Warm greetings, loved ones.  Winter seems to be moving out and I don’t think we’ll be missing it, at least until those 100 degree days start visiting us.  So right now pop open a window, enjoy the fresh air, and read on for the latest happenings in our church home.

We missed having Edith with us last Sunday, but I talked to her a few minutes ago and she’s feeling much better.  She’s going back to work tomorrow and plans to be back in church this Sunday.  We didn’t have the bus again due to a tire needed fixed.  I think that got rectified today and the weather will be better so I’m looking forward to seeing everyone back.

I’m going to talk to you about hearing voices.  There are a cacophony of them around us.  Some of them are silent, yet screen for your attention from the billboard you pass on the street to that screen you carry around in your hand.  Others come from media and still others from the people around us.  everyone’s got an opinion.  Everyone has the secret to your happiness, and after all isn’t that what it’s all about?  Take this advice.  Buy this product!  Make more money!

Some of us may hear a different set of voices.  They say we’re just animals anyway.  Life has no meaning.  Do what you want because that’s all that matters.  Maybe you’d be better off dead.

But there is another voice crying out for us to listen.  It shouts from the order of creation.  It is heard in all that is good and true.  It calls to that part of us that knows something is missing.  Its source is the infinite creator of all things.  It is the voice of wisdom, and we ignore it at our peril.  Let us pick up again the book of Proverbs and learn a little wisdom together.  We’ll read from Proverbs 1:20-33.

Love to you all,

Larry
