Happy and Holy New Year in 2023

I must apologize for the months of inactivity. I have not been well, and I am struggling to bring my diabetes under control again. I know I had said that we would resume on 2023 Jan 12, and I still hope to do so, but I must ask for your support in prayer. I have pulpit supply in a congregation where the primary source of speaking has been diagnosed with cancer, and I and others are taking up the slack.

This means a whole lot of work in the study and preaching and teaching the word. I like that, it’s what I want to do, but I also have a part-time job that I have been using to pay some of the bills at my house, because I don’t get paid a great deal for pulpit supply, though I am fairly compensated. In fact, I had the privilege of preaching New Year’s Day, and you can find that here:

You’ll notice I am favoring my left leg. In the dangerous and highly risky activity of putting on my sock, my knee snapped and I wasn’t able to put weight on it for nearly a week. It figures that it was 20 minutes before I had to go out the door to preach, too. I did my impression of a flamingo for a couple hours and then called in sick to my flooring store job, which cost me income, something I can ill afford to lose these days.

All of this to say that I appreciate your prayers, I need help to focus and get it all done. Have a happy and holy 2023. Keep following Christ because He will be returning soon to rescue us once and for all from this present evil age.
