Friday the 13th is about superstition and associated with bad luck. Be careful today and avoid going under ladders, breaking mirrors, and black cats today. Best wishes to us all today.

What happened to compassion and enlightenment?
There is a lot of rebuilding needed in America. Imagine if those soldiers marching in a totally unnecessary and costly parade on Saturday, were put in communities to restore and renew places like Western North Carolina after being destroyed by a hurricane, what good could happen. But sure, feed the stupid ego of a man who has no honor or no idea of service to others. It’s nuts if you ask me.
Electricity is more of a necessity these days, but when you go without it for a while like many do, it is a definite luxury. This might sound like a first-world problem, but when we lost power last Saturday afternoon, it was not fun not having air conditioning and TV and Internet and access other stuff. So I am going to say electricity is what I can’t live without easily. I am grateful to the linemen and technicians who got our power back on late Sunday morning.

Jesus tells followers to welcome the visitor, the stranger, the immigrant. This is the way.

This morning, church was held in our fellowship hall because the air conditioning was down in the sanctuary, and it was cooler downstairs. Sometimes you gotta roll with the punches, and Christ was still front and center. There were plenty of warm-hearted people on this Pentecost Sunday.
