Men

What a time we had this past weekend. We had our annual CWC men’s conference at Ingallwood Park here in DeRidder. Friday night was cold, but the food was good and hot. We were blessed to have the praise team from the Leeville Family Worship Center come and lead us in a time of worship that was great. Then Pastor Jerry shared an awesome word from God. I will share more about the conference later. I’ve got some stuff to do so I will catch u later.

On My Feet

Mabelle — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 14:48:38 +0000

Do not rejoice over me, my enemy, when I fall for I shall arise. This has always been one of my favorite passages of scripture, but for the last couple of months it has taken on new meaning for me. This scripture has become a promise from the Lord for me. I’m getting my stride back! I’m on the road again. Kinda sounds like a Willie Nelson song, doesn’t it? It’s good to be able to visit folks in the hospital again and hang around the office at church to keep things stirred up. God is always faithful and His promises are forever. Thanks, CWC, for all the prayers and help.

Believers’ Bible Church

The men’s fellowship we attended in Pitkin was lots of fun. The guys from there had cooked a hog, and it tasted great. I’m all about good food, and there was more than enough to go around. They did many demonstrations about guy stuff and the fellowship was great. It’s always a blast to hang out with other men of God who you have a lot in common with. Pitkin, Louisiana is full of rednecks, so our guys from CWC felt at home. Pastor Brian from Believers’ Bible Church ended with a word about how the flesh and bones of this world are only temporary, and as men of God we need to focus on the things that are eternal. Thanks, BBC, for the invite.

Bus

What a cool time we had tonight. A bunch of us CWC guys ganged up at the church this evening. We piled into our bus and hit the road. Been needing to run the bus some, so we decided to take it to Pitkin. A good friend of mine pastors a church there, Believers’ Bible Church. They had a men’s fellowship, and it was definitely worth the trip. I drove the bus over there, and it was a blast. The doctors have told me that I can’t drive a car. But they didn’t say I couldn’t drive a bus!

BS Bike Rally

Mabelle — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 14:53:01 +0000

Yesterday was a really cool day. Not the weather, but the fun! We had bikes from all over the DeRidder area come to Christway Church and participate in the BS run. We even had a couple of riders show up from Mississippi. The food was great, the kids had a great time just running and jumping, you know, just doing what kids do. The Buck Shot Run was a total success, and I just wanted to say thanks to all the folks who did and gave so much to make it so. Sandy and I are so blessed to have such an awesome church family.

Something New

Mabelle — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 14:38:36 +0000

I just left the home of a wonderful lady who is almost one hundred years old. I went by to visit and pray with her. Her health is not all that it should be, our bodies just wear out over time on this earth. But spiritually, she is strong in the Lord and the power of His might. As I prayed for her, she, in turn, prayed for me. I could feel the presence of Jesus in the room in an awesome way. She made a statement that I think will stay with me the rest of my life. She said ” I have been here a long time, I’ve seen just about everything this world has to offer, and I’m ready to see something new”. Wow! Then she spoke of streets of gold and the beauty of the Lord. I love that old gal, and I’m like her. I’m ready to see something new.

Good News

I am excited that we finally have the blueprints for our new youth building. Phil, who is an architect here in DeRidder, finished them up for Christway this week. So, we should start the building in the next few weeks! I am excited about what this is gonna mean for CWC. Our youth group is growing like crazy and have outgrown their room upstairs. When they move to their new building, it will open up more room for our other children’s ministries that are also booming! Thanks, Christway Church, for all your support and commitment to the cause of Christ.

Prayer

Mabelle — Tue, 09 Feb 2010 13:27:53 +0000

I believe a church can only be as strong as the foundation it is built on. That foundation must be built out of prayer! Tonight we had a really great turnout at our prayer meeting. If we are going to see a great move of God in the DeRidder area, it will start with a group of believers who will spend time in fellowship with the Lord. Thanks again, Christway Church, for your commitment.

Superbowl 44

Mabelle — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 11:22:01 +0000

Well, I guess it was destiny? The New Orleans Saints finally won a Superbowl! We had a great time watching the Saints overcome the odds and defeat the Colts. CWC, as usual, had a great turn out for our Superbowl party. Joe and Jenn’s house was packed with a bunch of wild and crazy Saints’ fans. Thanks, Saints, for a great season and thanks, Christway Church, for a great night of food and fun.

Birthday

Mabelle — Thu, 28 Jan 2010 13:23:46 +0000

Forty-two years ago yesterday, my mom brought me into this world. It reminds me of an old joke. It goes like this: you are so ugly that when you were born that the doctor didn’t know which end to slap. Lol. It’s hard to believe how quickly time flies by. It only seems like yesterday that I was a little boy with all kinda time at my disposal. Well, guess what? The clock is ticking, and time is not a renewable resource. I have much left to do for the Kingdom of God, and so do you.
