Nine young men received their Eagle Scout Award this afternoon. It always amazes me to witness the dedication of young people, their parents and adults leaders who help them along the road that leads to Scouting's highest award.
This is not lost on me as I think about the spiritual life. We have been looking at what we do "After You Believe" and have realized there is much more to the Christian life than the starting point. There are many people who assist us along the way. There are many lessons to learn. There is much to discover about the nature of God. There is much grace, mercy and love to experience.
We do not award people "merit badges" in the spiritual life - After You Believe. But we celebrate each step of grace as together we move forward in ways that honor God and share the Spirit of Christ day by day, week by week, month by month, year by year - over a lifetime of experiencing the life-changing, life-transforming power of God.
It's been a good day. I hope you've had a good day too.
