This blog is dedicated to sharing ideas: mine, others and everything in between. I lost my job. So a couple of months ago our company got bought out. We have all heard it before “this is a good thing”, “this will give us more resources”. Well, that worked out for some people, and others, not so much. I am in the not so much group. Over the last year and 3 months… Read More I lost my job. November 18, 2013. November 13, 2013. November 13, 2013. October 16, 2013. The new Samaritans Purse Christmas 2013 cat...

I beat myself up today – I am @joshuapotter

https://changingperception.wordpress.com/2014/08/11/i-beat-myself-up-today

This blog is dedicated to sharing ideas: mine, others and everything in between. I beat myself up today. Ok, let’s cut to the chase. I went off on an unnecessary rant yesterday while I was preaching. The topic(s) are not really important. What is important is the fact that while I may agree with what I said and believe what I said, it doesn’t necessarily mean it needed to be said. I hope you understand what I am saying. Share on Facebook (Opens in new window). Click to email (Opens in new window). You ar...

I lost my job – I am @joshuapotter

https://changingperception.wordpress.com/2013/11/18/i-lost-my-job

This blog is dedicated to sharing ideas: mine, others and everything in between. I lost my job. So a couple of months ago our company got bought out. We have all heard it before “this is a good thing”, “this will give us more resources”. Well, that worked out for some people, and others, not so much. I am in the not so much group. I have loved this job. Outside of full time pastoring, I cannot imagine a better job than this. I looked forward to work everyday. So where does this leave us? November 18, 2013.

https://changingperception.wordpress.com/2013/12/19/make-the-switch

This blog is dedicated to sharing ideas: mine, others and everything in between. One of the great features of our new church website. Is the online giving tool. Online giving is not really new, but it is new for a lot of people, so let me explain why I am choosing to give online. 8211; I never have to worry if I forgot to give to missions last month, or give my tithe check. It is automatically set up. God calls us to be good stewards and this feature allows me easy accountability. 8211; Once you click on...

Can prayer be an excuse? – I am @joshuapotter

https://changingperception.wordpress.com/2013/11/21/can-prayer-be-an-excuse

This blog is dedicated to sharing ideas: mine, others and everything in between. Can prayer be an excuse? 8220;I will pray for you”. I know this sounds ungrateful, What if God is really calling us to do more than pray for people? I know the first objection will be “is prayer not powerful enough”? That is not at all what I am saying, but think with me for a minute to the times you have uttered those words “I will pray for you”. Are we praying “God how can I help this person”? November 21, 2013. Address ne...

Grateful for Changes – I am @joshuapotter

https://changingperception.wordpress.com/2014/07/26/grateful-for-changes

This blog is dedicated to sharing ideas: mine, others and everything in between. On 6/16/14 our son Lucas was born. Our two girls Alora and Alliana have done such a great job loving on him and helping mama take care of him. I am looking forward to seeing how God shapes his life. It will definitely be different having a little boy around the house. I am looking forward to seeing all the kids grow together. This doesn’t mean that everything in life is going great all the time. Trust me the last 3...You are...

The Power of Gratitude – I am @joshuapotter

https://changingperception.wordpress.com/2013/12/03/the-power-of-gratitude

This blog is dedicated to sharing ideas: mine, others and everything in between. The Power of Gratitude. Sunday I spoke on the “Power of Gratitude”. Here are a few points:. Don’t be distracted by the things you don’t have. Be thankful for God and to God (verbalize). Be thankful for the people God has put into your life and to the people God has put in your life (verbalize). That is happening right now is happening according to God’s plan….rest in that. Be thankful. Think on godly things (Philippians 4:8).
