I’m here out of obedience. We found our way here through precious friends, Art and Anige.

Have I been a naughty boy? Way back when, did I leave the trail of obedience and go my own way? Well, yes to all of the above. But that’s not why I’m here. I’m here because its where God’s called me to be right now. Here in this church in particular. I don’t do much randomly, for long. I love being spontaneous, but that doesn’t mean that what I do escapes scrutiny. I examine all I do, heeding scripture like 1 Thessalonians 5:19-22, Galatians 5, and Hebrews 5:14 to name a few.

He has saved us and called us to a holy life—not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time,

2 Timothy 1:9

That word – HOLY – means set apart by God, and to God, for his use. We’ve come to think of the word to mean that whatever is HOLY is in someway special in itself.

We have the expression: “Holier Than Thou”

Its a put down, a criticism to say, “that guy thinks he’s so HOLY” and I’d say that a person who supposes that they are better than everyone and anyone might think that they are HOLY, but they just might be deluded if they think it means they are special in terms of comparing themselves to others. Read Galatians 6:4 for more about that.

When people think that I’m ambitious… they probably get nervous. Nobody knows me just yet. What if . . . ? comes to mind.

So, I’ll wait it out.

In the meantime, I know my calling, cuz I can’t run from it. And I’m doing it. I need others to help me complete it. Today I got some help.

After church Adele Roberts approached Cheryl, offering her a Bible. One of the ones River Valley Vancouver gives away. Cheryl carries her Bible in her big purse, so that she has everything in one unforgettable place, so she told Adele that she already has one.

We’d just stood up, after the service, and were heading out the door, when we were interrupted by Glen and Adele with this offer…

Well, as we talked I told her I ended up telling her the story of my Great Grandfather Alexander’s lost bible, one I wished I still had, but didn’t know its value/significance until too late, never having meant to leave it behind when I went to stay with my brother all those years ago.

After telling her a bit of the story, she said that it gave her chills, and I oughta write a book. Well, you’re not the only one that thinks that, Adele. Not the least of which, I believe, is God. He’s called me to write a book.

Mark said the same thing to me.

I’m a good writer.

Am I ambitious? Did I say that already? I gotta leaf through my writing to find what I’ve written about that…. oh, here it is > CLICK <
