Around Thanksgiving, we are always thinking about what we are thankful
for.  I am thinking this year about who is thankful for
me?  It really puts life into perspective.  I have a beautiful wife
and 4 almost 5 kids that are thankful for me.  My parents, church
family, pastors, producing clients, and many of you.  It’s cool to
think about but also kind of scary.  You don’t really realize how
much of an impact you make when you are actively loving on people.
Actively doing God’s call on your life.

I was playing a worship/holy spirit night at a church this weekend and
realized how strong our longing for a real experience with Jesus is.
We will do anything to manipulate or create that experience. Lights,
candles, modern music, older music(Hymns), big sound, and many other
ways.  God uses all these things but only when and if he wants to.
The major thing we forget is that he is a living God. Your everyday
experience with him should be just as real and more relevant than the
flashy Sunday morning or night you experienced last week. Things like
communion are very special but when you don’t apply that connection in
real life, then you will never fully understand what it is to take his
body and drink of his blood. If we want to make a mark in his name,
then we need stop trying so hard to experience him and just live in
his presence with his word flowing through our actions and mouths.

I thank you for thanking me! The encouraging words you give are what reminds me
that I’m doing what I’m called to.
