Reassuring Presence

Good Morning Loved Ones,

What has God done for you today?

Psalm 139 (The Message)

^1-6 God, investigate my life; get all the facts firsthand.
I'm an open book to you;
even from a distance, you know what I'm thinking.
You know when I leave and when I get back;
I'm never out of your sight.
You know everything I'm going to say
before I start the first sentence.
I look behind me and you're there,
then up ahead and you're there, too—
your reassuring presence, coming and going.
This is too much, too wonderful—
I can't take it all in!

I give thanks for a safe and inspiring trip to the Christian Community Development Association conference in Cincinnati. For great messages, music and workshops . . .

I give thanks for my companions on the road -- Pastor Alfonso, Maria, Greg and Ingrid --- for great work yet to be accomplished in our neighborhood and community.

I give thanks for David who stepped forward to contribute even more to the anniversary lunch bill at the church. David's smile, warmth and generosity of spirit are inspiring.

I give thanks for Sam's fall break. I missed half of it, but I give thanks for every moment I have with him.

I give thanks for Luke's inspiring performance in goal last night. It was the last game of the HS season for him, and he and his team never gave up through very trying circumstances.

Go on ahead --- It's your turn. Gimme cinco, for God's sake!

Pastor Rick
