COT:
Imagine yourself as a living house. God comes in to rebuild that house. At first, perhaps, you can understand what He is doing. He is getting the drains right and stopping the leaks in the roof and so on; you knew that those jobs needed doing and so you are not surprised. But presently He starts knocking the house about in a way that hurts abominably and does not seem to make any sense. What on earth is He up to? The explanation is that He is building quite a different house from the one you thought of – throwing out a new wing here, putting on an extra floor there, running up towers, making courtyards. You thought you were being made into a decent little cottage: but He is building a palace. He intends to come and live in it Himself.

Word

Pray for Nashville’s shooting victims. This morning at a small group I’m a part of one of the older guys said that you were going to see a lot of blame start to happen because of this weather it is gun control or stuff about the shooter, being transgender or the lack of security, and all this stuff. But really what it is, is that we live in a fallen world and its sin.

Do we need better precautions and things in place to protect our kids and be more responsible as citizens of this earth? Absolutely but we need Jesus even more.

Check out these powerful lyrics, from the song “Never Let Go” by Seventh Day Slumber. I was listening to this on the way to the workout tonight and these lyrics hit really hard:

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of deathYour perfect love is casting out fearAnd even when I’m caught in the middle of the storms of this lifeI won’t turn backI know You are near

And I will fear no evilFor my God is with meAnd if my God is with meWhom then shall I fear?Whom then shall I fear?

Oh no, You never let goThrough the calm and through the stormOh no, You never let goIn every high and every lowOh no, You never let goLord, You never let go of me

And I can see a light that is coming for the heart that holds onA glorious light beyond all compareAnd there will be an end to these troublesBut until that day comesWe’ll live to know You here on the earth

Listen to “Never Let Go” on Spotify

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Dec 13 is the 4^th anniversary of my son Grady’s death (F3 Quickrete). I have had the discussion about the grieving process with the F3 brothers during the past anniversaries of his death and his birthday. We all have lost loved ones – that is a part of life. Let’s remember the legacies our loved ones have left us, the good times we had with them and remember the impact they have had on our lives. Last night, on the evening news, they were talking about the Lockerbie Scotland bombing 34 years ago. There was a group of US students on that flight returning home for Christmas. One of the student’s parents commented that his daughter had written in her notebook (recovered from the wreckage in Lockerbie) that “no-one dies unless they are forgotten.” (BTW- Grady was born in Oct 1988.) So, lets take a few minutes and think about the loved ones that we have lost while I play Amazing Grace played by bagpipes (Grady liked bagpipe music so I think he would like this song).
