Bold prayer

I found myself asking God during the closing prayer in our service to turn the difficult situations in our people's lives to impossible ones so that they would be required to act in faith rather than still trying to work on the things that only God can solve. I wonder, is that to far or is that just the type of prayer Jesus would be asking for His disciples? Should we ask God to move things to that point? How much time do we waste trying to solve what only God can settle? The man inside of me screams,"I can do it" while the child of faith wants to let it go. In Hebrews 4 it tells us that if we are to labor we need to "labor to enter into rest." I don't think I have the answer but I have to believe that God is willing to solve more than we let Him. Next time I want to go solve it, I might just ask God to make it so I can't and see what happens.

Pet peeves

I don't have a lot of pet peeves. This week I had the pleasure to experience a two of them. One of my favorites is when you go through a drive thru window and the person living in that small box forgets to push the button when they talk to you. "lp .... uo." is short for " may I help you" and "do you want fries with that" sounds like "I think your fat." Either they need to get out of that box more often or they should learn to press the button a little sooner.
Another pet peeve is when the the five or six main movie channels show the same movies over and over again. How many times can you watch Die hard 2 and Men in Black. It seems to me with about a million movies created that they would not have to replay the same six movies over and over.

There is another Chris Lockhart in our Church

I got to a chance to see real creativity and commitment this week in our Sunday service.
Ryan Monson pulled out all the stops when he took the top ten list of things I am likely to say every Sunday and put together a monologue that had the entire congregation in stitches. He dressed the part, spoke the part and even went so far as to shave his head to look the part. My hat is tipped to you Ryan for your great creativity and delivery. It will be a long time before I forget how hard I laughed that morning. Some have said that you looked just like me. That could be really scary for your future. Thanks for all your effort.
