Spent My Sunday Time Well

This morning I asked myself how I would spend the hours given to me today. I am happy to say that I have had a fulfilling day that started with attending the late service at Central Christian. The message series again was about happiness. It's amazing the wisdom I take away from about every experience I'm in. I find myself taking a journal book to Church along with my Bible so I can take notes about the message and how I can apply it in my life.

Tonight I am reflecting back on the past couple Sunday's where I've started this new practice.

I'm getting ready to register to take the Church's six week orientation program called "Starting Point" in order to become a member. I love Centrals motto "Come As You Are" I'm still getting use to the fact that people literally come as they are in shorts, flip flops, t-shirts and jeans like myself. Even the late service at 11:45 a.m. today was packed with probably 2,000+ people.

Wisdom I gained today is about letting my light shine brightly. Don't hide it or try and dim it. Be a bright light in the world and the darker the darkness is, the brighter the light is. Be a light by my deeds, not by protesting or picketing something but by my actions toward others.

Jud (Sr. Pastor) said Christians can be the most vicious, and say the most horrible things in the name of God. It's about being a bright light to the world. Interesting question he posed last week; "If you were put on trial for being a Christian, would there be enough evidence to convict you?" I personally believe yes, but want a ton more evidence to convict.
