MEDITATION MONDAY.
Yesterday morning, at our chuch family's services, it was announced that we will begin moving into our new building this week. In many ways, we are experiencing a new beginning. Steve spent time talking about that with us yesterday. He took us to the book of Joshua and challenged us with Joshua's words. Joshua had basically told the Israelites that going into the Promised Land was not going to work. They had to be single focused on THE GOD OF ISRAEL. They had other gods that they had to get rid of. Steve said the same thing to us.
- We must allow God to be our everything in heart, mind, body, soul, and strength.
- We must rid ourselves of other gods and have a single God focus.
- We must choose!
Then, he asked me to come up and stand beside him. As we stood there, he told the congregation:
"Choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve...
But as for me and my household,
we will serve the LORD."
Joshua 24:15
.
Families throughout the high school auditorium began to stand. Each one repeated the same words, as they stood. When the congregation, in families, stood united, we repeated the words together. It was a time to commit and TURN OUR WHOLE HEARTS TO GOD.

Happy Valentine's Day, Jesus!
"'Love the Lord your God
with all your heart
and with all your soul
and with all your mind.'
This is the first and greatest commandment.
And the second is like it:
'Love your neighbor as yourself.'
