Starbucks

Starbucks sleeping on Clint's desk, her new favorite place. We just finished painting the walls that dusty orange color, after 4 coats and 2 days. But it was worth it to get rid of the pink (what pastor has a pink office?, well I guess the pastor before Clint did, yikes!) We named Starbucks aptly cause whenever we drink it, she wants a sip!
Last night there was so much lighting that the thunder couldn't keep up. Its like they were chasing one another. I was reading in the book of John while Clint was at an elders meeting, and this verse popped out at me "Everyone who commits sin is a slave to sin. The slave does not remain in the house forever, the son remains forever. So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed" John 8:34. So many people here in South Africa have maids, or servants. So it made the image even more real. Servants only remain in the house for a short time, but SONS remain forever. Christ the SON of God uses this to compare us to sons, in His family, where we will be in His house forever. Our God is so great.
Thanks for all your tales of Resolved, how cool that it was centered around the gospel. I'm sure we will be listening to them soon.
