REFLECTIONS FROM CHURCH

"So humble yourselves before God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you."

The word "resist" implies: "to strive against;" "to work against;" "to oppose aggressively."
In other words, we are to be active in battle AGAINST evil and the devil. We are to be engaged in vigorously opposing and aggressively opposing all the evil desires that will harm our souls.

I found the thoughts of that Scripture to be inspirational for my personal walk with God. One of the character qualities of my pesonality is DETERMINATION. My determination is directed against all that is wrong and evil, hurtful and harmful.

Femmy and I became members of FCC last week and look forward to what God has in mind for us there. I (Charlie) will be team-teaching a Navigator 2:7 class at 9:30am with Russ. I look forward to that. I pray every day, and if you want me to say a prayer for you, just put it in the comment and it will be lifted up to our Lord Jesus Christ.

Trees Please!

Our Trip To Laguna Mountain

We needed an "altitude" adjustment, so we drove to Laguna Mountain (elevation 6000 ft) with our friend Bill to have a picnic, take a hike, relax, and be refreshed and renewed.

Mission Accomplished!


I hope you enjoy the few photos that I took along the way. Charlie

October Already?

Well, here we are 2 weeks later. What's been going on... well, Femmy has been very busy with her 3rd Grade class and FINALLY had a Saturday with no studying, testing, or school worries. We went walking, swimming, out to eat, and then a nice game of Cribbage. It was relaxing. I (Charlie) have been enjoying my counseling work and part-time volunteer work with the 3rd graders as the "Renaissance Math" coach. This is an advanced math program that I am enjoying helping Femmy to do. Somehow after working with homeless men and women for 8 1/2 years (and drug addicts) I am hoping that my focus on the 3rd graders will perhaps keep one or two from getting into drugs, crime, and prison, and a homeless shelter. I plan to do a little pictorial soon of Femmy in the classroom and Charlie in the counselling room. Stay tuned!
