Welcome to REV'D

As I sat patiently watching a train pass I noticed that the majority of the cars had been “tagged” with graffiti. I began wondering why we humans feel so strongly that we must leave our mark on this world. What I came up with is it is because we need to let people know we were here.

Walking through a grave yard I noticed the dates on a tombstone; 1927-1990. For many the mark we leave is the dash between two dates.

Maybe that is what this blog is about . . . leaving my mark somehow.

A Servant's Heart

Matthew 7:16 CEV

" Jesus said, "You can tell what they are by what they do"

How can you know if you have the heart of a servant?

The other day looked out my office window and saw one of our deacons mowing the church yard. With him was a teenage boy picking up trash and moving things out of the way of the mower. I have watched these two do many acts of service, never calling attention to themselves, just working quietly for the Lord.

I had to chuckle because I remember serving as a deacon years ago and mowing the church yard. Singing and worshiping God as I rode the lawnmower, I never dreamed someday I would be a pastor. Now I am not speaking prophetically over these guys but I know God has a definite call on their lives. They may not be pastors someday but they will always be servants . . . it is in their heart and so it manifests in their actions.
