Notes From Pastor Anthony’s Desk;
Most of you know that this summer I have taken up the sport
of Golf. Yes, your one-armed Pastor has been hitting the proverbial links and
it has turned a few heads. For years I have watched all my friends and the
majority of my colleagues enjoy this game, and I just sat on the sidelines
saying that I could never play with my disability. When I decided to throw my
hat in the ring, I was told that if I could ever get to the point to where I
could shoot a 100 I would be doing pretty good. This past Friday I went to the
Golf Course and played 18 holes. After
my 18 holes I began to add up my score and realized that in only my 5th
time on a golf course I shot a 106. Now that is not good but it’s not bad
either for a new kid at the game.
I said all that to say this, I can do all things through
Christ that strengthens me. All I have to do is put my mind to it. The way that
I relate this to ministry is that there are many people that have been
satisfied with just sitting on the sidelines allowing everyone else gobble up
all of God’s blessings that are offered through ministry all because they think
they can’t do what everybody else is doing. My friend you are short changing
yourself. With the help and the grace of
God you can do what God has called you to do and what you set your mind to.
I pray that you don’t make the same mistake I have made for
years and sit back and watch everyone else have fun and get involved in the
action. There is a place for you in ministry here at Stanton First Church of
God and we have a great deal of people sitting on the sidelines. Come join the
fun and grab some clubs and get into the action.
In my prayers,
Pastor Anthony
