Thoughts for the Day:
What was the message of John the Baptist?
Three times, people in the crowd asked John the Baptist what they should do...and sure enough, he told them! What would he tell you to do if you could have asked him the same question?
Do you remember singing "Prepare Ye the Way of the Lord" during the Advent services last December? John's mission in life was to prepare the way for the Lord. In what ways is YOUR mission in life the same or different?
Fasting Update:
Yesterday was a toughie. My Sunday School class decided to eat lunch at the new Western Steer (a.k.a. The Old Quincey's)and they invited Elizabeth and me to join them. In the spirit of "Christian fellowship" I decided to go but I knew I could not partake, lest I break my fast of not eating out during Lent. But much to my chagrin, there suddenly appeared before me a basket of BIG, FAT YEAST ROLLS. Soft, fresh, and dripping with butter. Now, if I was a little more pious, I would have declared in a loud voice, "Man shall not live on bread alone!". But what I was really thinking was, "Man, I gotta get outta here!!!"
Keep encouraging each other with your Lenten fasts. And remember to seek God's help with honoring your commitments.
Prayer Concerns:
Please remember the two families who lost loved ones in the car accident on 181 this weekend.
