In our years in SoCal, we've been very lame church attenders. It's a long story . . .
3 weeks ago, Dan & I had a conversation that went something like this . . .
Me: so, um, every week, I'd kinda rather stay & home and watch football than go to church.
Dan: yeah, me too.
Me: I'm not inclined to keep going if I'd rather watch football every week.
Dan: yeah, me too.
Me: So in the famous words of my Grandma Butch, let's either shit or get off the pot.
Dan: (laughs) . . . yeah, I think we need to try out some new places.
Me: Ok, how about we check out that one church Jude & John were telling us about.
Dan: sounds good.
Sunday we attended New City church for the 2nd time (that's a rare occurrence for us). We were so inspired the first time, that we decided to check it out again. And . . . it . . . didn't . . . disappoint. This week, the worship was even more inspiring, the sermon was both encouraging & challenging (again), and we attended the newcomers lunch & got to meet some folks & ask some questions.
The sermon yesterday was about success. Kevin preached about success not being about the outcome, but about our desire & faithfulness in obedience to Christ & leaving the results in His hands. I'm 100% on board with that! Not signing the paperwork yet . . . but I'm pretty sure this might be "the one" . . . stay tuned.
Oh, yeah- that's really good news. May you be blessed with clear sight and deep self-awareness.
