Our fellowship witnessed an example of love for family last Sunday morning at our worship service. One of our church members was celebrating her first birthday after the recent loss of her husband. I am sure there will be many more first in her life, however, to have a large majority of her family come and attend worship service prior to enjoying a day of making more memories was an example others should follow. The love and support this family exemplify for their matriarch is something that continues to define what being a part of the family of God is all about. All throughout Jesus’ ministry from an early age Jesus challenges his followers to remember the priorities of love for their life. First, love the Lord thy God. Second, love others despite their faults. Lastly, love yourself by placing your dependence upon the Lord’s guidance for each day of life you are blessed with. It doesn’t matter which church you attend, remember that the church isn’t a building, but it consists of people who what to share the love of God through Jesus Christ our Lord. It is so important that you align yourself with a body of believers who show Christian love in all their undertakings. One of the greatest teachings of Jesus is found in Matthew 25:35-40 (NIV).

If you grew up in the early 2000s, you would likely recall the late night programing block known as Adult Swim on the Cartoon Network channel. Adult Swim would usually air around 10 pm (central time). A lot of my favorite shows aired on this block such as “Aqua Teen Hunger Force”, “Sealab 2021”, “Harvey Birdman”, Attorney at Law”, and “Perfect Hair Forever”. But none of those shows would’ve existed without their predecessor: “Space Ghost Coast to Coast”.

Capitol Conversations

I advanced several bills to the governor’s desk this week, a first for me so far this legislative session. The Legislature is quickly approaching the homestretch of this session as both legislative bodies are spending two weeks on the floor voting on bills from the opposite chamber. That means Gov. Kevin Stitt’s desk is quickly filling up with bills he can sign, veto or allow to become law absent his signature.

Tales from the Trails

Body
Have you ever felt completely alone or abandoned? What resource did you turn to alleviate the aching hollowness? Hebrews 13:5,6: God said, “NEVER will I leave you, NEVER will I forsake you. So we say with confidence, “ The Lord is my Helper, I will not be afraid.” Recently, we took one of our horses to the veterinary to have his teeth floated for which my great granddaughter, Adalyn, accompanied me.
