My God is awesome and huge…
In the words of M.C. Hammer, “You can’t touch this…”
When I look at these…I look small…and I realize I am small compared to my God!
Images were taken by the Hubble Telescope and I got them via MSNBC online.

I personally want to hear from you. We may start a topic, but the point of a blog is to provoke conversation and idea sharing. READ ENTIRE ARTICLE
ReThink Money Workshop
Casey Graham spoke at TCAG Sunday about God’s purpose for our money. I loved the verse he used from the Message:
1 Timothy 6:17-19 Tell those rich in this world’s wealth to quit being so full of themselves and so obsessed with money, which is here today and gone tomorrow. Tell them to go after God, who piles on all the riches we could ever manage—to do good, to be rich in helping others, to be extravagantly generous. If they do that, they’ll build a treasury that will last, gaining life that is truly life.
His bottom line thought was: “God wants us to do well (financially) so we can do good.”
His main ideas: God gives us riches (money) so we can…
- Do Good
- Help Others
- Be Extravagantly Generous
The message was an introduction to our new series, “Bling” which will include a financial workshop on Saturday, November 8 from 8:15 a.m. until 12:30 p.m. If you live in the Augusta, Martinez, Evans, or North Augusta area, I highly recommend you attend this workshop.

Francis Chan the Romantic
Francis Chan has set the bar extremely high for all of us men who dream of being the ‘Romeo’ to our wives… (He demonstrates this beginning at 1:16)

I admit, hearing Francis Chan sing “Still the One” made me tear up just a little.
