’s intention to care for us.
• Many others in our growing church need God to heal them … Let’s have crazy faith and believe God can do the impossible.
• In other words … PRAY FOR OTHERS LIKE YOU’D WANT THEM TO PRAY FOR YOU IF YOU WERE IN A CRISIS.
• I told a guy one time I’d whisper a prayer for him … He quickly said, “Hey Ken, if you’re praying for me … Please, don’t ever whisper.”  I loved that.
• Cher will be home tonight around 2 a.m.  She’s never allowed to leave again.
• Still living out of boxes after the move, but I’m still glad to be in our house.
• Chiti brought Tony with him today and Diana.  This was her second time - Yea!
• Low attendance today … Call someone you missed and tell them to get their butt in church next week … Uhhhh, scratch that … Just encourage them and tell them you missed them today :)

Pray for our church everyone.  GOD IS DOING GREAT THINGS IN OUR MIDST!!!

I love the new mustang but I saw three of these Sunday within 4 hours.  Is this a sign?  I sure hope so

 This 09 Challenger is pretty sweet, but I prefer the chrome 20’s.

I love this picture.  It makes me think big thoughts.  Human beings are visually motivated … You know what I mean?  The statement, “I’ll believe it when I see” comes to mind.  This boardroom makes me think of some people doing serious business.  What pictures motivate you and why?

“Instead of wondering when your next vacation is, set up a life you don’t have to escape from.” - Seth Godin … from here.

- “Glorified” is my new favorite worship chorus.

- Great spirit of worship in both worship experiences.

- Contrary to what some infer, people who are filled w/ the Spirit do not float everywhere they go.

- I love watching my son at his football practice … This will be my new Sunday thing … I’m digging it.

- The power of the Holy Spirit should make you sweeter, not more offensive.

- Boldly proclaiming Christ doesn’t involve acting like a jerk … It means you love people deeper.

- Silas had a cramp … I told him to ‘man up’ and get back out on the field …

- Someone parked their Dodge Challenger SRT8 at Cinemaworld today … 425 Hemi HP … I drooled a couple minutes at least.

- Lots of guests again today. Thank God. I hope they filled out connection cards.

- I’m amazed at the growth I see in people at www.discoverlifechurch.tv. Its so cool to see people who never darkened the doors of any church lifting their hands to praise God.

See you this week … Lets win this county for Christ!

Can’t sleep tonight … I had a very profitable & productive Adm. meeting. What do you do when you can’t sleep?

Thanks for your patience.  I’ve been moving into my house and let’s just say, it has been a long 72 hours.  Here you go …

• This week’s Sunday Unravelled was too good to pass up - late or not.
• I can’t begin to say how appreciative I am to all those of you who worked so very hard to bring your friends and family to our Easter worship experiences.  You gave the devil a black eye.
• We had our highest Easter attendance EVER!  God came through, tons of guests poured in and people received the gospel at both services.
• Its still a little weird not playing in the band each week.  Don’t misunderstand me, I’m thankful.  I’m simply getting used to my new role on Sunday mornings.  It feels normal and everything, its just new.
• People keep telling me how awesome Pastor Chris is doing each week moderating the worship experiences.  He is a blessing.  My family and I are staying with him, Brit and their kids until we move into our house completely, so please pray for HIM - They already kicked us out once - Ha!
• Did I mention we experienced our greatest Easter attendance ever?  Thank You Jesus.
• The bottom seemed to fall out the last two weeks before Easter … I was strugglin’ - Don’t judge.
• God gave me an mid-quarter update for our strategic growth plan at www.discoverlifechurch.tv about 8-9 weeks ago … This involved a huge leap of faith to even speak about.  One of the first big hurtles was to exceed 500 in attendance on Easter.  Thank God … He came through and we’re on our way!
• I can’t wait for the day when our goal is 500 new converts on one Sunday.
• Faith talk is easier than faith walk.
• Great plans don’t work unless you motivate the people to execute them.
• I love the new series - Supernatural.
• Rock the Silence rocks the silence - Elizabeth, you are a blessing.
• I’ve started a garden again, although I’m not sure you dig that.
• I wish I could speak to every guest every week.
• As the church continues to grow, I’m reminded of the importance of giving more and more responsibility to people other than my staff and inner circle.  The leadership team is growing as the church grows.  Raising leaders is the role of EVERY leader in our church!!!!!
• Carrie did a great job with the youth worship experience on Sunday.  It was a great first day.  I look forward to our next youth service.
• FYI, our nursery ministry could use a couple more caregivers as well as our Children’s ministry - KIDMO.  Are you gifted to change diapers and wipe snotty noses?  Remember, God uses you two ways … where you’re gifted and where you’re needed?  We can’t always sit on the sidelines
• Pastor Chris places people in ministry for periods of 6 months to a year.  The good news is when you serve, there’s always a light at the end of the tunnel.
• THANKS TO ALL WHO WORKED SO DILIGENTLY ON SUNDAY DURING BOTH SERVICES.  Some people didn’t get to sit in a service for so much as one minute.  Vladimir is one of them.  You guys are my heroes.  Now, this week, go and be blessed!
• Thank You Holy Spirit, for having Your way and blessing us far beyond our wildest dreams.  I believe this to be our best year ever!  God be praised.

