Watching “Up” this weekend with my kids 4/8, and the scenes about death came on.  Afterwards it was the questions from my 4yo:

Where is the girl?

What happens when we die?

What happens to or bodies?

What is heaven like?

Are their toys in heaven?

Do we have bed times in heaven? 

 

Me trying to put death into a system where a 4 year old could understand it is hard. But what I tried to explain is if we believe in Jesus, and ask him to be in our hearts we are superheros.  What I mean by that is if we believe in Jesus, we never die we live forever with Him in heaven.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Growing up playing sports, I was a pretty good athlete. Having not exercised a lot since college, I still thought F3 would be pretty easy.  Was I wrong.  F3 definitely keeps you humble but God wants us to be humble.  In humility we are reminded to value others above ourselves.

Philippians 2: 3-8
MOLESKIN:
This being my VQ, it kept me humble because it can be a challenge to lead the workout and do the actual workout. Overall though, it was a good experience.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Reflection on 9/11….where we were on that day & how it felt.   That day made me ask myself the question of what is really important in my life – and for a while I focused on that.  But like so many others I’ve lost that focus.   Today’s challenge is to re-center your priorities on your faith and your family.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
This week a friend of mine from high school hit rock bottom. He was truly broken in all sense of the word. He is suffering from drug addiction and he is being treated at a facility as we speak. It is when we are broken that we can truly see the overwhelming love of God. We ignore or forget his gift when things are going our way and we “have no need” for God. But when your broken and then made new, you can truly appreciate Gods gift to us. Example of a light stick, breaking and then glowing.
MOLESKIN:

it was hot wearing a suit
