A Day In Thy Courts

"For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand.  I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness."  (Psalm 84:10)

Fellowship at Greydene Baptist

My family and I have had some wonderful times in God's house these past couple of weeks. Last Sunday, we presented our ministry at Penrose Baptist Church in Penrose, CO and at Greydene Baptist Church in Canon City, CO.  We had a wonderful time of fellowship with both of those churches and their pastors.  Penrose Baptist put on a Thanksgiving lunch while we were with them, and Greydene Baptist had a fellowship dinner that evening!  As if we needed more food!  We were also able to present our ministry at a church in Fountain, CO on Wednesday Night.  A special thank you to those churches, and those pastors for allowing us to come and present our ministries.  Thanks for going out of your way to make us feel welcome!

This past Sunday, we were able to present our ministry at Platteville Baptist Church in Platteville, CO.  Brother Don Smith is the pastor.  On Saturday night, Pastor Smith and his wife took us out to eat, and we had a great time of fellowship.  I think the kids were getting tired of the two preachers talking, but they did very well! 

Platteville Baptist Church

I've known Brother Smith for about 11 years, and we've seen each other in several preaching conferences over the years.  But, this was the first time that my family and I have been able to go to his church.  I must say that we had a wonderful time.  We really enjoyed the fellowship with the people of the church, and I had tremendous liberty to preach the message that the Lord gave me.  What a blessing! 

After the morning service, we went out for lunch with the Smiths, and talked up a storm once again.  When we were getting ready to go, Pastor Smith told me that the church would be taking us on for support.  Praise the Lord!

That evening, we were able to visit with Brother Randy Mayer.  He is a church-planter in Milliken, CO sent out by Platteville Baptist Church.  I've known Brother Mayer almost as long as I've known Brother Smith.  So, it was a really blessing getting to see him and his wife again.  

What a blessing it is to be about the King's Business!  And, what a blessing it has been to meet more and more of the King's Servants as we visit the King's Courts (His Churches!). 

"I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the Lord."  (Psalm 122:1)
