Sermon Notes

I will be preaching my first sermon tomorrow (Sunday, November 22, 2009) in the Marine Corps Air Station Chapel as the Station Protestant Chaplain. My text will be Colossians 3:1-11. My sermon title will be Live Holy, No Matter What. Below are my main points:
I. Seek the Heavenly (vv. 1-4)
A. Set your minds on things above
B. Reasons to seek things above
II. Slay the Earthly (5-9)
A. We must "put to death" the sensual sins
B. We must "put off" the social sins
III. Strengthen our Christ-Likeness (vv. 10-11)
A. For we have put on the new man
B. For the goal is "Christ is all and in all"

Just got back from playing three mean games of racquetball. It has been a few years since I have played and things did not turn out the way I wanted. Hopefully I can get my game dialed in and have more success on the court in the future.

I have much to be grateful for. After a difficult 2008, God has blessed our family with the adventures of active duty Navy Chaplaincy.

Heritage Run & Drill

Great last formation run this morning. We called it the Heritage Run and we ran to a pier where two aircraft carriers are docked. We then stepped out individually and shared our knowledge of the Forestall & Saratoga.
Later this morning we did drill practice getting ready for graduation. All the while our chief petty officers barked at us - a sure sign that we are doing OK and almost ready for graduation on Friday, 9/18.
