Last week was another great week at BBT.  We finished up our study on discipleship and we have made a commitment to not just be a fan of Christ but a disciple, at least I hope we have.  Thank you Linda for bringing the lessons the last 2 weeks.  We had a good group in church and as we head into the end of the year I expect we will have a great closing.  2011 has been a good year with some disappointments and some blessings as well.  My prayer for 2012 is that we will see God move in this place and we will be better at being his people and understanding what he wants for us and from us.  I hope you will commit to being the disciple that we need to be and make good choices.

This week Joel and his group will be in church and he will bring the praise and worship on Sunday.  I am always amazed at their commitment to us over the last few years and it is always one of my favorite Sundays when they are here.  I hope you will be in church on Sunday.

My wife and I will be celebrating our 30-year anniversary on Saturday and we have planned to spend this weekend visiting with her parents in Tyler.  We hate to miss church on Sunday but this is a great chance for us to get away for a few days and to visit her parents.  I am looking forward to see them again.  Keep our family in your prayers and we will be praying for you as well.  If you get the chance call someone this week that maybe was not in church and tell him or her how we missed them.  When I call sometimes people are saying I am calling because that is my job but when they hear from you it may mean more.  Keep doing good things for people and keep being the disciple Jesus wants us to be.  I will see you on the 30Th and I want to hear about what God did in church on Sunday.  We love you and thank God for you every day.
