We all were up in time this morning at the Redmond Airport. Ken and Jodi Mays, and Doug and Judy Berum were there to wish us well. We got some photos of the group at the airport and then went through security to wait in the Passenger waiting area. Jerome got stopped for having some sort of metal on his body, but we all eventually made it through in time.
The Bible Passage for today is:
1 Chronicles 29:10-18
David praised the LORD
in the presence of the whole assembly,
saying,
"Praise be to you,
O LORD,
God of our father Israel,
from everlasting to everlasting.
Yours, O LORD, is the greatness and the power
and the glory
and the majesty
and the splendor,
for everything in heaven
and earth is yours.
Yours, O LORD,
is the kingdom;
you are exalted as head over all.
Wealth and honor come from you;
you are the ruler of all things.
In your hands are strength and power
to exalt and give strength to all.
Now, our God, we give you thanks,
and praise your glorious name.
"But who am I,
and who are my people,
that we should be able to give as generously as this?
Everything comes from you,
and we have given you only what comes from your hand.
We are aliens and strangers in your sight,
as were all our forefathers.
Our days on earth are like a shadow,
without hope.
O LORD our God,
as for all this abundance
that we have provided for building you
a temple for your Holy Name,
it comes from your hand, and all of it belongs to you.
I know,
my God,
that you test the heart
and are pleased with integrity.
All these things have I given
willingly and with honest intent.
And now I have seen with joy how willingly your people
who are here have given to you.
O LORD,
God of our fathers Abraham, Isaac and Israel,
keep this desire in the hearts of your people forever,
and keep their hearts loyal to you.

WOW, Lord, You test the Heart and are pleased with integrity. I pray that I would walk in the manner that is pleasing to you, with integrity and holiness.
