🚌 Beep Beep!
Happy Thursday to you!!!
In the latest episode of "What do you do, Pastor Len?", I spent yesterday going through documentation for our church bus inspection that took place this morning (7am!). Also, BJ started soccer practice and it was an hour and a half long! Anyway, hence the late newsletter this week.
We have four items this week! (291 words; ~1 minute read time)
1. 😥 GOOD THINGS
Still thinking about the line from this past Sunday, good things become bad things when they become ruling things. I've got plenty of those good things that want to become ruling things. Let's continue to ask God to show us where our idolatry is popping up!
2. 😋 I LOVE SNAX
I know you do too! On Sunday mornings, we have snacks and refreshments in the gym between services. We are forming a committee to organize the snack time and to involve those who would like to bless the church community with their favorite snack items!
👉 If you would like to help provide snacks or be part of the committee, please reply to this email and let me know!
🐼 If you're wondering, I love Chocorooms and Hello Pandas.
3. 📚 BOOK OF THE WEEK
As I mentioned this past Sunday, the book Parenting, 14 Gospel Principles That Can Radically Change Your Family is what I've been recently working through. I believe the Gospel principles outlined have application outside of the parenting domain.
- I've been examining in my relationships (parenting and otherwise) how I take personally what is simply an issue of sin and rebellion. Children do not argue with their parents because they have a personal vendetta but rather it is because their hearts are resistant to authority and they value independence above all.
- 😡 This revelation greatly reduces my anger because I realize it's not about me but a heart orientation.
👍 I highly recommend the book!
4. 🐻 TV
Any of you watch The Bear on Hulu? Drop me a line if you have/are!
Stay cool!
