After six months of blistering wind, snow, sleet, and ice… Spring couldn’t be more welcomed and anticipated in upstate New York! For us, Easter is the beginning of the thaw process and the start of our official spring break. The kids are out of school! Great family time! And great post Easter rest! All winter long we crave this moment in time ….It’s kind of like breaking through the ticker tape and receiving a psychological medal of honor that you made it through another winter.
Hence, the name “Spring Fever”.
Well, Sunday I was so amped and fired up! Never before in our history have I seen God move like this….so many decisions for Jesus Christ! I wanted to squeeze every ounce out of the moment. The last Sunday service, I could see the finish line. I could feel God give me a boost of energy and adrenaline in my preaching!
And then it was over…I crossed the finish line. High fives, smiles and hugs to the team! They’re the BEST! Now it was time to transition out of spring fever. Heading home… I wasn’t feeling so great. I thought it was just the adrenaline drain. I forwent Easter dinner for bed and I started to feel like I had been shot with an elephant gun.
I slept for 24 hours.
Spring fever had turned up the temperature literally for me to 102. No worries today my fever is gone. However, I still have other complications and I’ll spare you the details. Let’s just say…I’m losing weight.
Hope you’re feeling better SOON!!
Have a great week off with the “FAM”…you need and deserve it!
I hope that you feel better soon. It is too beautiful to be sick!
I hope you feel better.. Thank you for pouring yourself into Northway… I want you to know it is greatly appreciated.. I would not be the person I am today if it were not for Northway Church and the relationship I have with Jesus as a result of it.
Too many Peanut Butter Eggs?
Rest, Rest, Rest.
Thanks For Everything!
Feel better, Buddy! So sorry you’re sick.
Buddy,
I hope you get well soon, it shouldn`t last more then a day or two. I had the same fever from Friday to Sunday. All I can say is that the Berkshire experience was just awesome. I new God was going to pack the Colonial Theater however; I did not quite expect as much participation from the Berkshire people as there was. I mean it was like everyone there had attended Northway before. They even new all the music. Well Buddy, you delivered and acted out one of the most powerful messages yet, like always. Just when I say to my wife that was the best service ever, I am always wrong because they just keep on getting better and better and better.
Feel better! You will be in my thoughts and prayers today!!
Northway Church knocked the SOCKS OFF people this weekend! Thank you all! Now go enjoy the warm weather. Nothing like just taking a stroll (no power walk today) in the sunshine and marvel how God is “springing” all that greenery and flowers back to life! You guys deserve it!
I am so excited about what God is doing in and through the people of Northway! I am sad that my daughter will no longer be coming. Her name is Emily and she is struggling some issues. Please be praying for her…Thank you, Carol G.
I am so sorry you are sick! The bugs come out in Spring- all kinds of them!!! I work in the ER so I can tell you there are ALOT of them right now! I’ll be praying for you to fell better quickly! Thank you for all that you do for God’s work and for Northway! WAY TO GO NORTHWAY! We love you Pastor Buddy and all of the Northway staff!
Dear Buddy,
I’m so glad I went to the Colonial Theater to hear your Easter message. Not only was the theater beautiful, your message was magnificent and the music. Wow !! was the holy spirit present. Buddy I have listened to your messages since 2004. God is blessing you each and every week with such power of delivering the word of the Bible. I thank God for you and NC musicians and staff. (the work to get this service all together was so so much work) I feel so blessed. Feel better! Drink hot tea and honey.
