Pickin' for The Lord

I have been playing the guitar since I was thirteen (that would be about forty-four years). However, I have not played it very often in the last five or ten years since I spend most of my time on the computer!

In an effort to pry me away from the computer my wife has been bugging me to join the praise band at church and start playing the guitar again. I kept ignoring her until a couple of weeks ago, when one Sunday in church two guys with guitars and a harmonica played some special music during service. It was wonderful and made me want to pick up my guitar again. Then after church I told one of the guys what a great job he did and how much I enjoyed the music. He replied, "your wife tells me that you play the guitar too, you ought to come join us." I made the excuse that I was way too busy and left it at that.

However, the following Wednesday night, I had the sudden urge to pick up my guitar and go up to the church and join them for practice. They were surprised to see me but welcomed me with open arms. Now the praise band had three guitars!

Needless to say, my fingers still worked just fine and I had a GREAT time playing the guitar again. The next day I went out and bought a brand new set of strings for my guitar and I was once again pickin' like an old pro!

I don't know if it was my wife's nagging, the special invitation from my fellow church member or a little nudge from God that brought me to the church with my guitar that night. But I'm glad that I joined the praise band, and today we made our debut at church as a trio and if I do say so myself, we sounded terrific!

Feeding on God's Word

It's not very often that I miss a meal. I'm sure most of you are the same way. We always seem to make time to sit down and eat. Can we honestly say the same when it comes to feeding on God's Word? Do we make time each day to sit down and read the Bible so we can nourish our soul? It takes much more discipline to schedule time for Bible reading than it does to schedule a meal. In fact, most of us don't have to schedule meals...it has just become a habit to sit down three times a day to feed our body.

When He was tempted by the devil in Matthew 4:4, "Jesus answered, It is written: 'Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.'" How often do you read God's Word?

• Once a day
• Several times a day
• Once a week
• Once a month

I try to read my Bible daily, but it doesn't always happen. However, I have found that since I am on the computer 8 hours a day at work and several hours a day at home, it is pretty easy to go on line to Bible Gateway and get my daily dose of God's Word.

How Often Do You Attend Church?

Just curious...how often do you attend church?

• Are you there every Sunday or only on special occasions like Easter and Christmas?
  
• Do you also participate in other things at church such as bible study groups or missions and outreach programs?
  
• Maybe you don't even go to church at all.
