Corban Michael King

Home at Last with Corban Michael King

The past couple of days have been long (I here laughter from all of you who said this would change my life LOL). We are home! Corban Michael King is doing GREAT!!! Tyra is doing GREAT!!! I have posted some pictures on Corban's own website...you can view them at www.kingskidone.com . Check them out and leave a personal message to him if you would like! Thanks for all the prayers and everything everyone has done for us. A special thanks goes out to our CIOC peeps...you guys are the BEST in the WORLD! Thanks again and check out Corban's site.

On our way.

I just finished putting up the curtains in the baby room. It's finished. We are leaving today at 5 to head to the hospital. They will begin inducing Tyra tonight and prayerfully we will have a baby tomorrow. It's all surreal at the moment. Please continue to pray for us and I will post later if the hospital has internet and keep everyone posted. Take care!

Ok Here Goes!!!

Today was our last ultrasound with Dr. Troffater...it was amazing. This is our next week. This weekend we are to take it easy. I have to preach tonight and tomorrow night at Crowe Creek Church of God and then at Covenant Sunday AM. After that we are going to chill out LOL. Monday night we are to be at the hospital at 6pm and they will induce labor then. The little boy should arrive sometime on Tuesday. Please be in prayer for us that everything continues to go GREAT. They told us today that he is weighing 7 lbs. 8 ozs. This can fluctuate a pound either way. Needless to say He's BIG for Tyra. I will be posting on here as soon as I can Tuesday! God Bless.

A New Picture of Tyra and I

Here is a new picture of Tyra and I. Josh Norris took this photo and more that we will post later.

Back up and Running

Hey All,
Sorry for the confusion over the past couple of weeks. It came at a bad time I know since things here at the King household could change at any moment. The reason is I was featured on a daily TV show in Alabama and the website we promoted was PastorScottKing.com....I had to forward that to the Enter In Ministries site for a week so that those who might jump on the web to learn about us could do just that and not simply read my ramblings LOL. Things here are the same. Tyra is ready to have this baby! This Friday we go for our last ultrasound (pray we get some GREAT pictures and I will post them on here) and then next week they will induce (or enduce) labor. This is all pending something doesn't happen naturally. I am in revival this week starting Wednesday night through Saturday night a Crow Creek Church of God in Six Mile. If you are around the area stop on by...it's a youth revival to launch their youth ministry there! Thanks for reading! More updates to follow.

Things are changing!

Hey guys,
I just wanted to let you know of a couple of changes that will be taking place at pastorscottking.com. As I posted a few days ago I was on a morning Christian talk show in Birmingham, AL. Those shows will be airing starting Monday, April 9th and run through the whole week. I promoted PastorScottKing.com as our website. What this means is that if you use the URL www.pastorscottking.com you will be directed to our www.EnterInMinistries.org site. There, very soon, will be a blog button for you to find this blog. Until everything is ironed out you can visit my blog at the old URL www.pastorscottking.blogspot.com . Thanks for your continued reading!

A World of Barely Saved...

I know as soon as many read this, my life will end up under a microscope. Fact is, conviction loves company LOL...When I look around at the church world today it is totally different from the church world 50 years ago. In some ways I am grateful that we have moved beyond 5 songs in the Red Back Hymnal. Yet in other ways there is a trend of what I call, "Barely Saved." This trend carries a tendency to walk a fine line between saved and not. Problem with this is salvation isn't about simply escaping hell it's about living an abundant life on earth. Remember the Lord's Prayer? On Earth as it is in Heaven...I wonder if a lot of things we feel are ok here will be ok there? I wonder if things we care about here we will care about there? Will those things we hold so dearly too here even matter there? Will our feelings and our thoughts be a driving force in our lives on the other side? Will we so enamoured by how cool we can be and still say we are saved? Or will we enter Heaven only to wish we had lived a life more pleasing to God? Then you have to ask yourself...What does really please God? As Tyra and I expect our first son so many have told us about how it will change our life and literally our walk with God. Some have said that we will want him to be as happy as he can be. I believe that to some extent. Many have even said that's how God feels toward us...but then I think...well what if my child is happy playing in the middle of the road? Do I allow that simply because it makes him happy? And, what if he tried to convince me that he really is happiest when he's high or drunk? Do I allow that simply because he's happy? I don't think so...I am his parent. And, with being a parent, I have a duty to sometimes not make him happy if not making him happy is better for him. Sometimes God is more concerned with us living right than being happy. And since we are living in a fallen world, that means that sometimes what makes me happy God will not allow. In fact...Jonah was more happy not going to Ninevah....but that wasn't God's plan for him...Lately I feel that we have forgotten that we are to live a life that is pleasing to God, not self. Then, and only then, will we find true freedom in live on earth. Again, this is not meant as judgement toward you but a reflection of what's going on in my life. The past year has been the roughest year of my life. It's been a year of loss. It's been the hardest place to learn to Love God when He takes things away. But, I have learned that it's not things here that concern me anymore...it's things there. I thought the other day about the last sermon I heard about heaven...and you know what? I can't remember it. Heaven is real and in fear of sounding like my granny...it's closer than you think. I pray that God help me to be concerned about how I am living my life here because how I live it here will determine how I live it there. Holiness is not a cuss word...it's a prize to strive for. Thanks for reading my thoughts.
baby update: We are now over 35 weeks!! I really don't believe Tyra will go 40 weeks...more like 37-38....We are getting excited because the Nursery is FINISHED!!! Praise the Lord...and no we still don't have a name...pray saints!
