New Here?First Baptist Church of Herndon Blogs
Happy New Year! I have had a challenging two weeks trying to connect two big holidays with the posting of this blog. Christmas and New Years can both be life changing events.
A young woman finds herself stranded on the road, out of gas. A homeless man decides right then and there to use his last $20 for gas so she can get home safely. She revisits him with some supplies, and gift cards, and food, but feels it’s not enough.
Indecision – definition: “The inability to make a decision quickly”. Recently, a member of the Drop-In class shared a list of paraprosdokians with me. What are they you ask?
Communication – definition: “The imparting or exchanging of information or news”. We think we communicate all the time. But too often we are just making noise. Consider for a moment the conversations you had today.
Trust – definition: “a firm belief in the reliability, truth, ability, or strength of someone or something.” I’ve heard it said, and have to agree, that the word hero is overused and therefore watered down. The word trust, not so much. Our trust is challenged daily. Who and what do you trust?
Don’t tell anyone, but I think I am suffering from “thankful overload!” I try not to be thankful, whining along with the people I routinely see, but it creeps up on me.
