So Sad today....

Keep praying for Julie and me and our family as we say our final goodbye to Julie's dad, Wallace Kent. Today is his funeral over in Frankfort. We have this GREAT HOPE IN CHRIST. Yet, we will miss Wallace in so many ways. Thanks for the support, the prayers and for stopping by at the visitation last night.

A Tribute from Evelyn Day Fuson to Her Grandfather, Wallace Kent

A Tribute from Evelyn Day Fuson to Her Grandfather, Wallace Kent
http://efuson.blogspot.com/?m=1

Evelyn Day Fuson is the first grandchild of Wallace Kent and I'm forwarding a
link to a post she penned about her grandfather.  He passed away peacefully
after a brief illness yesterday at Central Baptist Hospital in Lexington.

He was affectionately known as 'Frankfort's Pastor' and I teasingly called him
THE BISHOP!  He was truly a Man of God and a fabulous Pastor, husband,
grandfather, dad, and father-in-law.  He embodied the marks of a true Child of
God.  

He lived love well and that love has been reflected back by those he touched.

I live a more inspired life because of his influence on me and the great gift of
Julie, his first child.  I'm grateful to have married into his wonderful family.

Funeral Arrangements:

from 2 to 8 PM

Saturday October 20 Visitation will be from 11 am to 1 pm at Buck Run Baptist
Church in East Frankfort

Funeral will be at Buck Run Baptist Church at 1 PM on Saturday October 20

What's Your Plan for Dealing With the Rising Cost of Nearly Everthing?

Check out this headline from USA Today about the rising cost of water....

Seems like the price of nearly everything is going up wouldn't you agree?

Wise people plan ahead. I'm studying a fantastic new book, Great by Choice, written by Jim Collins that suggests that truly successful people over-plan for potential 'bad luck.' Reminds me of Joseph preparing Egypt for a drought in the Old Testament. Having a 'Plan B' is just common sense these days. If you need to build one let's talk.

Day One ENGAGE Success

To all my PHOS COMMUNITY friends. Hope you have decided to take the ENGAGE Journey with us. Great start yesterday but there's plenty of time to get in the game. I had a great time this morning ENGAGE-ing day one of the S.O.A.P. [Scripture, Observation, Application, and Prayer] Guidebook and my Bible. This is an excerpt from my prayer this morning, "Lord, help me to go even when I don't know all that I'd like to know."

ENJOY your time in Gods Word and strengthening your friendships around PCC. Jeff Fuson

I Think God Hates Me!!! A note to my friends who are going through tough times ….

"I think that God hates me."  

That's was the gist of my conversation with my good friend who just lost her job, had kids making really bad choices, was enduring financial stress and more.  Her marriage was tanking and the stress was high.  And, she was giving up on God -- because she thought that God has given up on her.  He was silent and non-active in response to her prayers.  There was no magical check in the mailbox to save the house and no magic spell to cast upon her out-of-control kids and no love potion could return her marriage to it's former glory.  She was stuck and felt alone and forgotten and she would forget God back.  

If you've ever felt this way or maybe even feel that way today then you're not alone.  It happened in the Bible to Job, Jesus and John the Baptist.  And, if you live on the third rock from the sun long enough it's probably gonna happen to you, too.  

So, what's up with this 'God' who can be AWOL when we need Him the most?  

Our answer to that question....the 'theology' that we come up with in the Emergency Room will drive our relationship with God forward or drive it into the ground.  If we get our theology twisted up and headed the wrong direction then we will do life without God as much as possible to show Him who's really in charge of me.  If we get our 'theology' right then we can weather the tough times AND draw strength from God AND move forward into a joy-filled walk with God in the midst of real life and that walk with God will bring us great joy amidst real life.  And, that's what we need most of all isn't it? 

Check out this article, not because it's an easy read, but because it's good theology and when you get your theology right then you will enjoy God and life even when times are tough.

