stuff, bad and good

So, it is not always easy trying to deal with everything that happens at church.  Last week our big bus was driving on 50 highway with 30 kids on board when the motor caught on fire.  The driver pulled over, the children were saved.  The bus is probably totalled. 

Over the last few weeks we have had several plants stolen from the church.  can you imagine?  someone digs up plants at church and moves them to their garden.  How do you enjoy such plants?  Oh, so pretty, and where did I get that plant?  I stole it......from a church.

Someone was sleeping in one of our paper recycling dumpsters this past week.  We are not sure of the connection, but the shuttle bus was also vandalized.

Gosh, lots of interesting, painful things this past week at church.

Ok, there were also some good things this past week.

The bridge on the walking trail is finished to the point of being officially opened.  Go walk the east trail and you can now cross the marsh with no problem.

We baptized four people Sunday night who wanted to profess their faith and follow Jesus in baptism.

I met a man last night who wants to go on a medical mission trip.  Our message is getting thru to our congregation.  We all need to find our opportunities to live outside of ourselves.

Hard things, but plenty of good things too.  Really good things. 

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