Princeton vision

For you fans of Princeton, last Sunday I had an unusual vision of Princeton. I was getting ready for our early service at my church on 9-11, which was a difficult day, as everyone in our area knows someone who died in the Twin Towers (14 people from Marlboro alone died there, and one from our church). My mind was totally on the service, but on way up to our church platform I had a vision of Princeton.

I saw a cloud, which was clearly God's glory, hovering over the Henry courtyard. Later it occurred to me that day was the introductory day for freshmen at Princeton, when they are cheered on through the gates.

I am believing God for great things at Princeton this year!

Snakes

For two nights I have had bad dreams of snakes biting me . The first night they were trying to wrap around my lower body, and the second night one was following me and trying to bite my feet. Both were clearly satanic, and I rebuked them in my sleep.

Such is the spiritual warfare cost of being a pastor.

We've got Jesus!

I love this story! Two nationally ranked high school football teams played each other. One school started taunting the other (all-male Catholic school) with "we've got girls". The other chanted back "we've got Jesus!". This set off a firestorm, with the "girls' school" coach screaming at the chanting fans.

The team that had Jesus won 17-14.

9-11

I am sobered that I was on top of the World Trade Center a few months before 9-11 with guests from France. Only God protects us.

Last week I was checking through some Psalms speaking of God's protection of us. Check out Psalm 9-11 (91:1)- it is most relevant! Is this a coincidence?