Please let me know what you think about what you read here:  http://www.directionjournal.org/article/?910

BTW, you really need to be in worship with us this Sunday September 16th because I'll be diving deep into these ideas and giving you hope for the days ahead.  Check out PhosChurch.com for directions to 4200 Centerfield Drive in Crestwood, Kentucky.  Worship is at 9:30 and 11 AM and is casual dress.

Roadside BBQ Hero! Way to go Chops!

Just met 'Chops' at Exit 14 across from Starbucks in Crestwood. I admire his courage and work ethic to drag his BBQ Grill and roadside sign out in 90 degree heat and see who may wanna have BBQ for lunch! I did a U-turn on 329 and headed back mostly because I love the Free Enterprise System and I wanted to support this guy!
One of the greatest things about America is that we all have the right to start a business of our own. We still have the freedom to enterprise! I move it 'Chops' has that kind of spirit. He's not sitting back waiting for a subsidyHandout or job -- he is making something happen. He's not expecting that someone else has to take the risk to start a company so that he can have a job. The freedom to start a business is a great freedom that we still have and he saved Me from another drive through window!
So, stop and see 'Chops' and tell him I sent you because I believe that more of us should exercise the freedom to create lives that are inspired and free
and that honor the gifts, talents, abilities and dreams that God has placed in us.

If you don't like your job or don't have a job but want to work how 'bout starting your own business of some sort?
Yes it may be risky and it might not work. BUT, it might!!
Just tired of seeing so many high caliber people feel so stuck and dead ended in jobs where they are underemployed or underpaid or both. Or to see friends go for months with no income because they simply lack the courage to attempt something that they've alleys dreamed of.
If you're stuck I'd be willing to coach you through, but you will have to supply the guts to be like 'Chops'! I have a few great book recommendations that will help. Just give me a shout.
By the way lunch was great! Wasn't cheaper than McDonalds-- as a matter of fact it cost more BUT it was much better! Cheaper isn't always better... Sorry Wal-Mart!

The Names of the Lord

3 Week Bible Study led by Len Jaggers

Join us for a look at the Names of God.  Learn more about the God of the Universe and yourself in this 3-week study.  Have you ever wondered why there is so much emphasis on the Name of the LORD in the Bible?  We end our prayers with it - "In Jesus' Name".  One of the 10 Commandments is to not take the name of the LORD in vain.  References to the Name of the LORD are throughout scripture so we need to look at it closely to find out what significance it holds and if it means anything to us today.

 To learn more or to Reserve Your Spot please contact Len Jaggers    ljaggers@johnsonpm.com / Mobile - (502)930-5014

For those who 'CARE' Well …. Phos Community Church is forming a New Care Team Training that May interest you….

"The Bible is full of examples of how God's people face crisis after crisis.  These biblical personalities and families were not hopeless in the face of catastrophe-instead, their faith in God buoyed them, giving them hope for the future and strength to cope in the present."  -John Lepper

There is an exciting new opportunity for those of you who have a desire for helping yourself and others during a time of crisis.   On Sunday, October 14, in the PCC Cafe from 12:30-2 , come join us for lunch, then John Lepper will be facilitating an introductory awareness  session called "Helping Yourselves and Others When Crisis Comes Home".

John's book "When Crisis Comes Home" will be available to participants for $10 each.(PCC will cover the other $5 for the cost of the $15 book)  We will do an overview of what if looks like to be a Good Helper when someone we love faces a crisis.  

After this session, if you want to go further, John will be leading 2 Wednesday night sessions at PCC on  November 7 and November 14, from 6:30 to 8:30 PM 

During these sessions, John will further equip you to help others who are going through difficult times. 
When these sessions are completed , we are going to develop a  team of individuals who want to begin a PCC Care Team to minister to people in our church who are experiencing a crisis, going to have surgery, and other various situations. This team will be led by Theresa Stewart.     So come join in on the ground level of the training and development of this new opportunity to serve others.    

To Learn more or to RSVP please contact Theresa Stewart  at treas4kids@aol.com or at 502-930-3245
