Wow!!! Monday Night Live went great last night! We had a packed house and the singing was awesome! That's always my favorite part of gathering to worship with other christians. No offense to those of you who worship with pianos and guitars (especially since I'm learning to play one), but to me there is nothing like hearing 150 voices making their own music together. Good stuff.
The kids did great in their skits and I hope they conveyed the message to everyone. I'm always extremely proud of them when they work hard to get their parts right and then proceed to do just that in front of others.
Our theme, as I said before, was "Travel Light". We discussed how God never intended for us to carry our burdens with us. He wants us to give our burdens to him, after all, he handles them much better than we ever could. I'm not sure why (maybe it's pride) but we tend to carry a lot of burdens with us in our lives. Grief, Loneliness, Depression, Anger, Jealousy, Guilt, the list goes on. These things hinder our walk with Christ and they hinder our ability and even our willingness to help others. We are to bear one another's burdens and ultimately give them over to God. We simply can't do it on our own, nor should we have to. When Christ died he bore the weight of the entire world on his shoulders so that we wouldn't have to do it ourselves. Yes, even when we bring those burdens on ourselves. So if you have a burden weighing you down, don't just think about how it effects you, but how it effects those around you. Let go of it and I promise you life will be much easier.
Later, folks
