What's a tree's favorite song in the fall?
     Don't Stop be-leafin'

Do they allow loud laughing in Hawaii?
     or just a low ha ???

Never blame others for the road you're on,
     it's your own asphalt.


Bahahahahahahah.   

I know, the world is messy.  Wars are all around.  Politics has us all in a tizzy.  Arizona recorded more days over 100 degrees than ever before.

So, how can one laugh in times like these?

Because I know, despite us humans, God and God's plan will win.  And that plan is one of grace, salvation, and abundantly wonderful life.

That doesn't discount how hard all these days can be, but it keeps them in perspective for me.  And I hope for you.  

"O death, where is thy sting?" (1 Corinthians 15)

Whatever you face, no matter how hard it is, we know God is in charge.  We know God's plan of grace and salvation will win.  We know there will be scars and battles along the way, but we know.... nothing separates us from the love of God in Christ Jesus (Romans 8).   Let that all sink in.... and laugh ... there's joy in the journey.

 

Peace in our journeys,

Pastor Steve Melde
