Suit Up: Family Style

Over the past few months, the church I go to in Jackson has done a sermon series (available online for those interested) on Ephesians and how to do church "family style." I like that. Community is important to me, and family can be a prime example of community (I know not everyone feels this way and for good reasons). Granted, with breaks and such, I was not there for all of those weeks, and in all honesty, I don't remember a lot from many of the sermons I was able to hear. That wasn't the case for these last two sermons.

Oops... I didn't think that would happen...

I've learned a lot about screwing up over the past 19 years. Not that I'm calling myself a screw-up, but I have messed up a lot throughout my entire life. I think we all have.

For example, something my older brother used to say when he was growing up was "oops, I didn't think that would happen..." He was an adventurous fellow. My parents used to say (all in good fun, for those of you who might think my parents are terrible people), "well, we only have to get him to 18, then if he does something stupid, it's his own fault."

Here I sit, sick as a dog. Okay, not really, I've been sicker, and I can't recall a time of my dog being sick, but the point stands; I feel crummy. I have a fever, I'm freezing hot, I ache, and I have more snot than usual, but you know what? I'm content.
