The Best Week and The Worst Week

This week was one of the best weeks of ministry I have had this year. Instead of having Jr. High youth on Thursday night we had Team Extreme here. They are a team of Christian Athletes who rip phone books, break bricks, blow up hot water bottles and bend steel rods in their teeth. More importantly their purpose is to share the message of Jesus. We had 597 people here and 124 people accepted Jesus. What an amazing night!!! Here are a few pics:









This week was one of the worst weeks, I prepared to preach for our three weekend services. Saturday night service went good. I came home and Patti had cook an amazing meal, Steak, hash brown casserole, corn, rolls. In the middle of the meal I started to choke on a piece of steak, I could still breath but I couldn't get anything down my throat. I drank water trying to get this steak down but I started to vomit, after an hour of vomiting and the steak still stuck in my throat I went to the emergency room. They tried a number of treatments and finally admitted me into the hospital. Pastor Dave ended up preaching for me on Sunday morning. Finally at 7 in the morning a specialist was called in, he put me under (an amazing feeling) and he stretched my esophagus, the piece of steak released and that was that. Apparently the first thing I did when I woke up was ask for a Monster Drink. Patti tells me I told her she had two mouths and that was my worst nightmare.

Well my esophagus is very sore today, but I start a weeks vacation tomorrow so all is good.