Later.

God is good.

• Super tired today although the sugar-donut anointing helped tremendously
• Missed John Menton and his family today - Hey guys, come back soon, please.  I hope the Celtic Concert was fun and that you’ve had time to relax and de-stress.
• I preached on of my favorite Psalms today - Psalm 1 - and focused on verses 1-3.  God, make me like the guy in that text.
• Avoiding the spirit of the world right now.
• Can’t wait to delight in the word later this afternoon.
• I promise you guys … My only peace, my only lasting and true joy is to read the word.  That may sound ‘preachy’ but its still true … Human nature irks me beyond expression.  The word of God is the only real substantive thing in my life.  My wife, son and family are a blessing but only in the word do I find eternal comfort.  Can you dig it?
• I slobbered sweet sayings over my wife during the messages in both services … I wonder if I got her attention?  I’ll let you know … actually, probably not
• My Dad and brother were on the front row today of both services … What a blessing to have them around each week.
• Chiti - 13th week attending www.discoverlifechurch.tv - Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet.
• I recently met a nice woman in CVS and said she looked familiar, to which she said, “I should, I attend your church every week.”  I know her now as Alice and she is an exceptionally nice and friendly person.  I thank God for the opportunity to have met her and many others of you who call www.discoverlifechurch.tv your church home.  Our family continues to grow.
• So many people at our church are inviting their friends and family … YOU GUYS ROCK!
• Spring break sucks eggs for pastors who are energized by a crowd.  I’ve heard it said, “Only pastors enjoy a packed out church.”  I feel like God supercharged me this morning before each message.  The donut thing was just a joke.
• I’m pumped about next Sunday … I believe God is going to do something great in our midst.  I’m really excited about the sermon series as well as the greatest Resurrection Sunday attendance we’ve ever experienced.  Can you dig it?
• Going to share our strategic growth plan now and then I’m riding my bike.

See you this week!

Thanks God in advance for the opportunity to come together tomorrow and worship You in freedom. Please use the proclaiming of Your Word to bring a strategic direction and specific expectation, not just new information. As always God, have Your way in every facet of our worship experiences.

I can’t wait to preach this coming Sunday. I plan to share a couple of reasons I know according to scripture that we can and will make it through a recession.

Here’s just a taste …
Prov. 22:9
He who has a generous eye will be blessed, For he gives of his bread to the poor.

Make no mistake … God’s word shows clearly our path thru EVERY dark hour. Don’t miss this Sunday!

Great day …

• I still miss my wife … Silas misses his mommy as well.
• The worship team did amazing … Way to go!
• I enjoyed preaching a word of encouragement to the congregation … We really are “OUTLASTING OUR TROUBLE.”
• I just finished my Life Group and had a great time.  I’m not sure mini-mesters work for every subject.
• I love the rain, but it does hinder attendances for some weird reason … don’t know why?  I could scream when attendance tanks.
• I thought about not writing that last sentence, but there you have it anyway …
• I look forward to a few days to relax and take it easy with Silas … When Cher gets back, we’re moving into our house - Yea!  Anybody got a good back for lifting?  I’ll buy you food!
• Sore throat, but getting better.
• I love twitter … Follow me here.
• Easter is going to be huge … I’m really excited about the series we begin.
• God is changing lives at www.discoverlifechurch.tv … I sat down with a number of people this week and heard amazing testimonies of God’s grace and deliverance.  You’re going to love some of the video testimonies coming up.

Have a good week.

God,

I’m wiped out, my throat is sore and Silas and I miss Cher. Good thing tomorrow’s victory is all about and thru you. Have Your way, Jesus!

I’m currently reading ‘Axiom’ by Bill Hybels. The first chapter is entitled LANGUAGE MATTERS … I love it already. Many thanks to Bill Hybels for his leadership expressions of 30 years.

The way we say things makes such a difference for everyone. Bill says, ‘The very best leaders I know wrestle with words until they are able to communicate their big ideas in a way that captures the imagination, catalyzes action, and lifts spirits.’ Enough said, right?

When is the last time you wrestled with a thought you planned to express to someone close to you? Someone who you love and appreciate? Often we think the least about the words we say to those we value the most.

What would the church look like if we all spoke more carefully and prayerfully to one another? How would this affect our families? Our marriages? Our children? The unchurched?

Take some time to think about the things you say and the way you say them … LANGUAGE MATTERS!!

