What was it the blind man knew?

This question was asked in church this morning and alot of people had a different answer and I thought about it for along time actually and here is my answer and why...

When Jesus was roaming the country sides doing miracles his reputation began to proceed him....So when he came to the blind man, the blind man knew that Jesus could heal him from what afflicted him.

It was after he was healed that he beleived the he was the Christ....he knew that this man could do miracles but it was not until after his healing did he "see" the big picture.

So often that is the way it works....first comes the experience but then comes the real truly beleiving in who God says he is.

Does that make sense

Lifes awesome like that!!!

Today was cool bacuase me and the kids spent time with some very close friends of ours...The Howard family.

Shawn and I spent some time dicussing theology and our faith (which we do alot when we visit)....Most of the time (ok almost all of the time) we are on the same page and we view the state of the church in some of the same light.....but like any good healhthy relationship there is always going to be something that you might not agree with no matter what side of the conversation you are on.

This is where I am going with this....I beleive alot of people are unable to hold healthy conversations when it comes to our beleifs because so often someone has to be...Listen that person you are talking to can have an insight that you would never have thought about.

When push comes to shove we all serve the same GOD!!!

It's Friday.....again

It's been a long week for some reason. The word has not come easy to me this week and neither has my prayer time.

Last Sunday was my first SUnday not working for almost 2 months and I went to fellowship at a church called Living Word Fellowship (http://www.lwfdinuba.com). It was really awesome....a great time of ministry and worship but I am ready to get back to Wellspring and just pray God something great in that church.

Right now one of the things I think about is how much I want GOD to begin to pour out his spirit and I see it starting to happen in different places and I want to see it happen in the central valley because I feel if it starts to happen here it will pour out of the valley and into So and Nor Cal.

I am almost done with the book of John and I think I am going to start back into Acts again. I just need God to reveal himself to me.
