Hello people...what a wonderful day to be alive! Why? Because HE LIVES!
I had a bit of a problem getting into my blog to write today. I forgot my password.
Well...that is not unusual...I have different passwords for different accounts on the internet and sometimes forget which is which! (ha-ha) Anyway, I am in now. I also was put on a waiting list again when I got here to use a computer. I went into the geneology section and was browsing a book and looking for some "family names" and did not really find anything of substance. Then, right away they called my name to go to the computer stations. So...here I am. It is a hazy day in Union SC today and not at all hot like it has been. But for some reason it is a bit "hot" here in the library. I decided I had better do this before checking my email in case I have to get off in one hour. Hopefully I wont have to. Only one time did that happen...(2 wks ago)...and I didn't get to write on my blog.
We had a great weekend....especially Sunday. Our interim Pastor at Buffalo Baptist preached his last sermon Sunday morning, August 1st. Pastor Gideon Long has been at Buffalo for 17 months and though we are really going to miss him, we are excited about our New Pastor and Family who arrived in town last night. They should be about to begin moving into the church parsonage right now. I understand their moving van was to leave Thomaston, GA early this morning.
So.... ITS A NEW TIME AND A NEW SEASON FOR BUFFALO BAPTIST CHURCH in Union County South Carolina! We have said goodbye to one special man, and are welcoming a whole New Young Family to Buffalo Baptist Church and the community. We have an awesome group of young people at Buffalo...some 30 of them went to Conway, SC a few weeks ago to minister to the people in a certain community there and what Great Things God Did Through Them. What we have is a "JOSHUA GENERATION" I believe at Buffalo. Pastor Gideon preached alot before he left about the time when He would leave and we would have a new Pastor/Leader. He compared it to Moses and Joshua in the Old Testament. Preacher Gideon really prepared us for this "transition" in so many ways.....! That is one reason I am so excited about what is going on in our whole community of Union. What God is doing in Buffalo, I believe he will do all over Union County! And quite possibly this "JOSHUA GENERATION" (that the enemy hates)...will go forth and do the works of Jesus...bringing many into the Kingdom of God in this critical hour we live in now. That is certainly what we need here!
We had the Sheriff of Union County speak at our church some weeks ago and told of the crime, gangs in the youth, drugs etc. etc. And..he said the only real answer to the problem was the Church! And I know that to be so true. I will keep you posted as to what is going on in the "spiritual" community as it unfolds in the days to come. I can hardly wait!
Oh..I must relate this, it just popped in my mind. One of the last sermons Pastor Gideon Long preached at Buffalo was entitled: ON YOUR MARK, GET SET, GET READY...GO!!
Sooooooooooooooooooooo HERE WE GO...............!!
AND A GREAT BIG WELCOME TO PASTOR MICHAEL, MICHELLE, NATHAN, & ANNA-MARIE WINGERTSAHN......WE LOVE YOU ALREADY!
