We are "The Church"

I missed this morning at my home church to help a friend do a second annual memorial service for Ryan Bard. He was a young man who lost his life in a terrible race car accident two years ago here in Abilene. Ryan was a believer and I understand often shared his faith. I never met him but have met his family. They are wonderful people who love the Lord. Jack ask us last year if we would help him with a worship service at the race track where Ryan passed away and we did it again this year. I always feel like I'm missing something when I miss my home church services. As much as I don't like that feeling it was worth it today. After we played I am sitting back watching Jack "preach" in a way only he could to a crowd that probably wouldn't show up at a church building. I have known the scripture "We are the Body of Christ" and" We are the Church ", but there was something about this morning where Jack made it come to life. It was a true blessing to watch and be part of. We really are the Body of Christ wherever we go. Thank you God for a great morning.
Peace and Love

What !!!

What a deal !!!! I went back to work after almost a year off due to hip surgery. My local bosses hired me back as an Assistant Service Manager in charge of running the shop. Its really an awesome deal. A technician who hurts himself and can no longer be a tech usually is just outta luck.So I'm blessed. I've been back for four days and I am sitting in my bosses office and up pops this urgent e-mail regarding me!! I ask him to open it and it says "In regards to Mr. Hargroves re-employment we have not heard from his treating doctor concerning his work restrictions.We are concerned we cannot offer him a job if his restrictions are permanent ".What !!!! My local bosses said I had a job and now corporate sends an e-mail with this !!!Workman's comp has stopped my temporary income benefits because "my employer" said they had a position for me. So now what ?? I don't know and neither do they . I guess I will find out tomorrow. Just another bump in this long and winding year long road, God has a plan , I will keep you posted and let you know what it was !!!
