That's the title of the new sermon series - I don't mean we are finally starting to live out grace at Horizons or preach grace; but rather - we are beginning a new sermon series called grace period. See - it's that simple and yet it is pretty complex - maybe it's a paradox (that is for Jay)- you see he is working on a sermon series called paradox. Anyway, I digress - or maybe I'm just being <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">verbose. just kidding :) </span><br /><span class="blsp-spelling-corrected"></span><br /><span class="blsp-spelling-corrected">On a serious note - I appreciate your prayers for this series.</span><br /><span class="blsp-spelling-corrected"></span><br /><span class="blsp-spelling-corrected">NEWS FLASH - Horizons just had its largest attendance ever this past Sunday - over 550 people atteneded our two worship services this past Easter Sunday - we had many people who made commitements to the Lord and the worship/special ministry team hit a home run ministering to us. Our support ministries are simply amazing - great job to everyone.</span><br /><span class="blsp-spelling-corrected"></span><br /><span class="blsp-spelling-corrected">Updates</span><br /><span class="blsp-spelling-corrected"></span><br /><span class="blsp-spelling-corrected">Mortgage Business - can u say wild financial swings - the mortgage market continues it topsy turvy cycles</span><br /><span class="blsp-spelling-corrected"></span><br /><span class="blsp-spelling-corrected">Family -kids are doing great - we got a new scale - the old one kept fluctuating too much - here is an insider note - I weigh myself 3 times a day - once in the morning - once when I get home from work and once at night- talk about needing therapy.
