Pastor's weight loss journey and donations

You may remember that back in April I pledged to lose weight throughout the Summer till September 1. Some of you pledged so much per pound toward one of three charities: either Leadachild, Pregnancy Options Center of Warren County, or Warren County Literacy Inc. 

 

 

As you may remember, my goal was 100lbs.  Well…. I didn't make my goal.  I lost 38lbs.   I'm a little bit disappointed in myself to say the least, as I expected a whole lot more, but circumstances and my own weak mind and body, kept me from my total goal.  

 

The good news is that I'm not quitting.  I am continuing my weight loss journey and I plan on hitting it hard from now till the end of the year (and beyond).  My goal is still 100lbs. total by the end of the year. 

 

So here's the deal:

  1. You can donate whatever you pledged right now and be done with it. 
  2. You can wait till Reformation Day (Halloween for you non Lutherans) when I plan to be down at least 70lbs. total. (16lbs lost in Sept and 16 lost in Oct.)
  3. You can wait till the end of the year and donate then, when I plan to be at my goal weight of 100lbs lost. 

 

  1. You can donate at all three times or whenever you feel like it. 

 

Some of you have already sent in your donation.  That's not a problem.   I appreciate your donation! 

 

I also appreciate your prayers and your encouragement!!  Keep them coming!

DEVOTION:   Ezekiel 33:7-9  English Standard Version (ESV)

"So you, son of man, I have made a watchman for the house of Israel. Whenever you hear a word from my mouth, you shall give them warning from me. If I say to the wicked, O wicked one, you shall surely die, and you do not speak to warn the wicked to turn from his way, that wicked person shall die in his iniquity, but his blood I will require at your hand. But if you warn the wicked to turn from his way, and he does not turn from his way, that person shall die in his iniquity, but you will have delivered your soul.

 

Whoa, that's some serious stuff.  Does God really mean that it is Ezekiel's fault if he doesn't preach the warning God has called him to preach and those who were supposed to hear it die in their iniquity? Answer: YES! 

        This is the burden not just of a preacher (pastor), but of all those who know the truth and have been given opportunity to care for a brother or sister who is hurting themselves in their sin, or who is in danger of losing faith all together, and does nothing about it.  It is truly a burden of love for the neighbor that our Holy Spirit gives to us by faith. 

        A lot of times we keep ourselves from speaking the truth in love, because we don't want to hurt someone's feelings or lose a friend all together.  We want to keep that friendship so we keep from warning a person that what they are doing is harmful to their soul. 

        The question we should then ask ourselves is do we want to lose that friend forever in hell?  So then we should always speak the truth, but speak it always in LOVE!  If you had a growth on your back that you couldn't see or feel, that was cancerous, would you want someone to point it out to you even though you'd be embarrassed, or would you want the person to spare you the embarrassment and then die from cancer? 

 

Let us pray: Lord, thank you for sending people into our lives to speak the truth when I need to hear it.  Make me a person who loves someone enough to speak the truth to them and save their life.  Amen.
