Recently, my son Grant has been taking drum lessons - so his rhythm is getting pretty good - but he has always had a heart to worship God - much like my daughters. Well, last week we were driving somewhere and the Crowder version of You Never Let Go(yes, another crowder reference) came on and Grant says to me from the back seat -hey Dad turn that song up please. Here is some of what that song says - in joy and pain, in sun and rain - you're the same, you never let go - This past Sunday, we had an awesome time of worship - I spoke for a few minutes and during that time I asked those gathered who was on a mountain top and a few hands went up - but then I asked how many were in a valley experience and the majority of the congregation raised their hand - and I want you to know He never let's go - He is there, even in your pain - I believe God wants to do something tremendous through our church in 2008, but it will take all of us joined together - in our shared joy and pain - working together realizing that we must rise above our circumstances and be the people God wants us to be - I for one am committed to that cause -even in my own valley experience - Thanks for your prayers and Talk at you soon RichRich Penningtonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14417804403870678235noreply@blogger.com
