Summer's Almost Here
Wow! It's been a long time since I've posted anything. Subbing has kept me pretty busy. I've doing some editing, too. I'd like to keep up with this blog. It's good for the creative juices. Maybe I'll get that book written that's buried somewhere in my head.
Greater is He that is in me, than he that is in the world
Today after church dismissed, one of the members alerted us to a shooting which had just happened this morning. A man entered the First Baptist Church of Maryville, Illinois, spoke with the pastor then shot and killed him. The full story can be found at a variety of St. Louis news stations. A prayer vigil will be held another church, Metro Community, this evening.
My husband and I think it's important for us as a family to go to the prayer service. So, we explained to our kids during lunch what happened and that we need to go and pray. We mentioned the pastor's family and the church. Our son said, "and the man, too?". Wow! He understood that this man, the one who shot the pastor, needs Jesus too.
Greater is He (our Lord Jesus Christ) that is in me, than he that is in the world. Our kids caught that today. Whatever happens in this world, Jesus is Lord and is powerful and mighty to save.
