Scrolling through the Kobe posts with a heavy heart and thinking how short life is. Life is fleeting and fragile. Gone in an instant. Let go of hurt feelings. Seek healing. Bury grudges. Tell the people you love that you love them. Tell them now & often. Luke 6:28 #LoveBetter

In church Weston’s class is learning about the Good Samaritan, and so they asked “what do you do if a little girl falls off her bike and is hurt?” Weston speaks up- “I’m not doing anything because she could have a neck injury, and I heard in a book, you shouldn’t move them”. 😂

About 10 years ago, I heard a pastor I really respect say that these school shootings would only increase. In schools guns are outlawed, but sadly is so is prayer. I grieve with the families. I’m not pushing an agenda other than Jesus. We need Jesus. So. Sad.

The greatest encouragement to a preacher is not “great sermon” or “home run”, but rather “here’s what I’m changing because of what God shared through you” or “this is what I learned about God today.”
