MAD MONEY SUNDAY

Now that I'm at my computer for a brief while, let me catch up. I love Grace Church! I don't know about anyone else, but I had a blast Sunday morning - no wonder I'm always waiting impatiently for Sunday to roll around.

I'm enjoying teaching this series on finance, but I must admit to the fact that I was really nervous before service this week. It wasn't because I was afraid I might upset some regulars - though I may well have done - it was because when I arrived at the theater (a lot later than usual) there were so many visitors around the place.

I don't know where they all came from, but there were a bunch of new faces all over and then I started to get paranoid. I didn't want first-time guests to think that I'm another charlatan who's only interested in their money. I was afraid they'd be totally put off. So I probably apologized more than I needed to while I was speaking, because it was pretty heavy stuff. Bottom line - God knows!

I did like the clips from The King Of Queens that I used. I thought they were hilarious. I've only ever watched one episode of the show before and that was while I was on a plane, but I might be tempted to check it out a bit more.

In case you weren't there, I did mention that next Sunday as I wrap up this series we're going to look at tithing very thoroughly. I also said that if that's likely to trouble you, feel free to take the morning off. Hey, last time I checked, the book said God loves cheerful givers!
