Miss Rose at the Pulpit

My blogs might get a little preach-y from time to time. I hope you can deal. And if you can't, just say something like, "I'm rubber and you're glue...whatever you say bounces off me and sticks to you!" or something as equally mature.

Because if what I write bounces off of you and sticks to me...then great. I need it.

Hebrews Chapter 10:
23Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. 24And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. 25Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.

Two things I want:
1. To really hang on unswervingly to the hope I profess...and the faith I believe...and my trust in the Lord. Unswervingly, people. Do you ever swerve? I do. Often, it starts like this: "I know I'm supposed to ___, but..." or "Well..." Sound familiar?
2. To spur on others toward love and good deeds. This might be through my funny stories or sharing a thought. Oh yeah...and Go Spurs Go! Therefore, I want to spur.

One thing I realize:
1. You people that read this are in the habit of meeting me and encouraging me. Whether it's a phonecall just to say hey, or a long email that lifts me up, or a hug that shares your love.

Thanks, friends.

Go...and swerve no more.
