Blue Building

I truly love the church I am attending and one of the things I love about it, it has a desire to help the south side neighborhood community and one step in doing that will be finalized this week when we close on the purchase of the "blue building".  The blue building, after remodeling, will house the church offices, allow small groups to meet there, have after school programs, possibly a clothes closet and food pantry, and so much more!  We believe in operating debt free and to do all the remodeling that needs to be done, it looks like we need somewhere around $70,000.  We will be starting a campaign to contact friends and family to see if they would want to donate to this worthy cause - but I'm not the best at asking for money - now if we were selling something to raise funds I'd definitely try to get you to buy whatever I was selling :)  That said - I would ask all my family and friends that are believers to please place Living Waters Fellowship and the blue building project in your daily prayers that we can meet this goal to get this building into operation as quickly as possibly.  And if you aren't a believer, to please send positive thoughts our way.

Today was Communion Sunday and Pastor Daggs (that's one of his nicknames) had a great sermon and was able to relate his broken arm/elbow perfectly in with the scripture.  The scripture was how Christ cried out to God on the cross, "why have You forsaken me?" and Pastor Daggs talked about how at times since his arm was injured he felt it had forsaken him.  Trust me it was awesome and spot on - you had to be there.

He also talked about the immense pain Christ went through and how his broken arm's pain - while painful to him - was nothing compared to Christ's pain on the cross.  I had shared with Pastor Dagg's my "moment" one night dealing with my hand when it hit me that my boo boo was probably close to the size of the nail hole in Christ's hand and how my boo boo was only a few layers deep but His went clear through his hand - wow.

LWF is an awesome church and we are very blessed to have Pastor Daggs as our Pastor (he calls himself our lead Elder).  We have another awesome Elder (Greg) who filled in for Pastor Daggs last week.  Both these men are very passionate about their belief and awesome dudes :)

Ok, once again I'm having issues uploading photos to my blog.  This isn't the photo I wanted in this update but it will have to do.  The photo I wanted was the one the night right after the top was taken off this "thing" on my hand when it was blood red and it was completely open, not any dead skin at the top like in this photo.
