Went out to Christ Lutheran this morning. Pastor Beebe's sermon was based on the Gospel of Mark where Jesus calls the first disciples. Pastor asked us what we are passionate about. He talked about the disciples leaving their nets and families to follow Jesus. Pastor didn't think they just dropped the families and belongings, there is talk later about their continued ties. You don't have to walk around with just the clothes on your back and no place to live to follow Christ. You can write a blog and share the word, serve the poor, feed the homeless and care for one another while you still keep your home and family. Pastor was passionate about delivering his sermon, I liked it a lot!
On this day;
2013 - I was up in Roscommon and Andy came home from the hospital. I had to leave to come home because Nicole was going up to Michiluca winter camp and that left Mom home alone. Every year at this time for the last few years, usually Mom, but sometime Andy has been in the hospital. Mom is not feeling well this weekend and I need to take her to doctor tomorrow. This is a hard time of year for the elderly or people with chronic health problems. Drink more water! is my battle cry.
1971 - Maj. Gen. Idi Amin led a coup that deposed Milton Obote and became president of Uganda. Bad day for Uganda.
Parenting - Can you imagine the disciples mothers when their sons walked off to follow Jesus?
"You are going where with who and doing what?" Where will you sleep, what will you wear, who will feed you?" "How well do you know this guy Jesus?" "The job doesn't pay?" "Who are his parents? what do they do for a living, where do they live?"
Ha Bhutan - Last week here lets look at social services;
