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,
