Greetings Lifers,
From my favorite booth at my second favorite local Mexican restaurant, I greet you - warm salutations to you in this already beyond warm summer. Pray you are all well. I am on the brink of another day off from work (my Saturday is really Friday - I work most weekends). it's a busy month coming up for the Saunders clan - Eleanor and I head to Africa (Village of Hope, Pastor's Training Conference and a wedding of a friend over the course of 12 days) as our 2 youngest head to their Aunt and Uncle's in Illinois and our oldest spends 2 weeks in Costa Rica. 5 family members, 3 continents, oh my. Be praying for us please as we travel.
This weekend at Bay Life we are uncorking an all too familiar theme - the fact that good things often give way to bad/hard to handle things. "Life was going along fine, and then all of a sudden..."and everybody can fill in their own blank. Why does this stuff happen? What is God doing in the midst of our disappointments? How does God want us to walkthrough the hard things we face? Come and hear the story of the church at Ephesus as they worked through (or rather, God worked on their behalf through) the incredibly difficult circumstances surrounding their formation some 2,000 years ago. We can all be encouraged by we have to learn from them.
Alright then - signing off and shipping out - see you this weekend!
Mark
