this was a great day!
it was awesome to show up for sunday morning after a great week of bon voyage. i was excited to see some of the new faces we met during the week.
there were definitely some tired bodies dragging in. every effort of bon voyage had a huge payoff…for every kid that participated…for every family that was touched…for every worker who served.
i was really pumped to preach from this text. all week long, it seemed like the words of james were resonating with me.
the final statement in james 2:13 cemented a truth that i have been coming to believe more and more as i have grown older: mercy triumphs over judgment. what an amazing line!
i know that there needs to be balance between grace and truth, but when it comes to our relationship with people…friends, neighbors, enemies, family…mercy (and grace and love and acceptance and understanding) always wins out over judgment. always.
breathe deep. what an awesome song! i think we did it justice. it was the perfect song for this passage.
as usual, the band rocked again. faithful. every week.
babies.
today would have been a good donut day. too bad.
lunch at cabana with new and old friends…always a good time.
family swim night was a huuuuge success! nobody could get a count, but we’re all sure there were over 150 there…maybe 200.
it was so cool to meet new people, see kids of all ages, and watch our people extend grace and open arms.
i could do family swim night every sunday night! (not really…)
gonna get up early and see our youth group off to “know sweat” in missouri tomorrow morning. pray for them.
so what’s the best thing you can do for your dad this next sunday?
