Fond farewell


This Sunday was a big one around here. It started with our morning service where I asked the question our you Comfy yet? Throughout the Bible, especially in a place like Psalm 119 which was the verse for the morning, we see God speaking about comfort. In our age comfort has taken on a meaning it did not use to have. To my grandmother's generation being comfortable meant having what you need to survive, but today we view being comfortable as having what we want when and how we want it. God's comfort, however, is not what we want when and how we want it, but it gives us what we need. In fact it gives us the biggest thing we need, and that is eternal life. As Christians we should be all comfortable despite maybe not having all we want, having a sick loved one, or having a life far short of our dreams, but our supreme comfort is that God gives us eternal life.

Sunday evening we said a fond farewell to our seniors. We had an amazing class of four seniors this year, who have set a terrific example for those following them. They have shown a maturity that often makes me think their adults already, and I'm so excited to see how God uses them as they head to college and the work place. We will continue to pray for them and wish them the absolute best.
