Major's Minute
I have a family member, which shall remain unnamed, who helped me remember a simple lesson. This person had to take a vision test. For what reason? Again, I shall not tell. As this person was asked to cover up each eye to read the lines on the vision chart, this person realized that one eye could not read anything. Upon further investigation, it was found out that this person was only wearing one contact! The person administering the test started laughing and saying she's never seen this before. She's seen people wearing glasses or contacts, or forgot their glasses, but never half the number of contacts needed.
As many of us are slowly getting back into the rhythm of school and work again from the summer months, let's remember to slow down a bit. Take time to put on what we need to in order to see clearly. Take the time in the Word, to see God's promises. Take time to pray to see God's kindness. Take time to worship with our family to see God's faithfulness. When we do this, we see more clearly who God is.
Now we see things imperfectly, like puzzling reflections in a mirror, but then we will see everything with perfect clarity. All that I know now is partial and incomplete, but then I will know everything completely, just as God now knows me completely.
1 Corinthians 13:12

**Note - We are updating our volunteer files. We'll be asking current and new volunteers to complete the volunteer packet. We will also be giving you instructions on how to get additional fingerprinting (now required by law) for those who work with youth. You will not need to pay for anything. We will guide you on how to get this done.**
