Somebody Call 9-1-1

-


Not too often you hear that during a service. Man, yesterday was like a whirl wind. Bible school alittle low. The song service went well. I was praying. Kind of nervous about preaching. Got up - preached and as concluding and doing the invitation and a elderly lady collapses. All I hear is someone call 911. Several people exit and take the woman out. (Fortunately we had both a doctor and a nurse sitting nearby).

So what to do? (I got thinking back when a church member had done this in my home church almost 17yrs old and had a heart attack and died) So I went on - and said let's pray ...offered the invitation, we had communion (and someone asked me about being baptized - where did that come from). And so several thought we were almost done the service - and mentioned about a baptism ... found out the older lady was ok. (They took her to the hospital as precaution and she was joking with the EMT people that no she wasn't pregnant).

All and all a good day. After the Baptism - we got to dismiss. So how did your Sunday go?

I hate David Crowder. Okay,maybe hate is such a strong word, maybe its dislike.

Don't be like David. (Or even like Mike for that matter). What God is doing through DCB is great. But be who you are, and God created you to be. Isn’t worship a daily thing? Isn’t worship about a lifestyle of living and breathing? I’m seeing more Church Worship teams, both youth and adult, trying to impersonate David Crowder. Please … there are only so many songs that can be sung like David Crowder. Sometimes it saddens me to see Lead Worshippers in churches trying to sing, act, and even look like Crowder. Follow Jesus, not David Crowder. I think that's the way David would liked it. Pointing all things to God's Glory that we may Love God through all of our actions both in songs and in deeds/ We d

My Search for the Black Rock Hotel.

I'm fascinated by History. From my office I am at the foothills of South Mountain and can view Black Rock. (I want to take a picture the opposite way from there to my office - how cool would that be?) In talking to some church members, they gave me some history. One is a man whose father, built a log cabin from the lumber of South Mountain. He generously gave me these two pictures to scan. (I haven't found any others online and just some scarce history about the ole Black Rock Hotel) "Black Rock is located just over the crest of the Mountain, over looking Washington County and Hagerstown to the west. About 20 years after Reason’s return visit to Wolfsville the Black Rock Road was built across the mountain toward Hagerstown, passing to the northside of Black Rock. This was in 1876 while Wolfsville’sDaniel Biser was a County Commissioner.About four years later Jacob Drill Wolfe built a hotel at Black Rock Spring. Both this hotel andthe second “Black Rock House” built a
