Wondering how God can be glorified when it’s all about you?

Is it just me or does it all feel a little broken? It’s been a wild 2+ years on the local, national, and global level. I can’t decide whether it’s my fading youthful optimism or that I’m finally paying attention. Whatever the reason, it doesn’t always feel like the victorious Easter Sunday we’ll soon be celebrating.

National Siblings Day was this week! I thoroughly enjoy all types of celebrations and this one in particular holds a special place in my heart. I did a quick internet search on the history of this holiday and here is what I found:

“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, and always perseveres.” -1 Corinthians 13:4-7

An Accidental News Fast In June and July of last year my wife and I experienced loss and grief, the kind that just rocks you to your core. We each responded in our own way, but for me I did a lot of recoiling from things that had previously occupied my time.

In the highs and lows of a pandemic, we stand as a defeated people at times- confused and at a loss for answers with what will happen next. Everyone has had to adjust in some way, especially in our churches and how we worship.

I think I can help you get fit—at least more fit than you are right now.
