Scout Sunday

I want to say thank you to all the scout families that took time out of their Sunday to join us for Scout Sunday. Our pack is nothing but a name without the boys and their families and I am truly blessed to have such a great Pack family. We, as a Pack, are blessed to have such a supportive Church behind us. I really feel like there are great things in store for our boys.

I tend to get emotional and sometimes and a little scatter brained in front of a big crowd, and I failed to mention some key things. Like, what day and time we meet, but Richie bailed me out on that one. However, the biggest regret I have about my performance was that I failed to mention what great parents and leaders we have. For that I am truly sorry.

While this was my Ryan's last Scout Sunday, it will not be my last. I have been trying to find a new Cubmaster behind the scenes for the last several months. I was feeling overwhelmed and thought it was time for me to find someone that could provide a better run Pack. That all changed over Christmas break when I realized that I am being called to put more of myself into the Pack and quit looking to find a way out. Sometimes it's a real eye opener when you let your heart take control of your thought process.

Jeanne and I had talked about needing to get our family in Church for several years, but never acted on it. We would occasionally go to special services like Easter and Mother's day, but that was the extend of our Chruch life. That was until we recieved an invitation to Friend Day. The postcard invitation had a hand written note from Pastor Joe saying that he would really like to see us there. We attended Friend Day on October 31, 2010 and that was the first step in what has been a whril wind adventure. I have not missed a Sunday Worship Service since that day, and I really do look forward to Sunday. As those of you that were at Scout Sunday saw, I have joined the Choir and enjoy participating in that ministry. Mark and Abby have started Awana on Wednesday nights and as a result of the first Awana meeting, Mark acepted Jesus as his Savior. Abby and Mark were both Baptized on January 23, 2011 and Jeanne and I joined the Church on January 30, 2011. I am in awe at the blessings we have recieved. I am renewed as a person. I have not felt this alive in quite a long time.

If you do not attend Church on a regular basis, I highly reccomend you do. It's one thing to know that you have given your life to Christ in the past and to believe that you are saved, but it's a whole other thing to know that and to let God use you and lead you to be the person He wants you to be. If you haven't given you life to Christ and asked Him to forgive you of your sins, just remember this: As long as you are alive, It's never too late. There is hope.

I look forward to see what's in store for us.
