As I sit in my office at 5:17 PM on Tuesday, March 11th, my mind is full of a variety of thoughts. I spent a big part of the day in the city, visiting the Diocesan Center with Jim McCullouch and having lunch with Canon Andy Doyle. Jim showed me around a bit and I have to confess that I have not taken the time to explore downtown Houston by myself yet. Of course when he showed me Minute Maid Park (where the Houston Astros play) I thought to myself, "get Cubs tickets as soon as you can!" Being a Cubs fan and playing in the same division as the Astros will get me downtown, you can bet on it!
I was taken with the beauty of the city. Coupled with the beautiful Katy area, I know that God has blessed us all with a wonderful place to live. The weather continues to be beautiful and the number of people within a quick drive allows for us to make a big difference in this corner of the world.
We are just a week away from the most exciting time of the year for the church. Holy Week at COTHA will be extraordinary! Our worship resonates with God's Holy Spirit and I hope you will make a special attempt to be part of our celebration. As I've challenged all of us, make a list of people who don't go to Church and invite them here. God is stirring many, many people to seek Him and all that stands between them and God's love may be an invitation from you.
Speaking of invitations, let me invite you to come to Bible Study. We are continuing to study Paul's letter to the Romans on Tuesday evenings (starting at 7 pm). I know that God is leading all of us into a greater understanding and experience of His love and forgiveness.
There are many Bible Studies and small groups during the week (check the website) but since this is my blog!! let me recommend one other study. This one meets on Saturday mornings and is a Men's study and breakfast. We continue to grow closer to God and to one another and it is always open to more folks.
Enjoy the weather and pray for a tremendous Easter here at COTHA!
