We have just celebrated one of my favorite holidays of Valentine’s Day. Can I just tell you how fortunate I am to have the world’s greatest wife? We’ve been married 24 years and she is absolutely the apple of my eye and the love of my life. One of the things I’m trying to do every day is to become a better student of Karen and learn how to better meet her needs. I’m sure this will take me the rest of my life, but it will be fun growing old and learning how to love the one person God has given me to nurture and cherish all the days of her life. As I think about Valentine’s Day and watch television and movies, one of the things that hurts my heart is how many relationships are failing miserably, how many people are giving their hearts to other people without thinking of the consequences of who it hurts.
As I think about this I am reminded of a great passage of Scripture in Genesis 39. Continue reading »

What was your favorite commercial in last night’s Super Bowl? Can you believe that advertisers spend over 3 million for 30 seconds of advertisement? I know you’re better at math that I am, but isn’t that $100,000 per second? It’s incredible to invest that much to try and capture the attention of the American public and persuade them to buy whatever you are selling. Doritos, Volkswage– it’s all part of the Super Bowl experience. My favorite part of last night’s Super Bowl was at the end of the game, when the Packers had won, and they asked one of the players, “How does it feel?” With a big smile, he said “To God be the glory.” I’m thankful that, on one of the most festive days of the year, when men and women gather with all their friends and a spread of chips and dips, that God still gets the glory.

This last weekend I had a Super Bowl moment, but it wasn’t on Sunday. It was actually Friday and Saturday at a “D-Now” in Dothan , AL. There I got to share the Word of God, talking to kids about prayer, overcoming temptation, and how they are salt and light as a result of knowing Christ their Savior. It was during this D-Now that we saw kids turn their hearts to Jesus, willing to break the ranks mediocrity, of sitting as a spectator, instead becoming a full participant for the calling of Jesus Christ. Several got up and said, “I want to live for Jesus.” To me, this is what I call a Super Bowl experience. It’s getting people involved and engaged in something greater than themselves.

Here’s an excerpt from keithchancey.com. A follow-up to “A Mexican Feast”. Enjoy!

So, a couple days ago I gave you the rundown from our awesome vacation time in Cabo. Here’s the rest of the story. What happened next was, I guess you could say, still awesome, but in a totally different way. Here you go…

Upon returning home, I noticed that my foot was hurting a little bit. Remember that proverb, “all the days of the afflicted are bad, but a cheerful heart has a continual feast”? Bad is a perception. It’s a matter of perspective. I had stepped on a sea urchin, was bitten and poisoned. This problem led to a trip to the doctor. As the pain spread from my ankle to my calf to my thigh to my hip and on to my sciatic nerve, it quickly became a trip to the ER. After several tests, the doctors informed me that the sea urchin’s poison had caused me to have shingles. I didn’t know what shingles was, but I knew it wasn’t good. I was infected and hurting. I couldn’t move around the house and I could hardly stomach my antibiotics.

Here’s a post from keithchancey.com. Enjoy the news of his Christmas travels!

Dear friends,

It is so exciting for me to be back with you and tell you of the adventures of the Chancey family during the holidays. May I just say that GOD IS GOOD!! And it truly is all good. I was reading this morning Proverbs 15:15, which says “all the days of the afflicted (me) are bad, but a cheerful heart (me) has a continual feast”. I love this verse. I know I’m afflicted, but God has blessed me with a cheerful heart. I feel beyond all comprehension that my glass, my pitcher, my whatever has been made full. I have had a feast of a vacation. I have celebrated the birth of our Savior with my family and it was awesome.

Welcome 2011!! We can’t believe you’re already here!

I guess no matter how hard we try, we can never stop the progression of time. How many of you mothers have desired the ability to pause life in the cute stage? Or fast forward through the obnoxious ones? No, we cannot control the passing of time, but we can direct how we use it. In my life, I have learned the hard way that without vision, I will not achieve my top goals and will not give proper attention to my top priorities.

As you start this new year, I encourage each one of you to sit down and write a vision statement for your life. Take some time for yourself and pray about what God wants MOST from you. Hear His priorities, and then set yours accordingly. Don’t let life run you, YOU run life.

God has given me the ability to dream, and I’ve been blessed to start many things. God keeps me dreaming, and sustains my faith and energy in carrying those dreams out. And He can do that for you too! What do you want to accomplish in 2011 through your family, your ministry, and your work? What is something only God could pull off?

This could be the most life changing year you ever have!!! You can do it! Can’t wait to hear!

Your friend,
Keith Chancey
