Word of the Week
Are you a planner? Do you have a daily planner or calendar that helps you keep up with the activities happening in your life? At the Allen house it is absolutely necessary to keep a calendar these days. Life is downright crazy. We just finished basketball with Cameron, and this week we start baseball practice with Cameron and Easton. Then there are violin lessons, and on and on . . . One thing that I love at our house, however, is that at the end of a hectic day Cameron always reminds us that it is time to read his devotional book and to see what the scripture of the day is. I love it. No matter how busy we get, the challenge is to make sure that Christ has a place in our day. I hope He has a place in yours!
Have a great week, even if it is busy!!!!
Have a great week, even if it is busy!!!!
BEATEN BY A GIRL???
It is NCAA tournament time for basketball again! I love March Madness! The best part of the tournament is the office brackets that are filled out. Each year groups of people make their “picks” and watch the tournament unfold to see just who is going to win. Last year when we picked games there were about 12 people in our group who picked. You will never guess who won . . . Shelly!!! Eleven guys were humbled by a girl!!!
Never knowing who is going to win is what makes the tournament so much fun. You have small schools that you have never heard of, like Butler and Gonzaga, beating schools like Duke, Kansas and Texas. It is fun to see who is going to be the “Cinderella” story each year, but to get beat by a girl? That hurt some egos of guys like me. You just never know who is going to win!
Isn’t it great to know that when it comes to the ultimate battle, we as Christians win! I don’t know about you but I have read the end of the book (The Bible) and we win! In a time of uncertainty around the world find comfort in knowing that God is in control! There is no guessing who will win the ultimate battle like there is in the NCAA tourney, so I say get out and serve the Winner today. Tell others about His victory in your life and invite them to the victory party that awaits us all one day! It is one victory party no one will want to miss! Ask God today who you need to invite to the party. Will you?
After a fast start to 2011, the month of March is going to slow down a little bit for us as a church. The calendar is not filled with activities like January and February, so my hope is we will take some time and really get into God’s Word and spend ample time in prayer for our church family as well as look for opportunities to be the hands of Jesus in Grandview and beyond.
I also want to remind you that by the time you get your next newsletter, Disciple Now ’11 will be upon us. The planning is being done and the signups are underway, so I hope you will take time to ask Les what you can do to help him and then begin to bathe the weekend in prayer. I love D-Now weekend because I believe it adds a spark to the life of the church.
I hope you are living in the Victory of God being in control today and if not turn to Him for the courage to do so!
Ready for Victory,

There are times in the life of the ministry that you will always remember. Some are good, and some are not so good. Today is one of those days that will go down as a good one! We are having an Open House across the street out back for you to be able to see the new Missions Building. Inside you will see the Sew ’n Sews’ new room (They are so proud of it!!), as well as the areas that will be used for ministry for years to come. Another project done that will make a difference for the Kingdom! The Open House will run from 2-4 pm, so stay after church and enjoy a baked potato and participate in the preteen camp fundraiser.
I hope you have a great week!

Tomorrow is Valentine’s Day! The day of LOVE . . . Guys you have been forewarned . . . don’t forget the card, flowers, candy, etc.!!!! This day is not about you!!
That statement made me giggle at first . . . this day is not about you!!!! When it came to the love that Christ demonstrated on Calvary, it was ALL about YOU!!! I am so thankful for the love that Christ has for me and I know you are as well. May we live and love as Christ did this Valentine’s Day!
I hope you have a great week!

Welcome to SUPER SUNDAY!!! Today the world will stop to watch the Pittsburgh Steelers play the Green Bay Packers. There will be a lot of food eaten and a lot of laughs at commercials. The “things” surrounding the Super Bowl often upstage the game itself. They are distractions to the game. In the midst of all the craziness, the players must stay focused!
The world offers many distractions as well for those who choose to stand for Christ. We need to be like the players and stay focused. We must keep our eyes on Christ and seek to live for Him daily!
I hope you have a great week!
