This Sunday at Pleasant View, I will be talking about the "good life." When was the last time that you took a deep breath and said, "Ah, this is the life"? What were you doing? Where were you? People have different views of what make a "good life."
Sunday I will be sharing about three choices that will lead to the good life: when given a choice, choose this over that. Come hear more at 11:00 am as we jump into the good life!

Morning Quiet Time
The morning the team's QT devotions were about what we have to leave behind to follow Jesus on his mission. We have to leave "stuff" and fears behind to serve Him.
It has been a beautiful morning withe clouds hanging over the mountains surrounding our bunkhouse.
We look forward to starting construction and landscaping at 9:00 am.

Watermelon and Lemomade
Two great things about summer are watermelon and lemonade. For me the two item represent icking back for a nice relaxing afternoon. I mean real rest. Falling asleep on a picnic blanket while watching the shapes in the clouds slide through the sky. The kind rest where you hear the birds and actually smell the fresh air.
Did you know rest was actually God's idea? And you have to be fully awake in order to really rest. That is right awake to rest. Come hear more Sunday at Pleasant View 11 am.

Great morning session in which the students were challenged to enter three doors of worship. 1st door is the door to the church building. Door 2 is through Jesus into worship in spirit and truth that can happen anywhere anytime. The third door is the door back into the world that Jesus loves.

Caroline asked the cleaning the pool if he had any prayer requests.
Parker loaned his Bible to a young lady during worship that did not have one.
Destin and Daniel Quattlebaum stood up with and encouraged a stranger who was making a decision during worship this morning.

Awesome message this morning from Ephesians 5:1-18. Pastor Louie shared that we were created to be alive, awake, walking in the light. Wake up of sinners from the dead, Christ will shine on you. Today is the day to wake up from the life of ordinary fog of existence. Rise up. Wake up. Live as beloved children of God.

This morning's queit time devotion was from Mark 8:34-38. The students were asked, "What is more important to them, the things of this world or being willing lose you life to this world and gain real life?"
There much that can be gained and accomplished in this life, but nothing compares to living devoted to the gospel of Christ.
