Reflections From Sunday Evening

Today we talked about orienting our lives by the North Star. Navigators and mapmakers locate the North Star and are able to determine their location and plot their course. For our purposes we are looking at Jesus, our true north star.

We talked about when the earth "wobbles" the appearance of the North Star will appear nearer or more distant - brighter or dimmer. The same could be said for our relationship with Christ. We all "wobble" from time to time. We may find ourselves at a moment in life where Jesus is bright and near or possibly dim and distant. The good news is that God has come near in Jesus Christ. As we orient our lives to the North Star - Jesus - we will find Him nearer and brighter.

The children had a neat program this evening. There is nothing like the joy expressed in these young lives. Thanks to all who make this possible.

We had a good day at church. I thought the highlight was recognizing Walter Bryant and the article about him in the Kansas City Star today. Check it out at http://www.kansascity.com/2010/12/03/2491261/walter-bryant-he-has-a-musical.html.

It's been a good day. I hope you've had a good day too.
