Misconceptions

You know at men's group we are studying the wild at heart book and something that comes up from time to time is that Jesus is perceived as the nice guy, the healer, and even our own perceptions of him may be the same. Jesus came to earth as our savior, he healed the sick made the blind see, raised the dead you get my point.
But tonight on my way home from band practice, I was listening to the radio and they were talking about how Jesus was not the wimpy kind of figure we make him out to be.
If you think about the big burly masculine guy you might think of muscles and callused hands rough face etc.. then think about the less masculine guys and maybe it would be a hair dresser or lawyer with nice hands, suits, manicures etc..
So think about this, if you were to shake Jesus hand would he not have the hands of a carpenter?
Callused and rough, would his handshake be firm and self confident?
You could almost consider him a gentle Giant!
Now that's something to think about!

Softball

Looks like 2 mens and 1 womens team this year, which is a good thing, until you have to start putting teams together.

Stargazing

On the way home from Men's group I looked up and saw the Moon, it was a crescent and above it to the left was a bright star, I'm guessing one of the planets?
But seeing that made me also look around at the sky and all of the "light Pollution" that we have.

In our Sunday night group we just started studying the book of Matthew and how the Magi followed the star, and I couldn't help to think that it must have been a beautiful bright light, and it had to have stood out against the black sky.

There are so many Airplanes, cities that light up the skyline, radio towers, house lights, electrical towers that blink red etc.. do we ever truly get the pureness of all of the stars and lights that God put in our sky to see?

What next?

So I'm trying to get a Womens softball league together and there seems to be little participation from the male coaches in our Mens league with helping. So if anyone stops by, could you give me some Ideas of how to contact these women?

Well I didn't die, and it was much easier than I thought it would be...One big thing I have noticed is the sinus congestion that I use to wake up with every morning is clearing up.
Still mad about it though...someone should tell you, that they are addictive and you just cant stop after 23 years.
