Climate VS. Weather

Sometimes when we have a bad day or few days we begin to think that our worlds are falling apart. Have you ever been there? This week I was talking with my dad about the ups and downs of Pastoring. I was telling him how Sundays like Mothers day can be taxing on me because so many people in our church spend that day out of town with their families. He gave me a great analogy I wanted to share with us.

He told me the other day he was talking with a guy about climate change and being the God fearing republican that he is told the guy he thought climate change was hog wash. He based his theory on the cold weather he saw this year in places like Buffalo and Chicago. His friend reminded him that we can't make judgements based on the weather rather we need to take a good look at the climate. The weather gives you a quick snapshot but the climate gives you a look at the overall big picture. Then my dad asked me how's the climate at your church. Wow what a different question!
While the weather may have been a bit "down" on Sunday the climate was HOT! Our church is getting it! I'm so proud of this church and so proud of where we are going and who we are.

Love ya guys!
