"Dream Big in 2010"

Outside the window of my office I have a great view of our playground that is used almost daily by dozens of energetic children. I recently observed several of the children playing "army" with some plastic buckets and shovels. I watched for awhile admiring the creativity and energy of these kids. The thought occurred to me how we seem to lose our creativity and ability to dream as we get older. It sparked in part the following message and challenge for 2010!

Jeremiah 32:27

"Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh; is there anything too difficult for Me?"

Jeremiah 33:3

"Call to Me and I will answer you,and I will tell you great and mighty things which you do not know"

Ephesians 3:20

"Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think according to the power that works within us"
