Sister’s Birthday Party

We did a Bar-B-Q for my sister Charity’s 30th birthday party Saturday. It turned out great. We did chicken leg quarters, Boston butts, beef brisket, sweet potatoes, baked beans, some onions and a pineapple. My brother did some great jerk chicken for the first time on our smoker I didn’t get any because it was gone too quickly but it smelled awesome! I really enjoyed cooking and hanging out with my family this weekend. My sister Cayla took some pics and is supposed to send them to me, when she does I’ll post them.

Have you ever considered that Christians serve a God Whose old testament worship revolved around a daily Bar-B-Q?

 

Is what I do who I am?

I guess I noticed the title of my last entry, “what I do”. It dawned on me that what I do is not who I am, and if what I do becomes who I am then I am in trouble. What I am really talking about is identity. The way I see it, it is very important for me as a christian from where I derive my identity. For me the place that I derive my ultimate identity is Who I belong to. I / we as believers have to occasionally (sometimes daily) remind ourselves that we are citizens of heaven and sons of God. Jesus is my adopted brother and I am a joint heir with Him. So you see “what I do has” nothing to do with “what or who I am.” I am doing industrial work but in God’s eyes I am a minister of the Gospel and an ambassador of the Kingdom….. and if you are His, so are you.

 

This is what I do
