first video post from home, this could be very educational...

     Hi all,


     The trip home was long but not unbearable.  We made it to the pharmacy to get my pain medications.  The first night was tough, it seems that way at night.  I think we both are a little overwhelmed by what has been done to get the tumor and cancer out of me.  After a shower and a more restful day let us entertain you...




     The video is 20 minutes long but it lets you know how life has changed for the Wolfgangs.  We are so thankful that we have not walked this alone.  God has always been there but He has also put some special people in our path to walk with us.


God Bless,  Adam & Stephanie

    Praising God that you are home, and that by the sounds of it, cancer free. Go ahead and grieve Adam. It is not only understandable, but necessary. You won't move on until you do, and I know God has good things for you and a plan for the rest of your life.

    You too Stephanie. I know you have had to be strong, but I realize that you share in the changes too, and have probably take on many more tasks that Adam hasn't been able to. I remember when Ken had his heart attack. After we got home, I was doing all my work, and much of what he usually did. I was so exhausted one day, as I was folding clothes, that I just kind of fell back onto the couch beside him and started crying. I quickly got over it, but I know how tired you must be. Take care of yourself too.

    These earthly bodies of ours are so fragile, yet the same function that allows us to feel pain, also allows the pleasure of feeling the softness of a baby's skin, the coolness of water on a hot day, and the loving touch of family.

    Praise God that one day we will throw off these earthy bodies, for heavenly ones that will no longer feel pain or wear out. And I'm really hoping won't have wrinkles or cellulite either LOL!

    Keeping you in my prayers. I will pray for a better night tonight. God bless you Adam and Stephanie.

Connect a bit of Scripture with a bit of life - Spurgeon

     I heard this phrase today along with another that if you connect a bit of Scripture with a bit of life, it will end up effecting all of your life.  This came up in my study of the book of James and specifically the verses dealing with not just being a hearer of the Word but also be a doer of the Word.  It is all about application.  I can't look at preaching the Word without giving steps of applying the Word.  It really is an incomplete sermon if I don't.      Many times I think it has to be big and many points and given cute aliteration that makes it snappy and I think easy to remember and fun to write down.  Reality is, if I would make it a bit of Scripture connected to a bit of life and just that it would probably accomplish much more.  How much time I spend on the opening statement and lame joke and research and introductions and how many points and the closing statement and so little time on connecting the bit of Scripture to the bit of life.      So I guess I ha

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 earlier in  Ga

Sermon prep and maybe a video...

     James 4 has brought up some interesting study.  First, "the quarrels and fights among you."  Those are usually worse than you think even though we try to minimize them.  The source is simpler than you think because it is coming from within you.  The solution is easier than you think because the solution that James gives is that we need to humble ourselves before the Lord.  Any sincere resolution is specific and brief.  Beware of lengthy resolutions that usually include explaining it away or excusing some of the behavior.      As I have seen before, the words are a sign of the heart.  I read this week that if we have a critical heart we usually start by speaking evil of another to ourselves.  Then we progress to speaking evil of another to that person with a running tally in our heads of all their wrongs.  Finally, we speak evil of another to others and broadcast in a way that we are thinking that we are helping.  Giving judgment is always easier than giving mercy.  I
