ABOUT LAST SUNDAY

                Confession – owning, taking responsibility for, and admitting what happened to me.

                So here’s my confession: I never thought two old hymns we sang last Sunday would be used by God to start a spark within my heart. What songs? They are: “On Christ the Solid Rock I Stand (My Hope is Built on Nothing Less)” and “Take My Life and Let It Be” (new and old versions). How could Andrew Halladay choose songs that were on target with the singular point of last Sunday’s message: all human effort towards peace with God is in vain; all that matters is Christ?

In the past week, news organizations carried the story of a former Russian wrestler who wanted to set a world record with the aid of his ear. The plan involved attaching a rope to a military helicopter with the other end tied around one of his ears!  It was not a pretty sight. His ear looked bloody and mangled. But, he succeeded in pulling the helicopter a short distance for the record.
