Inside this issue: I was just thinking…
I was just thinking…I wonder how many people in your life have inspired
you. As I look back, it’s not the ones who do daring feats for the most part that
have moved me forward. No! It’s generally the ones who challenge me by the
way they live their lives.
Take Frances Daniel. Frances never fails to give me a
kind word and express her appreciation for me and my min-
istry. For her love, I want to do better, to do more.
Take Doris Brownfield. Doris has been through some
pretty tough times in the past couple of years. Doris has allowed me to give her
counsel through those trials. For her, I want to make sure that my counsel is
solid and Biblical.
There are not many who prepare like Randy Morris
prepares. He not only teaches on a high level, but he puts his
teaching in ways that even I can understand what he means
and he makes those teachings practical so that I can apply
them to my life. Randy inspires me to be better prepared
and to make sure that you can understand my sermons and
can make use of them in your life.
There’s Judy Taylor. Judy has never failed to help
when there is a gathering at the church. When the church
decided to feed the teachers, the administration, and the
support personnel four years ago, Judy was at the forefront
in organizing it. Now she is not only the one doing most of
the organizing work, she has also taken the burden of get-
ting much of the senior class dinner of honor together.
I cannot begin to tell you of all the people in Ector Baptist Church who
had challenged me and inspired me by their lives. If you see someone this week
or this month who has done this for you,
won’t you take the time to stop and thank
them? Chances are they’ll say something
like this: “I was thinking the same thing
about you.”

Chosen Vessel
The Master was searching for a vessel to use;
On the shelf there were many which one would He choose?
"Take me, cried the gold one I'm shiny and bright,
I'm of great value and I do things just right. My beauty and luster will outshine the rest
And for someone like you, Master, gold would be the best!"
The Master passed on with no word at all;
He looked at a silver urn, narrow and tall; "I'll serve you, dear Master, I'll pour out your wine
And I'll be at your table whenever you dine, My lines are so graceful, my carvings so true, And my silver will always compliment you."
Unheeding the Master passed on to the brass,
It was wide mouthed and shallow, and polished like glass. "Here! Here!" cried the vessel, I know I will do.
Place me on your table for all men to view."
"Look at me", called the goblet of crystal so clear.
"My transparency shows my contents so dear, Though fragile am I, I will serve you with pride,
And I'm sure I'll be happy in your home to abide."
The Master came next to a vessel of wood,
Polished and carved, it solidly stood. "You may use me, dear Master", the wooden bowl said.
"But I'd rather you used me for fruit, not for bread!"
Then the Master looked down and saw a vessel of clay,
Empty and broken it helplessly lay. No hope had the vessel that the master might choose,
To cleanse and make whole, to fill and to use.
Ah! This is the vessel I've been hoping to find,
I will mend and use it and make it all mine. I need not the vessel with pride of itself;
Nor the one who is narrow to sit on the shelf; Nor the one who is big mouthed and shallow and loud;
Nor one who displays his contents so proud;
Nor the one who thinks he can do all things just right; But this plain earthy vessel filled with my power and might
Then gently He lifted the vessel of clay.
Mended and cleansed it and filled it that day.
Spoke to it kindly "There's work you must do. Just pour out to others as I pour into you."
