SIMPLE STUFF

We finished up our Sunday Night Youth Gatherings last night. Some of our awesome moms made sure we went out fat and sassy with burgers, dogs, ice cream and home-made cakes. Thanks ladies. We were waiting for a program the Israel Report to start so we played a little kickball out back on the pavement. No one tried to slide and that was good. It doesn't take to many supplies to play kickball. A ball is really all that is needed. You can make bases out of anything. It is simple. Roll the ball, kick it and run. Simple stuff. God has made it simple for us to have a relationship with Him. Accept Jesus and what he did for us. Simple. But we make it so hard. As humans we are complex creatures and for some reason we let that complexity enter in to most areas of life. Which makes it harder than it should be. Kickball got difficult last night. Can you steal or lead off? Can you throw to get someone out? Faith gets that way too. Can God forgive anything? What about murderers? Can God make a rock so big he can't lift it? We all do it. So maybe on this Monday we can start our week by resting in the fact that we are not God, but we accept his unmeasurable love and love Him and others in return.
