At First Presbyterian Church, Jeff City, there is a mission trip heading to the AMAZON!! No, not amazon.com, but PERU!! No, not Lima, Ohio, PERU!! I think there are still spots to go if you ... http://www.presbykv.org/blog/2009/03/16/mission/ Surprises abound. And they are good. I don't know if you have been following the European Soccer Championship but I have. And if you had asked me, "Mike, who's going to win?" I would have said, "Holland or Portugal. They will meet in the final ... http://www.presbykv.org/blog/2008/06/23/surprises-are-good/ Thursdays for college students are "the new friday." For me, as a pastor, thursdays are also my fridays. I try and get ahead, anticipate needs, do some of next week's work today. There are at least two challenges in my work of ministry that may be similar to your ... http://www.presbykv.org/blog/2008/05/01/20-chance-of-rain-100-chance-of-work/ Tonight is the last night of the Montreat Youth Conference.

The Ides of March not only makes me think of Julius Ceasar (the Play more than the Man) ... http://www.presbykv.org/blog/2007/03/15/thursday-the-ides-of-march-blauuw/ I don't know if you've ever wondered if the word 'snow' occurs in the bible. I have. I did, just now. I checked an online resource, Oremus Bible Browswer and searched under 'snow.' Tons of references show up, many mentioned leprosy or killing lions, none of ... http://www.presbykv.org/blog/2007/02/06/snow-on-tuesday/ I drove down to Columbia on Thursday morning for a meeting of the Committee that talks about Covenant Point Camp. It doesn't seem write to call this a 'camp meeting' without speaking in tongues or something, but it was a camp committee meeting I guess. I am glad ... http://www.presbykv.org/blog/2006/12/08/thursday-drive/ Thanks to Greg Marshall's help and our terrific church's website, I can post to a blog. 'Blog' is a word that has crept into our everyday language, if not into our dictionaries, and I admit I can't precisely define it.
