Bridge City may be named for its bridges – but Prairie View got its
name from a church.
First Baptist Church celebrated 70 years
Sunday but its religious roots
go back to the 1877 one-room school
house that became an outpost for
worshipers on the coastal prairie
that is now Bridge City.

I have four kids and I love to watch them play their sports. On a
recent Friday night, I attended my son’s baseball game. The umpire in
charge seemed to be very prickly. In fact, fans were warned to be on
good behavior because he was known for tossing people out. The game
was going along smoothly and the score was in our favor, then suddenly
it happened.

Today I want to share with you an obituary. Not your normal
run-of-the-mill obituary, but one of a young man who was killed in an
auto crash a few years ago.
“Parker Davis Jackson (Aug. 2,
1990-Nov. 7, 2006) is one of the few
people who pass through this
world and leave a legacy with such power.
On the surface everyone
knew him as a ‘great kid’ but for those who
knew his heart they knew
him as so much more. In our family, Parker was
the spark.

Easter has come and gone once again this year. Jesus has gone to
the
cross, suffered, died, and has been resurrected. But what
happened
after that?
I love the story told in the 21st
chapter of the gospel of John. The
disciples go out fishing and
as the sun rises they see a man on the
beach. The man is Jesus.

I recently read about a man who said he didn’t believe in
Christianity
because he couldn’t understand why a nice guy like Jesus
had to die and
there was no way that one man, even Jesus, could do
such a thing as
take away the sins of other people, much less the
entire world.

A pastor I know is an avid cyclist. He loves riding. He
has the
specialized bicycle and all the equipment to go along with
it. One day
he was out riding when suddenly a wasp flew into
his open mouth. In
horror, he was stung numerous times inside
his mouth and before he
realized it, he swallowed the bug.
Suddenly he imagined how it would
all end. The wasp would sting
his esophagus and it would swell and he
would die. He felt
helpless!
