What we stand for

Lots of bad news today.

BYU coed's body found. Authorities had hoped that she was a run away.

The bones of the Porter children have evidently been found in Sugar Creek. That means that they were murdered by their own father. Aruggghhhh!

9-11 anniversary. So many shows about the planes, the people and the conspiracy theories. It makes me feel so sad, I don't even want to watch. I don't want to be reminded. Sorry, but that is how I feel. It's too sad.

What we stand for.

Love is stronger than hate.
Mercy rejoices over judgement.
Good is stronger than evil.
Faith can overcome fear.
Weeping lasts for a night, but joy comes in the morning.
All of these are the gifts of God.

These things we choose to remember, and so we enter the week thinking not of circumstances, but of who we are and whose we are.

There is much good to come this week. Lets focus on it.

Children have been baptised.
Visitors enjoyed worship services.
Babies are going to be born this week!

It's a beautiful day in God's world. Be sure to see the good.
