I am sitting here with Titus, my youngest, and we decided we would write our post together today. He starts out by saying he wants everyone to know that he is excited that his brother and sister are going to be getting out of school today for the summer. He is excited because they are excited too and they get to spend more time with the family.
Ty is also pretty excited about going on vacation because we get to go to Estes Park and Colorado Springs and we get to have lots of fun. We are going to go swimming, eat at Chik-Fil-A, play Bingo, go hiking and play with our new Rubix cube.
He says that is pretty much all he has to say.
I have a friend who coaches me professionaly who has been working with me to take some time off lately. He has been encouraging me to take a vacation and to schedule one day a month to get away to just fill back up. Because of his encouragement I decided to take this week off and spend it with my family. It has been really nice so far. I have worked field day Monday and Tuesday at the school. I got to go to LIFE Group last night which is always a tremendous blessing to me. Today, we are going to our kid's awards assembly and then get ready for our trip. It is nice to not have responsibility every once in a while.
In my prayer time recently God has slowly been revealing a thought to me that I am trying to understand enough to share in the message. It is based on the idea that the problem with many of our churches and our faith in general has to do with the fact that we do not share in a common suffering. Many of us have come to Christ trying to make it as easy as possible when coming to Christ should require a wholesale change of worldview and mindset. We should all have gone through a common suffering as our lives were changed. Check out Philppians 3. I will be working on these thoughts for a message a week from Sunday. Here's praying it all falls into place.
Have a great week and enjoy those around you. Love, Mike.
