Well, the family has come and gone and a good time was had by all. Debbie and David spent the night last night on their way back to Cincinnati from Arkansas. We watched the Mizzou game and Die Hard with a Vengeance last night. Good movie--excellent action sequences and one liners from Willis.
Church was good today. I taught the last of the lesson series on the attributes of Jesus for the middle school kids. It was one of those weird teaching times where I felt like I hit all the points I wanted to hit and got all the info out there, but it just didn't seem to resonate. Oh, well; I guess they can't all be home runs.
Remember that it's cool with me if you disagree with me about anything I say--social views, political views, religious views or whatever--if you have an informed opinion. If we can have thoughtful discussions based on differing understandings of facts and information, then there exists the potential for common ground. But if you only want to yell about stuff you aren't willing to learn about, I don't have the energy for it. Our country was founded upon, and its future depends upon, INFORMED disagreement and compromise. Ignorance is the breeding ground for marginalization, persecution, racism, hatred, etc. Do not fall victim to it.
Love God...pray for wisdom...be a life long learner.
Mike
