Fall Break

Happy Fall Break. It has been quiet around the church today, largely because many of our staff our enjoying time with family. I find myself getting a little restless, as we are caught up on things and I am just waiting to have lunch with some students. It makes me think of the verse that says "be still and know I am God." That is a 911 verse for me that I cling to when my world is spinning a little too fast. But today the world is good and all is well so it should be easier to apply that verse. Have you noticed that in your life? We tend to box in some scriptures for various times. How much bigger could my understanding of God be if I wouldn't do that. How sweet the communion could be! Just a thought.

Über???

Everything seems to be Über these days. Not sure what it means. I guess it is German. What is interesting is that I have heard it a ton in the last few weeks. In conversations, on TV and radio. I wonder if the people saying it know what it means. I ask that because I searched Websters and they don't have a record for the word. Which brings me to my point. How often do we act or think in ways that contradict truth, but we don't know it? I mean we believe something, so that makes it true..right? Not really. That makes truth relative and that is not the truth we profess as Christians. Truth lies in God and his word, not in what we want or wish it to be. Paul told Timothy to do his best to present himself to God as one approved, who has no need to be ashamed, who correctly handles the word of truth. Sounds like good advice for us too. I'd say it is Über important.
