The Bethel Rebel: Life according to Johnny Ginsberg

My day started out OK, I guess.  However, due to a couple of circumstances, It turned into a day which kinda sucked. The main reason it sucked is that I found out that the townhouse listing stuff may have to be heard in open court.  The hearing for now is set to June 25.  I [...]

I feel like either Spiderman or like the boy that had the “sixth sense”  (I see dead people.) Sometimes I can tell what’s going to happen.  For example, I kinda sensed my Dad was going to call and schedule a dinner.  I was thinking I might give him a call and find out, when he [...]

For those of you who serve, have served, and have sacrificed for your country, Thank you.  May you all be blessed for doing your part to begin and maintain democracy, national security, and protect the freedoms we as Americans hold so dear.  Praise God for all who step on the battle lines and fight to [...]

Pastor Jason did the message this time on Colossians.  Paul was writing to the Colossians that God could be trusted, and that Jesus was and is God, He is the firstborn of creation, and a couple of other bullet points.  I want to trust God no matter what, because He’s the one who created me, [...]

Major congratulations to Emie and Nathan on their marriage and new life together.  May God bless you both richly and abundantly.   This wedding was superb–Just the right mix of comedy and ceremoniuousness.  The reception was great too.  Peace out.

Lord, I submit all that I am, and all that I have to you. I can’t really ask anything in return for such, Father, but I want to ask You:  What do You want for me?  How do You want me to spend my life and invest the talents You have so freely and lovingly [...]

Tonight’s Infuse was about the theme “Band of Brothers.”  Josh Kesler spoke about how men can not do life alone, but have to have other men in their lives to succeed with their lives.  It was great, plus there was an interview that Scott S. did with an Air Force Staff Sergeant about his faith [...]

Calling all men:  There will be a summer Infuse session tonight at the Eagle Brook Church White Bear Lake campus.  If you go to the www.eaglebrookchurch.com website, you’ll get some more information about it. As far as it is right now, I am volunteering there tonight.  Yes!  An opportunity to serve.  And I am more [...]

I talked to Tim and Dan today.  I’ve been told it could be up to a week before anything happens with the townhouse going on the market.  At least Tim will write up the paperwork, so we’ll be ready to go once the court hurdle is cleared. I’m frustrated that I don’t know what’s up [...]

Because of Christ’s redemption, I am a new creation of infinite worth.  I am deeply loved, I am completely forgiven, I am fully pleasing, I am completely accepted by God, I am absolutely complete in Christ. This affirmation is done courtesy of Robert S. McGee, Search for Significance.  I am glad this affirmation is here.  [...]
