CBC closed tonight!

Due to the weather (and the Level 2 snow emergency in Clark County), Prayer AXIS and Worship Choir rehearsal are canceled tonight (Wednesday, January 28). Choir will still rehearse at 9 am Sunday.

Two things I learned about the Bible today...

I think it's important to always be studying and learning more about the Bible...here are two random things that I found today...if I knew them before, I didn't remember.

#1. Joseph appears to have been quite the tattletale.
Gen. 37:2


#2. The early Christians were described as "turning the world upside-down".
Acts 17:6


What have you found in your Bible study lately? Send me an e-mail or Facebook message...I'd love to hear about it!

Church activities canceled tonight!

Due to the weather, Cornerstone will be closed tonight (Sunday), January 25.

Wow, it's been a while!

I'm still here...still planning to write on the blog...that hasn't changed...but sometimes...it takes a while before I remember to do that!

Part of the reason it's taken forever to get a new blog from me is how much stuff has been happening in our lives. For starters, we're deep into basketball season. In case you don't know, Molly and I coach girls basketball at Northwestern High School, so the winter months are a little crazier than the rest of the year! Our team hasn't won as many games as we would have hoped, but we still have eight games left this season, so we're hoping our record improves over the next few weeks.

We enjoyed spending a few days in Michigan over Christmas break with my family. It's nice to get to be at "home" for a little longer than normal...usually between Molly working Monday-Friday and me having to be here on Sundays, there's not many chances to spend a three-day stretch in "that state up north".

Our most exciting recent news is that we are buying our first house! I won the house at an auction, which was a crazy experience, to say the least. We are supposed to close by February 12, and will be living in the Northwestern school district at 2330 Leon Lane. Once we close, we'll need to decide what projects we want to do before "moving day", whenever that is. We've alternated being elated and terrified and everything in between about the "homeowning experience"...it's great to know that God is in control, though.

We actually had bid on one other house through the HUD program, and our bid ended up being exactly one dollar lower than the winning price. The HUD house had a lot more work that needed to be done, so it's neat to think that even though we were disappointed we didn't get that one, God led us to a much nicer home as a result!

In my spare time (hah!), I'm occasionally writing live blogs for Cedarville's athletics website. If you check out http://yellowjackets.cedarville.edu during some of the home basketball games, you can participate in a live blog where I provide computer analysis, answer questions, run polls, respond to comments, and much more. The next one is this Saturday night, January 24.

I've really appreciated Pastor Sam's sermon series on the Sabbath. As he mentioned Sunday, keeping the Sabbath is often the "forgotten" commandment. I hope each of you have spent some time thinking about how you can change the way you spend the Lord's Day each week to be more honoring and obedient to Him...I know I have. Maybe for some of you, it might mean trying our adult small groups on Sunday night. I'm really excited about the formation of these new mixed-age small groups that will run through 2009. If you haven't come to small groups in a while, or maybe have never checked them out...why not start Sunday? We'd love to have you!

Have an awesome week! Thanks for reading!

Pastor Tim
