AM I CHOOSING WISDOM?

During our Good Friday Service Mark talked about the two thieves hanging on either side of Jesus during His crucifixion. I really liked the contrast this picture presented of the condition of everyone in the world; either we humbly bow and asked God’s forgiveness, or we lean towards an arrogant attitude of doubting God and challenging Him to do something for us if He really exists. As be begin our study of Proverbs a similar contrast presents itself; will we be wise and listen to God’s instructions about life, or will we ignore God and live as we please. God’s always gives us His wisdom for our benefit and His glory; to ignore such teaching brings with it an unnecessarily difficult life.

"The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge; Fools despise wisdom and instruction.” (Proverbs 1:7)

Ladies, I’m excited to have you join me as we look in detail at the great and perfect wisdom of God during the next few weeks on Thursday mornings. We cannot ignore the instructions of the Proverbs. Please join us for this very encouraging study.

This coming Thursday morning Patricia will be leading our class while Mark and I are attending our area wide fellowship of churches meetings in Everett. We will return on Saturday.

Our dear babysitters will once again be caring for our little ones.

Please be praying for Bonnie Campbell who lost her dear twin brother this week. Also, pray for Gary and Roberta Cowden as he is in extremely serious health.

THE GOODNESS OF GOD IN CHILE

Me Pippa and Mark.jpg

Getting to meet our first great-granddaughter Pippa certainly is one of the experiences that we will not forget. A big bonus for us is that we get to also enjoy her parents, Jorge and Naomi (our granddaughter), our son Caleb and our grandson Mishael while we stay here in rural Chile near Patagonia. What an amazing world God made for us to enjoy and to cause us to be in awe of Him.

Ladies, it doesn't look like we need to be concerned about snow this week in Gig Harbor. The lesson plan for last Thursday will be happening this week instead. Emily Hunt will be leading the study of Psalm 86 and I hope you will plan to be there.

Thank you for praying for Mark and I as we spend time with family and prepare to speak at a couple of conferences.
