It’s shaping up to be a great weekend. This afternoon Paula and I will be heading down to Crowley. Paula will spend tomorrow shuttling Mary Alice back and forth to play practice. This evening Josh and I will going to the Burleson church of Christ men’s retreat where I’ll presenting three sessions to the men on passing their faith on to their children. Please pray for me and that God will give me ability to help these young men become better dads, husbands and Christians.

In my post on Tuesday I told you about knocking myself silly by walking into a closed glass door while picking up so stuff. Well that stuff can now be found at www.ibtj.net . IBTJ is an acronym for I Belong To Jesus. The IBTJ logo features a cross as the letter T and an attractive font for the other letters that is unique. I have put this logo on tee shirts, sweat shirts, and caps, and I am offering them for sale on line at the www.ibtj.net web site. 

You know I am all about openness so let me tell you up front the IBTJ concept is designed two purposes. First it is a great way to let the world know who you are, and Who’s you are. Making the statement I Belong To Jesus is bold. It tells those you come into contact with that you are a child of God, a follower and brother of Jesus. Second, by purchasing and wearing these eye catching shirts and caps you will be supporting the Grumpy Smith preaching and teaching ministry which will allow me to grow in my service to God as I use the gift He has blessed me with; the gift of helping others by sharing my life with them. Please check out the site http://www.ibtj.net and tell your friends and family about it. While you are there take care of a few folks on your Christmas list. 

Till next time,

Grump
