Terry's Corner

Years ago in the days of Guy Sharp they were called “Weather Men or Weather Girls” on television.  Then their titles were changed to “Meteorologists.”  The other day I heard a local television station declare they were the “Weather Authority.”  That is quite a jump, from just a guy to “the Authority.”  They were not responsible for the amount of rain we have had over the last several months.  They were not in control of the amount of snowfall.  God is the Authority and He is in control!   “[1] O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens. [3] When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained; [8] The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas. [9] O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!” (Psalms 8)

Some might think it early but I am excited already about VBS.  Just a couple of weeks ago we had our annual VBS Directors Clinic.  Pam Grantham is our new WMBA VBS Director and I know she is planning a wonderful Training Clinic for teachers and workers in April.  VBS teachers and workers will want to make this a special part of their calendar.

Please note in the Challenger the upcoming revivals.  Make sure they are on your prayer list.  Support them as you have opportunity.

You all are so important to our association.  Kathy and I get to meet, fellowship with, and worship with so many wonderful people.  We are so proud of how our churches are so faithful in partnering with the WMBA.  We have some wonderful volunteers and I am grateful.

Just recently we had the opportunity to honor our retired pastors, wives and widows. These are most significant soldiers of God and I am so blessed to be with them. 

I am so grateful for the compassion and mission mind set of the WMBA.  Since the devastation in Haiti our people have responded.  One way, is many congregations are involved in the “buckets of hope.”   While the final count is not in at the time of this writing, I know already God is blessing through the churches of the WMBA.

Truly this is the best Association in the whole of the SBC.  Kathy and I are so pleased and honored to serve with you.
