GAUSE NEWS

I called the school to see if they had any news and was told they didn’t have any. Everything must be running on schedule. Can you believe it will soon be time for Thanksgiving and then Christmas—then a New Year. Wow! Do you think the young children already have their Christmas wish list ready?

Vegetarian (or not) lunch or dinner

I ran across this recipe the other day and it sounds so good. This would be a good weeknight meal or something different to take to a covered dish dinner. The person who I got the recipe from said to make sure to use the hot sausage, not the regular. It just has better flavor.

Practice what you preach

I find myself in too many meetings (it’s what pastors do). Thomas Sowell said, “People who enjoy meetings should not be in charge of anything.” I’m not in that category. I don’t want to meet, I want to do (James 1:22). I wonder if we have too much Bible studying and not enough Bible doing?

Someone to lift the burdens of our lives

A wonderful, oncefriend of mine, the late Rev. Dr. Ralph Glenn, once spoke at a minister’s luncheon on the topic of “baggage”: that bundle of guilt and remorse that burdens our lives when we do not confess, and permit the mercy of God to lift it from our shoulders.
