Pastor Kevin worked hard on a video that we used last weekend, as part of the message. It was very "tongue in cheek", mind you. The concept was, I will tell my story, because that's the story I know best - but my story actually reveals God's grace. So, while I may talk about me, it's really all about Him!
From now on, whenever I tell a story - one where I am a character - I'll be sure to connect the dots to reveal God's grace. You too?
Check out the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLfZVyIu-g8
From now on, if you want to see any video we show at Portage Free Methodist Church, simply go to http://www.youtube.com/ and search for pfmc!

First Day at Portage FMC!
While this picture looks like the typical rectangular auditorium - it isn't. It's actually kind of square and a nice stage - a beautiful place.
I can't wait until it's filled with people. A building is nice - but one filled with image bearers of God is more than amazing! Tomorrow morning! BooYah!
Tomorrow I officially begin my ministry in Portage. I'll be preaching on the concept of story. Specifically: Stories worth telling. Here's the point: Your story is worth telling, because it reveals the grace of God.
Hey - you have a story - but it's really not about you. It's about God - and that just takes a little bit of looking. So look for God at work in your life - he's there!
I'm thankful he has been in my life - first wooing me towards him, and then filling and using me.
Thanks God!

House?
Hey - we sold our home!
Yay to God! We accepted an offer, (Thanks Dan - you put the "Dan" back into "Danberry!") on a Thursday and closed two weeks and one day later! Wow!
And then, we went house-hunting in Portage. While we've been doing internet searches like crazy, this was our first day to actually go inside these homes.
Clarence - YOU ROCK! - took us through 11 of our favorite homes last Monday.
We came back on Wednesday to tour this one again.
I ran to see Greg at Bank of America and got my pre-approval for the loan and we made an offer on this house Wednesday evening.
So now, we're waiting.
Pray with us, won't you? We think this will be a fantastic ministry home and a wonderful place for our kids. Plus, Mary and I like it alot!
