Greetings Family!
It was great seeing everyone a few weeks ago. So great, that I was fortunate enough to relive some of the experiences with Uncle Gary when I was in Kansas City last week. I truly hope all is well, and wanted to share the link below with everyone. About a month ago, I found a church in St. Louis that I've come to enjoy a good bit. It's non-denominational, and while I would rather hear "Ave Maria", "O Come All Ye Faithful" and even "Go Tell It On The Mountain" by St. Joes' Choir instead of some wanna-be American Idol contestants, I have thoroughly enjoyed the message the church has been preaching. Just last night at church, I was thinking to myself, "Man, I really like what this church has to say, but I'm frustrated with myself for abandoning those teachings the very next day." As bad as it sounds, I just let life get in the way, and I don't hold myself accountable. Well, wouldn't you know it that one of the services this church provides is sending you Text Messages and/or email with verses from The Good Book throughout the week. That wasn't their main message yesterday, and I got a lot more out of it than what I just described. The pastor's main message last night was that while it's good to hone in on the idea of serving God and being a good Christian, it also important not to "blur the peripherals" and toappreciate what God has already given you. In other words, make sure you take time to stop and smell the roses. While I only attended one devotional during my time at Camp Happy Family, I did take the time to sit back and take it all in, and be gracious for all that our Good Lord has blessed us with (right now, I'm blessed with the ability to form an extremely long run-on sentence). So, if you think receiving texts/emails with bible verses may be of interest to you, please sign up for it. Also, if you have any interest in listening to any of the messages, you can sign up for their podcast at http://www.wcrossing.org/podcasts/.