Do you ever have great days when all is well and yet you still feel a little overwhelmed and/or unsure about something? That’s me tonight. Not sure why …

- Anthony Beckham preached the house down … I LOVE his passion to reach this generation. Lots of great info and tons of enthusiasm … Thanks Bro for the word of encouragement and inspiration to reach souls for Christ.
- Stoney is an amazing keyboardist … This is gonna be fun!
- John Menton continues to bless us with his guitar hero antics … The guy wails … period. So good to be able to do Hillsong United stuff - Woohoo!
- I wanted to preach so bad today I could taste it. I’m excited to step in next week and encourage the body of Christ. We always need encouragement.
- Cher did a spectacular job today leading worship … I’m taken back by her ability to raise teams.
- My neighbor, Chiti was there for the 12th week in a row. God is truly working in his life.
- I have about 10 people I’m inviting to our Easter Sunday worship experiences. Most of them have already confirmed - Praise God!
- Our first youth worship experience on Easter will be crazy - Lots of planning but it will all be worth it when we reach this gen in a couple of weeks.
- Lastly; God, You are so good. Thank You for allowing me to pastor such a great church. I know we are heading into promise and victory. Thank You for using me at such an important time in history … Make me a soul-winner. Help me to WAKE THE CHURCH & WIN THE UNCHURCHED!

Goodnight!!!

Is that even possible?

YES!

I played ball earlier this morning after working out … I collided w/ Chiti and and payed the price (He’s 260 & I’m 175). My leg still hurts.

The cure? God’s blessing in my life is THE cure. I’m in pain and yet all I can think @ is how good God has been to me and www.discoverlifechurch.tv.

I’m absolutely pumped about the amazing day we had on Sunday and God’s hand of protection on our worship team late Sunday night when the trailer tire exploded and blew the tire well off completely!

Thank you God for blessing me and our church! Focusing on Your goodness helps me to forget the pains I face!

Amazing day … period.  BTW, every Sunday is amazing at www.discoverlifechurch.tv … no kidding.  Naturally, some days are different that others, but in the end I love every worship experience with you guys.

• Next week, I’m eating two donuts before the first worship experience - Ha!
• Packed second service … no more curtains - We will have an additional 50 or so seats.  We were at 90% today.
• Please pray for our strategic growth plan for Easter.  Our presentations are being held … Monday - 6:00 p.m. and 6:30 p.m., Tuesday - 6:30 p.m. and Saturday - 9:00 a.m.
• We are believing for our greatest Easter attendance ever.  I want to reach more hurting people than ever before with the message of the gospel.  Jesus saves and delivers - For real!
• I’m playing ball this week with Manni Lherisse.  I think I’ll stomp him ;)  I hope he reads this before Tuesday …
• Tonight our worship team ministered in Orlando … On the way home, I felt impressed to pray for God’s blessing on our church … I prayed specifically for God to keep our families safe as we traveled.  10 minutes later, I received a call that our trailer blew a tire - It blew the wheel well off completely - I guess it exploded.  GOD HEARS AND ANSWERS OUR PRAYERS - Believe it!
• Had fun at my brother’s church tonight … http://www.secondchancefellowship.com/
• I’m so tired.
• Great LG today - I think I love minimesters.  I’m so ADD, the minimesters allow me to change up a little more often.
• Tracy and Eddie Vega were in church today - Guys, we love you dearly.  Great to hang out after the worship experience.
• My friend Chiti was attended today for the 11th week in a row.  He said I’ve got to put in an hour a day in the gym this week … Does basketball count?
• Multiple meetings going on in the office complex … I love the chaos.
• Crazy fellowship before and after worship experiences today - This is so important.
• Low attendance two weeks ago - Better last week - Stellar today - Thank you God.
• Recessions come and go - God is here forever … Can you dig it?

Goodnight … I might be fixing a flat tire on 528 into the morning … God keep us.

God, have your way in every single element of our worship experience.  Be glorified in our worship and praise.  Speak through me in a way that makes sense to every hearer.  Heal the broken-hearted.  Mend relationships.  Restore the fallen.  Lift the weary.  Encourage the oppressed.  Help me to share honestly and effectively not merely from my success stories, but from my own self-inflicted wounds.  You are my God and Redeemer.  I love you lord!

In a staff meeting earlier, a thought occurred to me …

The only people I’ve ever heard joke about and/or criticize Joel Osteen have been preachers.  Don’t misunderstand me, I love a good joke and I heard Ed Young, Jr. did a great impression of Joel at his C3 conference.  I would love to have been there, as I heard it was all in fun and not at all malicious.

Could it be that some of us are so full of pride and jealousy that it bothers us when an Audio-Visual-Behind-The-Scenes-Guy is transformed into a world-impacting preacher of the Gospel of Christ?

We don’t like to think about this very often, but it is necessary at times to dismiss people from intimate communication with you … Some may say, “What?  Where’s the word say that?”  Thanks for asking … check out the following …

Romans 16:17 I urge you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and put obstacles in your way that are contrary to the teaching you have learned. Keep away from them.

Ouch!  Is that actually in the Bible?  Some people come into your life with the express purpose of draining you of all emotional and spiritual strength.  Do you know any of these people?  What is your strategy for dealing with people like this.  You should really check out the message series we’re currently in at www.discoverlifechurch.tv.  Invite someone and be here this Sunday.  You’ll learn something, for sure that will bless and benefit you as you learn to deal with people.
