No title for this one. I was able to preach this past Sunday and I trust everything went well. I had a very strong sense of God's Spirit, and felt very confident as I was preaching and afterward. It was very gratifying since I was nervous all week about it. It has been several weeks since I had an chance to speak, and I felt a little rusty. I'm very grateful for Gods grace and Spirit's enabling. I was in  very good frame of mind all day today, and I think it's because of His Presence, and my own personal satisfaction concerning the opportunity. I have another service set for next Sunday also. I've been there before and although its a small group, the people are very warm and receptive to the Gospel message. It amazes me, at times more than usual, that God moves as He does, especially since my heart has been distracted by so many things lately. I really had to quiet down and focus on the task at hand. As soon as the service was scheduled I felt the constraints of the Spirit around my mind, heart and even outward circumstances.  It was a sobering reminder of the call of God and responsibility of preaching.  Anyway I'm very grateful tonight with a deep sense of peace.
