Good day, friends and family.  I don’t know about you, but I’ve been enjoying the cooler weather.  The only thing is I don’t want to get up in the morning.  It’s so warm and comfortable under the covers.  But we have work to do, and I especially like the work I get to do on the weekends.  I get to do what God made me to do when I am preparing to be with you on Sunday.  My prayer for all of us is that we have that joy.

I’ve been thinking about peace.  I speak of it fairly often because it is a recurring theme in the Bible.  I often quote passages that tell us to pursue peace.  That’s an active word.  We can’t just wait and hope for it.  We have to go after it.  What does that look like?  What does it mean for us to pursue peace in our daily lives?  How might we pursue peace in our workplace, our church, our families, and especially with God?  I hope you’ll join us tomorrow as we look into His word for the answers, starting in 1 Peter 3:8-12.

I learned from Cindy this week that her grandsons have now contracted the coronavirus.  She is waiting for test results on herself so unless she gets a negative result in time I do not expect that we will see her tomorrow.  Pray for her and the family for quick recovery. Pray for everyone’s protection during this time and for all of those we know already facing health challenges.  I still ask for the best result as I understand it while trusting that the Lord knows better.

Love to you all.  I hope I’ll see you tomorrow.
