Had a good day at church. Hope folks are getting some ideas about developing and maintaining a sustainable pace in life - especially the Christian life.
Here is a brief recap. To maintain a sustainable pace "divert daily" - take time each day to pray, play and rest. Today we talked about "withdraw weekly" - withdraw to rest, renew and be replenished. (Thanks to Rick Warren for his devotion that provides the idea.)
Next week we "abandon annually."
On another note -- the children's arts program was this afternoon. A real joy to share in that time with such an excited group of children. Those kids sure sing out! A special shoutout to Nicole Brant. Good job putting things together.
On yet another note - I've been checking weather reports from Joplin, Mo., this afternoon. A very severe tornado struck the town. Having lived there for eight years we have become aware of many familiar places destroyed or badly damaged by the storm. Join me in keeping the people and community of Joplin in your prayers.
A reminder that we have much to be thankful for. In that light - it's been a good day. I hope you've had a good day too.
