I was thinking this morning in the shower (my favorite place to think), about destiny. Destiny has always been an intriguing topic to me. I am an optimist by nature, so I look at the future with bright hope.
But this morning I was reflecting on having a sense of history. More than knowledge, we need understanding. It plays out in several ways. Think about this, our nation's destiny can't be fully understood without a greater understanding of our nation's history. We can't fully understand the New Testament until we understand the Old Testament of the Bible.
Our history over the last two years is so important at Severn River Church. We have a Discover the River (DTR) class coming up on November 4th. It is a class for people who've come into Severn River Church over the last year and are interested in identifying SRC as "their" church. One of the sessions in the small groups seminar is on "our story". I'm really looking forward to sharing that session because I have such a sense of destiny for our church, but it is hardly understood without a sense of history.

Whatever Dude. All that matters is today. Not yesterday and not tomorrow. Smile. Just Kidding. Good thoughts. I like this and it is so true for our congregation as well.
