Headlines are full of fascinating and helpful information.
Ben Affleck's new girlfriend, Shia LaBeouf arrested, Germany's Prince Ernst married, and Ashton Kutcher got himself in hot water over a tweet...
Seriously.
We can, with a quick click, read about floating yoga, Netflix, and Melania's wardrobe.
This.is.news?
If we dig a little deeper we can even read about a bear that mauled a shepherd in Romania.
Mmmm...yeah...not impressed.
As for me, I'm involved in something more important that some Hollywood misstep or even balancing myself on a floating mat--which is really good, because I'm not into yoga or water-stuff.
Days filled with people and prayers, rockets and glow-in-the-dark stars. Attention given to allergy alerts and friendships, background checks and glue sticks.
Having a plan in place to buy new shoes for a child who wears a pair two sizes too big and being sure the volunteers are ready to fix food to fill hungry bellies.
Reminding my friends that for one full week, for every child who walks through our doors, we are the hands and feet of Jesus.
Those of you who know me well, know I am full-swing into the final days of preparation for Vacation Bible School.
This blog is asking you to click the X in the top right of your screen...after you finish reading, of course!
Put your phone down and say a focused prayer for the most important week of the year. The week set aside for sharing the great news of the Gospel of Jesus Christ with boys and girls.
Whoever you are, wherever you are, Jesus is not just for kids. Jesus lived and died and lives again in order to provide a way for us to have a relationship with Him.
God is real.
He is good.
He is faithful.
You can trust Him.
I do hope Shia straightens up and I wish Prince Ernst well and I mean no disrespect to any of them when I say I didn't read past the headlines...
But...
seriously...
if you'll excuse me...
I feel a worthwhile tweet coming on...
