ENOUGH! - 11-5-2010

ENOUGH! I know that I heard my Mom say that more than once to me. Enough Already! It usually was some behavior I was doing that was getting out of hand. Maybe it was one too many questions about something. Maybe it was time to turn off the TV and I needed to go to bed. Maybe it was pestering one of my sisters and it needed to stop before it got out of control.

When we say, "Enough!," it means that we have all that we need or we have too much of something. Change needs to happen after we say, "Enough"!

I will be starting a new sermon series this Sunday called "Enough: Discovering Joy Through Simplicity and Generosity." It will help us to focus on both our need to say "Enough" to a society that tells us more is better and to believe when God says that there is "Enough" when we become generous.

Our Finance Chairperson, Tony Ciampaglio, noticed that the Upper Room devotional for Wednesday fits nicely into the theme of our new series! You can read that devotional at

I encourage you to sign up for the free daily Upper Room email at the bottom of that page.

Of course, I have had "enough" of typing with one hand this week! Only four more weeks until I hope I can get my cast off!

In Jesus,
Barry
