I believe that today was a good day. I had the opportunity to stand for the Lord and proclaim a word to His people and now I am extremely tired. However, I feel that my efforts were not in vain. Do to the fact that it is Resurrection Sunday, I dealt with the text in the area of John 15:9-13 and I used "Jesus: My funny valentine" for a topic. I believe that the Lord was pleased as we had some who reunited with the church during invitation.
Tomorrow marks the beginning of the 62nd Annual Simultaneous Revival in Oklahoma City. It is an affair that always takes place during the week following Easter and it has been hosted by the Baptist Ministerial Alliance since its inception. Churches from all over OKC have individual revival services simultaneously and then we get together for mass afternoon and evening services at rotating locations each day. It is really a time that I look forward to because it gives me a chance to meet with my friends whom I rarely get a chance to see because they come from other parts of the country. Although we do not vary greatly in age, some of my friends are in another sphere compared to me as it relates to preaching. I am really humbled sometimes that some of these guys would even talk to me. There is also a varying age range with these preachers and I think that lends to the excitement. Different people just like different things which is true for this meeting. The variety of preachers is phenomenal. I will be praying in earnest that the overall meeting goes well.
