Bye Bye...lil' Buddy

I'm preaching a series on walking the Christian walk from Ephesians 4 throughout October. Tomorrow I'm talking about walking toward maturity. It kinda got me thinking about this guy....me about 37 years ago. I had no idea what life was...or what it would be like when I was this age. It's really kinda surreal to look at this picture of a virtually empty slate and realize that God had a plan. I am baffled when I think of where He has brought me in 37 yrs. Yet at the same time I know that from His word, it has not even entered my mind or imagination where He is taking me in the future. I am sure of one thing however...what His plan is leading to..."that we henceforth be no more children..." Ephesians 4:14. Goodbye lil' Buddy.

Everytime I see this photo I think that maybe we should keep trying for a boy! You were such a cutie-pie!

Welcome back, Li'l, I mean Big Buddy. While Boonie's sermon titles yesterday didn't match the one in this post, the message behind both a.m. and p.m. sermons did. Wow, it was a great day. Take care.

Hey I missed the whole Bean discussion. I come back to the common saints blog and all of the sudden there was a little controversy. I do hate that I missed it. When I saw the picture I thought the little boy had to go to the restroom. Just Kidding. I am not going to tell you that you are cute, I just can't sorry.
Grow Up - good message for many in the church today. I like it.
