Mr.Bilson: Connecting

Connecting

There is nothing like authentic connecting with other saints. It is so easy to get stuck in the rut of the routines we go through without exploring the meaning, purpose or who we are doing it for. After awhile you can feel like you are drifting all alone or flying solo but not today. Not tonight. We did some authentic connecting and having a heart to heart for a change.

We were able to bear our soul a bit, show that we ache and are in pain and not as picture perfect as in Sunday morning. There is a crack in the veneer that the make up and Goat Tee couldn't hide. We feel exposed, vulnerable and so conscious that someone might laugh, hurt us or think less of us than what we really are. But not today. Not tonight. We did some authentic connecting and having a heart to heart for a change.

What we didn't know was the we were being deceived. We were having and impact and didn't know it. The one who matters was watching as always and decided to smile down on us today. We had a real chance to know that we are having an impact, made a difference and that it would echo through all eternity. We shared some of the steadfast promises I mentioned to you before. We even admitted that we weren't everything they may think we are. We are imperfect, weak, and sometimes fail. But you know what? It didn't matter. Not today. Not tonight. We did some authentic connecting and having a heart to heart for a change.

God was smiling down on us today. Barnabas came by and decided to offer us some of his personal encouragement. It was timely and necessary and long awaited. It is great to be the object of someones affection for a change rather than feeling the contempt and suspicion the father of lies dishes out. Heaven and Earth will pass away but not His timeless promises. Not His timeless truth. Not today. Not tonight. Not ever!

"Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away." (Matthew 24:34)

"Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever." (Hebrews 13:8)

"But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you." (Matthew 6:3-4)

PMC Christmas Drama!

"One day Jesus was praying in a certain place. When he finished, one of his disciples said to him, "Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples."

2He said to them, "When you pray, say:
" 'Father,
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come.
3Give us each day our daily bread.
4Forgive us our sins,
for we also forgive everyone who sins against us.
And lead us not into temptation.' "

5Then he said to them, "Suppose one of you has a friend, and he goes to him at midnight and says, 'Friend, lend me three loaves of bread, 6because a friend of mine on a journey has come to me, and I have nothing to set before him.'

7"Then the one inside answers, 'Don't bother me. The door is already locked, and my children are with me in bed. I can't get up and give you anything.' 8I tell you, though he will not get up and give him the bread because he is his friend, yet because of the man's boldness he will get up and give him as much as he needs.

9"So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 10For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.

(Luke 11:1-10)

Hello Dear Friends,

We are in the creative process of putting together another drama for PMC's Christmas Event. We decided to outsource this time and taken a little draft of a script from a wonderful saint. It is the first time we are doing it like this. We need allot of prayer. Can you pray for us? Here is our list!

That the message of Christ will bear real, lasting fruit.
Pray against fleshly impulses (outbursts of anger and dissensions are a couple of them...)
Pray against fear and being nervous!
Pray against deception, lies and communication barriers.
Pray for patience and protection in spirit and health of the laborers.
Pray for quality props (We have bigger ideas this time that really need God!)
Pray that process will bring people together.

Thanks for everything!

Mr. Bilson

Mr. Bilson fancies God and His Word, live music, film and humor. Mr. Bilson is a mindless mystery. A consciousness contained in flesh and wrapped in skin. A phenomenon. An enigma. He is created in the image of God. A thrill seeker, wanderer, contemplator. Mr. Bilson loves to travel and expand his mind and seeks to understand and reflect a deeper love for God. He cannot be tamed or controlled. Yet God tempers him with His unconditional love. Mr. Bilson refuses to exist but prefers to live the abundant life promised by Jesus. He is passionate. He can be sensitive and an emotional cess pool. He enjoys being loved by others and enjoys loving others. He is learning, growing, producing, understanding, reading, writing, filming, running, walking, sleeping, sitting, shaving, showing, telling, caring, going, reflecting, coming, getting, giving, gaining, focusing, picturing, visioning and even separating. Come into his world and see existence through different eyes. It will be daring!
