Good news is that I get to help with brunch on Oct. 8th! By the way, Robert and Bet Delcuze of Bay St. Louis, MS said to tell you hello and that they miss you! They are good friends we met during a 2 year stay in Mississippi. We attended Main Street United Methodist Church in Bay St. Louis and met them there.

His mercies are new every morning! Thank you for sharing, Bishop

EVERY morning there is something. Today a beautiful moon still up as the sun rose both big and bright. God’s blessings every day. Thanks for the message.

This is my deepest prayer–that I remember God is seeking me even as I am seeking him.(See Hound of Heaven poem)

Peace this day.

I think it is amazing that you have ask the question about God’s longing for me. I have just finished Francis Chan’s Forgotten God. He kept asking if I was truly following the leading of the Holy Spirit or if I was wanting him to follow me. It has caused me to do some serious thinking about my priorities and my relationship with my Savior.

In answer to your question…when I have and opportunity to remind some one that God always walks with us through the good and bad times. God weeps with us and rejoices with too…I remember God’s longing for me. When I see Go d wooing someone into a relationship with him and that person responds… I remember God’s longing for me. When I witness a Church responding to be more than they already are… I remember God’s longing for me.

Thanks for your words tonight and you have given me an opening to my series on God’s amazing grace steering Sunday.

Peace, Steve Webb
