Lookin' forward to Monday?!?

Yes! Memphis Tigers won the final four game against UCLA. While I'm not the biggest college basketball fan, or the biggest tigers fan, believe me when I say that this is great. For those of us who remember when Memphis would choke big time in the last half, this is a welcome sight. Those guys didn't give up at all. The word Domination came to mind. Hopefully Monday will bring a championship title to the Bluff City. That would be ok with me and would be the delight of all true Memphis Tigers fans.
Yesterday's post was all about moving stuff out of my Mom's house. How did it go? Pretty good except for getting the Uhaul truck stuck in my father-in-law's front yard. You would think that after 3 or 4 days of rain that I wouldn't pull a big truck on his grass. Well I did. Luckily he is out of town until tomorrow afternoon. I planned to get some sod and fix the ruts today, but I couldn't bring myself to do it. Not that big of a deal to fix the yard, but to fix the $75.00 hole in my wallet for the tow truck will take a bit. Oh, well, lesson learned.
Tomorrow is Sunday, my favorite day of the week. Why? Church of course! I love to be with God's people and I love to worship the Lord. There is nothing better than being saved, sure, and serving. Many people are cynics today, especially about 'religion', but most don't realize that religion is nothing without salvation. Jesus didn't die for religion, or to bring religion into peoples lives, but to pay the sin debt for the whole world. Jesus didn't come into the world to give religion power over people, but to free people from the power of sin. Very few lost people care to understand the gospel as it is in truth because they don't want to admit guilt before a holy God. "Me, guilty?" Why yes, we all are. The only difference between saved people and lost people is not religion, but a decision to accept the free gift of salvation through Jesus Christ the Righteous. There are always going to be hypocrites that bring reproach on the church or on Christians, but that won't stop the saved of this earth from warning those cynics of the danger of Hell. It's a reality, whether you believe it or not. Jesus saves, sin enslaves.
Joh 3:16-18 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God."
