"We who preach & write, do so in a manner different from which the Scriptures have been written. We write while we make progress. We learn something new every day. We speak as we still knock for understanding…If anyone criticizes me when I have said what is right, he does me an injustice. But I would be more angry with the one who praises me and takes what I have written for Gospel truth than I would be with the one who criticizes me unfairly." Augustine

gladness of heart

These are exciting days…I heard the hits on the web are over a 1000 yesterday and probably will triple today…that is such a blessing…I have Jen coming to help today and Debbie if needed…please call her if you think you need 5 people in the office….i also asked Jared to help in the afternoon if needed, if the phones are too much to handle for the five of you….let’s see how the day progresses.

            My reason for writing to you this morning is because of my devotion this morning, and how God spoke to me…so this is more about me than you, but I sensed you may be going through some similar feelings of being overwhelmed…this may be presumptuous…hopefully you will be challenged and encouraged.  I was reading in Deut 28:47:

            “Because you did not serve the Lord your God with joyfulness and gladness of heart, because of the abundance of all things, therefore you shall serve your enemies…”

This verse so convicted me!!!  “Oh Lord God, please help me, and the entire staff at Lamplighter today to serve you with gladness of heart and joyfulness…so that we enjoy serving you and others.”

Jen, thanks for helping!
