And it rained...

and it rained...and it rained......

Today we were going to run a 10K, but we woke up to flooding streets and rainy madness. Nothing life threatening, but we don`t want to swin a 10K, so Norman decide to pass. Later we found out that Susan had to evacuate the house in Izumi because of possible flooding. Please pray for her. She still hasn`t had the baby. Her due date was the 21st.

Things have been going relatively smoothly. We`ve been doing a lot of team building stuff, and not too much ministry, which is fine, I guess. I`m not complaining. God has brought a great group of guys and gals here, and it`s always a blessing to spend time with them, no matter what we do.

Phillipians 2:4-8

Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others. Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count eequality with God a thing to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.

God has been showing me a lot lately how selfish I am, and how often I put myself above others, including Christ. Hopefully I can have the good sense to continue to pray and work on this. I can`t think of much else to say now, so that`s all. God loves you.
