Yesterday we asked our people who were in worship to write down the greatest question they would like to ask God about anything in their life, family, or the world. We supplied post-it notes for everyone.  I will know today the response of those present.  It was easy for me to write mine!

My question to God is:  “Why do you let bad and horrible weather happen on Sunday mornings?”  At 8:30a.m. the rain began and continued torrentially at both campuses until after 12:00 noon.  It was horrible and torrential rainfall, accentuated with lightning and thunder.  Of course, this played upon the emotions of people so it was a difficult Sunday.  So, I have reaffirmed in my heart what my question is to God.

I will let others judge the message, even though it was a difficult setting in which to speak; however, the worship was outstanding.  The entire theme of the service was powerful and I only wish the message would have received complete 100% concentration from everyone without the apparent distractions. 

Yes, God is in control…I know it.  Yes, He is in charge of the weather, even on Sundays.  I only pray that God will have His people step up in every way to a greater and higher degree, regardless of weather.  It is amazing though:  90 plus year-old people on walkers drove to church for both Connection groups and Worship; yet, hundreds of healthy people “did not want to get out in the rain!”  Go figure that one.  Of course, we all know, if the Razorbacks had been playing in torrential rainfall, we would all be out there in our rain gear, braving the weather! 

Okay, enough of my soapbox for the day.  Life goes on and so does church, regardless of circumstances. 

Seriously, we kick off our 50 days of prayer on this coming Sunday, so read your mail this week and begin with us on Sunday morning.
