I'm coming back...

     Apparently the Wednesday of the second week is the day my body starts to kick into gear.  I can sense a change in my energy level so I will take advantage of the good days until Monday.  I filled up the wood pile, changed oil in both cars, and am looking forward to the day ahead.  I thank the Lord that my body is recovering what has been lost.


     What has Adam been eating lately?  I am thankful that I am okay with my new choices.  Here is my routine day.


* 1 gallon of water throughout the day
* a glass of prune juice, so thankful when I can drink this cold
* for breakfast either a soy protein shake in soy milk, scrambled eggs with ketchup, or corn meal with flax seed
* for lunch a mixture of beans and onions
* for dinner a shake if I didn't have one in the morning or a piece of chicken breast (boneless and skinless) or some of Stephanie's homemade tomato, roasted pepper, basil soup along with broccoli or cauliflower
* fruit along the way, a piece of toast with peanut butter sometime during the day, a pumpkin mix that Stephanie makes along with sweet potatoes in a variety of forms


This seems to be agreeable with me.  I have stopped drinking coffee with caffeine.  Green tea and herbal tea are now my hot beverage.  I don't put sugar on anything and read labels to stay away from the high fructose corn syrup.  


     Onto 1 Peter.  This first sermon will be a lot about the author.  We will look at the physical facts about Peter and then also on the transformation that takes place from before Jesus and during Jesus and after Jesus.  We will also look at the lessons that Jesus taught Peter that are lessons for us.  Ending with some historical background that will help us understand who he is writing this letter to and why.  I love getting into a new book and so thankful for the church responding by their attention and desire to know the Word of God more.  I look forward to the Lord's Day all the more.

Galatians #15 - Galatians 6:11-18 - "On The Road Again..."

Image
  Another week closer and it involves some more travel for the Wolfgangs.  I feel like the Willy Nelson song, " On the road again... "  I don't know if I agree with the next line though. " ...I can't wait to get on the road again. " One of the members of the church in Wisconsin calculated that I will travel well over 10,000 miles to make this transition.  Traveling mercies prayers please. Last Sunday we will look at Paul's final words to the churches in Galatia.  He brought them the gospel (good news) message of Jesus and what resulted were churches forming throughout the region.  The letter is to defend that message that our salvation comes from and is in Christ alone.  Christ's sacrifice on the cross was sufficient for the forgiveness of our sins.  The summary statement of the letter is found in  Galatians 6:15 (LSB) .  " For neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation. "  Translated another way earlie...

  Berthoud Pass Here we are at the top of Berthoud Pass.  It was a whirlwind week to conduct a " hand off " service in Wisconsin on 3/17 and then preach a Palm Sunday sermon in Colorado on 3/24.  We give God all the glory for this happening.  So there are two video links at the bottom of this blog.  One is for the Wisconsin service and the other is for the Colorado service.  I racked up over 12,000 in the last 7 weeks.   I love to take these pictures sitting from the front row of chairs and listening to the one God has provided for the church I had been serving for 20 months.  I now have 3 and I am so thankful for the opportunity God gave us to serve Him in this type of ministry over the last 5 years.  It has been great to add to our daily prayer list Zach in Maine, Chris in Ohio and now Stephen in Wisconsin. This was our set up for the 2000+ mile trip.  No " hiccups " except for the strong eastern winds in Kansas.  Of course e...

Resurrection Sunday in a new space...Matthew 27.62-28.20

Image
  Resurrection Sunday has come and gone but it was a sweet day to be with the gathered saints of the Stillwater Community Chapel .  We are venturing through the Gospel of Matthew and this Sunday will take us back to Matthew 1.1 but last Sunday we were in Matthew 27.62-28.20.  It was a lot to cover so the white board was truly a help to keep me on track.  This year in my Resurrection Sunday message, I focused on the contrast of the cover-up story of the disciples stealing the body of Jesus fueled by a bride and the commission of speaking of a risen Lord fueled by boldness . After the service upstairs, we ventured downstairs to the lower level and had a great meal together.  The conversations around the tables allowed us to continue to talk about the passage of Scripture we covered upstairs.  Maybe this is a very informal picture of what happens at the  Waushara Community Church called the " Going Deeper " classes of the Come For More hour following t...
