Today was a good day.  Last night, the family drove to Roanoke (When we picked up Rebecca on Friday night, she dropped her cell phone in the parking lot Ruby Tuesday’s.  So we had to return to pick it up.)  In addition, we went to see the Southern Wesleyan University Jazz Ensemble.  They were really good and we enjoyed the concert. 

Today, we had a good service and I preached with everything I had.  I was so into preaching today, at one point I really slipped in a southern phrase, “All Y’all.”  The congregation really enjoyed it.  I preached on the importance of having a soft spiritual heart. 

This afternoon, we lifted our services in support of a Singspiration at one of our community churches.  It was in honor of their pastor who has resigned and taken another church.  Again, we enjoyed some great music of all different genres.  After that they had a hot dog supper, in which the ladies of the church did a great job.

Following that, we had a choir practice for Easter.  The group is sounding great and I’m looking forward to a great Easter Sunday Celebration.  There was a particular line that I thought I would leave you with tonight.  It’s from the hymn “My Heart is Filled” which is part of our Easter Celebration.

For ev’ry day I have on earth
Is given by the King;
So I will give my life, my all,
To love and follow him.

I hope that is your prayer today.
