Snow, District Band, Opportunites
"For to the snow He says, 'Fall on the earth,' And to the downpour and the rain, 'Be strong.'"
-Job 37:6

I'm currently playing a song in District Honor Band called Abram's Pursuit.
It's written by David Holsinger, who is also our director for district band this year. He used to be affiliated with some music programs at a denominational group somewhere, and drew the inspiration for this piece from Genesis 14:14-16
"When Abram heard that his relative had been taken captive, he led out his trained men, born in his house, three hundred and eighteen, and went in pursuit as far as Dan. He divided his forces against them by night, he and his servants, and defeated them, and pursued them as far as Hobah, which is north of Damascus. He brought back all the goods, and also brought back his relative Lot with his possessions, and also the women, and the people.

We've had some wonderful opportunities recently at the North Charlottesville church of Christ:
-- A few weeks ago, my family had a Christian man named Ty stay with us for about a week. He is a lawyer, and a special conference/lawyer-training-type-thing was what brought him to our neck of the woods.
-- Interestingly enough, another lawyer, Mike Jones, has been with us from California. He is enlisted in the military as a lawyer, and he was required to come here to VA to the "JAG School" (I'm not entirely sure what that entails, but apparently it has to do with being an army lawyer). He is actually a preacher back in his home state of California, and he gave a great presentation last Sunday about tried-and-tested methods of reaching complete strangers with the Gospel. Hopefully the powerpoint and audio of his presentation will be posted on the congregation's website soon.

-- There may be a family of 5 visiting us (and possibly joining) in the near future. They're also considering one of the liberal congregations in town. Please keep them in your prayers.

Psalm 63:3
Because Your lovingkindness is better than life, My lips will praise You.
Think about it.
Real hard.
