I thought holidays were supposed to be leave you revived and ahead of schedule? Then again, I usually have to work holidays, so maybe I just don't know how to use them. Honestly, things are a bit of a mess right now, so bear with me this week. I can't find a June calendar, so no promises on the accuracy of the week's agenda, (though I'm pretty sure I got the big events) not that it matters since it's already Wednesday, and the week is nearly over. With calenders, "better late than never" really doesn't work.
Sunday, Ryan gave a great message challenging us to walk with passion in our faith, and to have that same fervent desire for God that great men like Steven had. Using this Holiday where we remember those fallen in battle as a spring board, he simply reminded us of past soldiers in the good fight.
This week I simply want to encourage you to take that challenge and to dig deep into your motivation and inspiration. What is your primary focus right now? What's driving you? What goals do you have? How strong is your desire to see the Kingdom grow? We live in the "Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave", and we've set aside a day for those who have fallen to uphold those words. But if you were to die now, what would you be memorialized for? And to that end, what would the epitaph of the Toledo Church of Christ be, and how have you contributed?

Hi! Thanks for including the verses from Ps. 112. I needed to here those words. I have many stressful things going on right now and I needed the encouragement to not fear bad news. Thank you!!!
