Finishing Well

I plan to retire...right after lunch on the day I die! Until then I'm here to serve God, love people and talk about Jesus!

Monday's cartoon

I love dumb humor like this. It's just so bad it makes you smile even though you have heard the joke a hundred times. So, since it's cold and rainy today here's something to make you groan and smile. Have a great day.

Finishing Well

We only live once and then comes eternity.

I want to live in, walk in, soak in the love of God to such an extent that others are drawn to God because of their encounter with me!

Finishing Well is all about how we live our moments. The moments and encounters with others add up to a life lived for self or for God. At the end of my life may people say, "He lived for Christ. He finished well."

Translate

Mike Messerli: An old pastor trying to finish well. "I want to live in, walk in, soak in the love of God to such an extent that others are drawn to God because of their encounter with me." 1 Corinthians16:14

Good News!

The most important decision anyone will make is what they believe about God and his message to mankind. If you don't know God personally, but would like to know his love and forgiveness I invite you to take a moment to find out about the GOOD NEWS!

I am second...

There is a web site with stories of lives changed by knowing Jesus Christ as savior. It's a place I invite you to visit. It's called "I am second."
