Good morning,

A couple of summers ago, my family had the chance to go to Paris. We did all of the stereotypical touristy things, but one of the more unique things that we did was tour the catacombs under the city. There are miles and miles of tunnels that were once used as places to dump old dead bodies. Everywhere you walk the walls are lined with thousands of old bones. 
Because of this experience it isn’t that hard for me to envision the scene that Ezekiel lays out for us in Ezekiel 37. He describes a valley of dry bones, and he encounters God who asks him if these bones can live. God then breathes life into the bones, and they begin to reconnect and turn into people. Can you image the scene? Bones reconnecting as skin begins to appear over them? Creepy right?
 
Throughout the story of God, we encounter a God who breathes life into people who thought they were dead. God shows up to people who have been beaten down by life and asks them the question, "can these bones live?" 

Many times, these people who related more to dry bones than someone of importance go on to do amazing things. When God breathes new life into us, we begin to realize that we might feel like nothing but old dry bones, but we are just getting started. 

I look forward to worshiping with all of you all on Sunday at 10 AM!

Grace and Peace, 

Corey
