Notes from Pastor Dinger:
|
|
|
|
|
My oldest son has become obsessed with Calvin and Hobbes, and so we each night we read a Calvin and Hobbes strip. In the very first Calvin and Hobbes comic strip, Calvin's dad is working on the car, when Calvin walks up in a safari hat and says, "So long, Pop! I'm off to check my tiger trap! I rigged a tuna fish sandwich yesterday, so I'm sure to have a tiger by now!" His dad replies, "They like tuna fish, huh?" As Calvin walks off, he says, "Tigers will do anything for a tuna fish sandwich!" The final frame shows Hobbes, hanging by his foot from a tree, munching on a tuna fish sandwich. He says, "We're kind of stupid that way."
Every day we are tempted to be less than we can be. Without giving it much thought, we choose what's easiest, we choose what is right before us. We seldom consider how much more is possible. We rarely think that there is another way. We're kind of stupid that way.
But thank God that when Jesus was offered the easy thing right in front of him – he did not fall for the temptation and he stayed his course and stayed true to his mission – the road to the cross. Thank God that he loves us even when we fall into temptation and take the bait set for us – when we’ve been kind of stupid that way.

The touring choir is made up of 46 students from the 60-voiced concert choir and they will be performing a varied program that included classic works by J. S. Bach, Hassler, Mendelssohn and Handel, as well as some traditional spirituals, hymns and anthems. The award-winning choir is under the direction of Dr. Jerrode Baker Marsh.
