"Im so glad Im a Whosoever."

Hello Everybody!

I am journaling my latest adventures, starting with Sunday, August 14th.

Sunday: That morning I attended Victory Bible Church. The Lord really spoke to me through the sermon. The guest speaker spoke about unity in the church; and how important it is.

" We ought to have unity in the church body." He said. If you have been in the church a lot like me, I am sure you have heard the church compared with the human body before. I typically have heard the church body is like the human body in that, both are made up of many parts. just like each part of the human body is vital for the person to survive, so are members of the church body.

But all too often the church body does not function well because one or more of the members have poor performance or struggle with conflicts about petty things.

The guest speaker described all of this in a way I could really understand, and he carried a fresh perspective I had never heard of before. "Unity is good and pleasant." He said. " What if the kidney decided to stop working? What if one day the kidney says, 'Im mad at the mouth! It's getting all the attention! I'm not gonna work today!"

During the sermon he gave these references; which I think are helpful: Psalms 133:1, Ephesians 4, Ephesians 3:13.

He quoted john 3:16, and followed that by saying; "Im so glad Im a Whosoever."

After church I had lunch and then later Dad drove me to Lyndon; where I would be staying with my best friend Sarah. Then the rest of that day we mostly just chilled at her house; and we had some of her birthday cake. (she turned 20 on Sunday) The cake was awesome, Sally (her mother) got this awesome idea a long time ago that Sarah would have a King Kong cake someday, since Sarah loves monkeys. So the cake was of the Empire State Building and had a plastic gorrilla figure planted on the top. It was so cool.

Sarahs brothers Mark and David were very hospitable and introduced me to the Nintendo games; giving excellent pointers on how to play Mario. I got a little bit into it I guess, because I stayed up a little while after Sarah playing Mario that night. It can be addictive! Thank you Mark and David for your video game pointers!
