Good Sunday Morning….
It is just a spider. There she goes, minding her own business, looking for a nice insect to eat or working on her web, when some huge mountain of a creature sees her. Some will run away screaming, and the spider must think, why would that huge creature run from me? Some will gently pick her up and place her outside. The spider is frightened but scurries off. Some may even capture her and place her in a container to stare at her. Then some will instantly kill the spider out of fear. All these reactions, and it’s just a spider. The spider is only a catalyst for what is inside us: fear, compassion, or curiosity. Those emotions stem from past experiences or knowledge and set the stage for either reaction or action. Now I don’t like spiders, yet my reaction isn’t the spider’s fault but my own.
I find that true when we unexpectedly run into the challenges of life. The challenge is just a challenge; how we react to it depends on what is inside of us. Some run in fear, some take it head-on, and some play around with it. Our phobias and inclinations, while part of our experience and learning, can help or hurt when a challenge arises. That’s why God tells us to cast all our cares on Him, that He has not given us a spirit of fear, and that He will supply all of our needs. The challenge God places or allows in our path should not just bring out who we are, but should be an opportunity for God to manifest through us by His Spirit, building our faith and establishing our ways. If the challenge isn’t accomplished, it isn’t the challenge’s fault but our own. If we are willing, God will make a way where there seems to be no way. What will your reaction be to the next challenge that comes your way?
2 Timothy 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
Matthew 19:26 But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.

A balloon is affected by what is placed inside it. If you fill it with air, it will sink. If you fill it with helium, it will rise. If it is filled with water, you’d better watch out. Regardless of the balloon’s color or where it was bought, it is affected the same way.
The people you are in contact with each day are affected similarly. They can be your family, your co-workers, your friends, or even a stranger. What you place within them through your words and actions affects them. You can weigh them down or lift them up. Regardless of their color or background, your words and actions, whether kind or unkind, can make or break a person’s day. You can even fill them with vitriol that will enable them to explode all over others. Be careful what you place into other people’s lives. Be one who lifts up and encourages. Help them rise above their troubles and challenges, and you will reap the same.
1 Thessalonians 5:11 Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing.
Ephesians 4:29 Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear.
Romans 14:19 So then let us pursue what makes for peace and for mutual upbuilding.

This Sunday on “Getting To Know You with Host Paul Pitts” will be special guest Comedian Tim Lovelace. We will discuss his new book Green Rain: which is Inspiring Short Stories from the Unique Perspective of a Humorist, the debut title from GRAMMY®-nominated recording artist and bestselling comedian Tim Lovelace, bows July 14 from Pathway Press. A collection of 50 anecdotes brimming with wit and wisdom, the book features a foreword from author and speaker Anne Beiler, founder of Auntie Anne’s Pretzels.
Inspired by Lovelace’s popular Moments that Motivate podcast and nationally syndicated radio series, Green Rain piques instant curiosity with such chapter titles as “Lightsaber Duel of the Century,” “The Tale of the Traveling Tomato,” and “How to Train a Squirrel.” Delivering equal measures of lighthearted amusement and earnest encouragement, Lovelace’s ultimate goal is to bring joy, hope, and perspective— one story at a time.
“The truth is, I’m not here to teach you how to live,” he explains. “Life is already doing that; daily, relentlessly, without asking permission. This book is a collection of life moments. My hope is that you are inspired to embrace the hidden treasures and opportunities that await us every day; moments to encourage others, love deeply, and live fully.”
“I’ve had the privilege of listening to Tim Lovelace perform his comedy act, and the laughter comes straight from my gut,” writes Beiler in the book’s foreword. “Only God knows laughter is as important as good medicine is for the healing of our bodies. The stories in this book will uplift your spirit and provide medicine for your soul. …It feels like a collection of practical ‘how-to’s’ for the ‘ought-to’s’ in our daily lives.”
Green Rain arrives on the heels of Lovelace’s acclaimed January StowTown Records set, On a Different Note. Showcasing his signature piano stylings across a thoughtfully curated selection of American classics and beloved sacred favorites, the instrumental project includes Lovelace’s renditions of “You’ve Got a Friend in Me,” “Let There Be Peace on Earth,” and “This is My Father’s World,” among others, as well as the standout “Celebration of America Medley,” a tapestry of such patriotic stalwarts as “Battle Hymn of the Republic,” “Shenandoah,” “My Country, ‘Tis of Thee,” “America The Beautiful,” and “God Bless America.”
We will also discus his family and not let him Leave till he tells up a comedically story. Tune in Sunday morning to hear all of this from Tim!!!

Good morning and welcome to “Getting To Know You with Host Paul Pitts”. A couple of weeks ago on May 30th we would have been celebrating the birthday of our friend Jeff Stice. Jeff was a great musician and Gospel Music artist that left us back during the Pandemic and we miss his funny character and his music. I went back and pulled up the last interview I did with him at the Roopville Baptist Church in Roopville, Georgia. I hope you enjoy listening to Jeff and his thoughts on his career in Gospel Music.
