FALL IS ARRIVING!

THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS HAVE BEEN FULL OF ANNIVERSARY, THE GALA, THE ACD LUNCHEON, THE WEEKEND, AND FINALLY THE CLASS OF 1955 CLASS REUNION.

It has been quite fun to say the least.  John's class is quite something.  I listened to stories last night that I couldn't have even dreamed up.  They were shamefully mischievous. 

My God's Girl's With Swords (County Line Group) met at Moose Lake Wednesday night.  What a great place to have Bible Study.  They are so accommodating over there. 

====================================================================

When we think about celebrating victory or recovery - I love God's verse in Isaiah 57: 18

I have seen his (willful) ways, but I will heal him;  I will lead him also and will recompense him and restore comfort to him and to those who mourn for him.

The program Celebrate Recovery is going to be a huge step in Dekalb County in whatever church presents it.  Whether you have fear, anxiety, addictions to tv, relationship issues, anger issues, eating, drinking, it doesn't matter;  you will see how God restores through this program.  This verse says it all.  Whatever you have dealt with, or are dealing with, he will set you back up in righteousness.

It is a matter of you realizing, you are not God, and that you need Him to step in and help you find recovery.  He does the work.  WE just need to confess that we need Him and we can't do it ourselves.

The old 12 step program, has a coined phrase from Bill Hybels.  I can't, You can, so Go ahead!

I am very excited about all of the programs that some churches are making available to their congregations.  Classes for men, new Christian classes, how to talk to a new Christian, Celebrate Recovery.  Project 52.  Amazing.  Everywhere we turn, there He is.
