Just had to steal my mothers line ;) but I have been blessed!

How many have shown up on the designated Church work day, only to be one
of a handful present?  Well, two Saturdays ago was our pre-anniversary
work day.  From a congregation of about 30 (total) 18 showed up to work
or help (one man _can't_ work, he brough a cooler of soda); we had 17
that Wed at Bible Study.  So, I goto the best Church.

We had our annual faith promise service for missions (last week).  After
I figured what I could afford, what I would sacrifice (sandwiches for
lunch), and what I'd give by faith it was a good bit more than last year
(almost an order of magnitude!).  Well, you may have noticed I haven't
been posting as much last week and this week; I've been busy building
computers and running down upgrade parts - the next 2 months of my faith
promise are taken care of now and I paid off a bill that more than
covers the faith promise for the rest of the year!

TOP THAT!

In the begining God said "BANG" and it was "BIG"
