Our annual 21 day Daniel Fast begins today.  We have decided to set aside the next three weeks for prayer and fasting.  We are asking everyone who is able, to fast from meat and sweets.

I believe that there is no better way to start of the new year than with a prolonged season of fasting and prayer.  We should take these 21 days to consecrate ourselves to God and allow Him to lead us in the days ahead. 

2010 is an exciting year for Rogers First Assembly as we focus on reBUILDing our church.  We are looking to enhance the various aspects of our church from the building to our ministries.  Will you join me in fasting for this season of our church as we endeavor to do great things for His Kingdom?

It is a new year which means new beginnings.  We had a wonderful Christmas season.  I took a break from writing for a couple weeks.  Our family enjoyed some time together with the holiday as we spent Christmas in Rogers and it was a white Christmas.

We had another snow yesterday that gave us another 3-4 inches of snow.  It is absolutely beautiful.  I walked out of the house early yesterday morning.  There were no tracks in the snow yet and the scene was peaceful and serene.  The beauty of the snow cannot be captured by words.  Even last night, it seemed brighter outside because the ground was so white.

I am reminded of the verse, “Though our sins be as scarlet, He shall make them as white as snow.”  The snow is pure white, just as He makes us when He covers our sins with the Blood of Christ.

I am looking forward to this new year.
