Well, I have to admit that this week has been a crazy one, and I'm on guard because there are so many ups and downs. Have you ever had times like that? "Emotional Rollercoaster" is so cliche' but there is something to it. In the midst of major highs and lows your can get jerked around pretty good.
I have been dealing with families that are hurting in marriage and parenthood, and at the same time seeing really great things happen at SRC including people signing up for membership, people inviting friends to church, and having a great service yesterday including a huge attendance for us of 40 people.
The ups and downs make me hold on tighter. I'm not a throw your arms up and scream person. I'm more the steady look of steely determination; white-knuckle grip on the bar, that's me. In this case the bar is the only immovable, and the immovable in my life is Jesus Christ. Holding onto the bar is following His teachings. That's the value of saying for me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. (but not yet.)
