I had my very first (and only so far) Uber experience earlier this year after returning from a Disney cruise at PortMiami. The entire experience was wonderful, and my Uber driver and I had a pleasant conversation for about 9 miles. I’ll definitely use Uber again in the future.
Now if UberChristian were a real thing …
The weekend is just getting started. I’m going RETRO back to 2008 tomorrow night.
Every Monday night I post my all-new Top 10 Christian hit music chart based on personal preference. Here it is – for the week ending Sunday August 19TH 2018:
Hillsong Worship out of Australia scores the 25TH # 1 smash during the current Christian pop era of my chart. It’s their follow-up to last year’s Top 3 hit “What A Beautiful Name”. It’s also the 2ND # 1 smash from a Hillsong band. Hillsong United spent 5 weeks at # 1 last July and August with “Wonder”.
This concludes my 4 blogs this weekend. I’ll be back next weekend with all-new blogs on Thursday, Friday, Sunday, and Monday. I don’t blog on Saturdays. That’s my day of rest. Your likes, follows, and comments are always appreciated. Thank You for being part of my online ministry to win souls for Christ. Enjoy this week. And remember you are a child of God. Yes you are.
But to all who believed Him and accepted Him – He gave the right to become children of God. (John 1:12 NLT)
At the start of every Sunday morning service at Living Waters we celebrate The Lord with “Praise & Worship” to Him. We sing 4 contemporary worship songs together. At the conclusion of the first song I take a front-and-center position to welcome my brothers and sisters of my church family to another beautiful Sunday morning experience. I also read a Psalm of celebration (a different one each week).
This morning I read the first 3 verses of the 34TH Psalm:
I will praise the LORD at all times. I will constantly speak His praises. I will boast only in the LORD. Let all who are helpless take heart. Come – let us tell of the LORD’s greatness. Let us exalt His name together.
And the Psalm is always followed-up with Psalm 118:24:
… For this is the day the LORD has made. We will rejoice, and be glad in it.
And then I invite my church family to continue our praise, our worship, our celebration of our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ as our Praise & Worship leaders segue into the second song.
Praise & Worship is my favorite part of the Sunday morning service, and opening our service in that manner each week seems to be working out pretty good. God is Glorified with each verse of His voice in each song. We sing for God ! We exalt His name together !
Every Friday night I post the Top 5 of one of my classic hit music charts based on personal preference from either 10, 20, or 30 years ago (rotating each week). Here it is – for the week ending Sunday August 21ST 1988:
30 years ago this weekend the 21-year-old edition of me lived 7½-miles away (by road) from where I live today, and I worked about a mile away from where I work today on the same United States Air Force installation that I worked back then. A 10-speed bike was my only form of transportation in 1988. Today it’s a 2018 Honda Civic.
By the Summer of 1988 I had made the decision to reenlist in the USAF for another 4 years in uniform. Now I’ve got over 33 years of Federal service in, and I plan to retire 5 years from now. I also plan to move away from here 5 years from now.
But while those are my plans – they may not be God’s plans for me. On this 12TH Anniversary of the start of my salvation I’ve figured it out by now. Go with God’s plans. They are plans for good – and not for disaster – to give me a future and a hope.
It’s halftime. I’ll be back on Sunday and Monday with my remaining two blogs for this weekend. Enjoy your Saturday. Make memories of a lifetime !
