Tonight's Jesus week event is a concert, which will take place at 8:30pm in either St. Paul's or the Earl Hall Ballroom (sorry that I can't be more specific but this is all the info I have...I'm sure they'll be a sign or something posted so don't let this discourage you from attending).
I was talking to a friend today who gave me a new way of thinking about faith that I never really thought about. He basically made a distinction between our Christian walk and and the circumstances we face on a daily basis. Ideally, our walk should be like a ladder, in that we're always moving closer to God, albeit at different rates. It's life, however, that's the rollercoaster. Bad things happen sometimes that get us down, but that doesn't necessarily mean that our faith is weak or that we're moving away from God.
Even though we may not understand the curveballs that life throws at us sometimes, don't let them get you off track. God's got everything under control and if we stick with him, we can't go wrong!
Love,
Alisa
P.S. Don't forget to keep your brothers and sisters in prayer......

Question of the Day
As a surprise child born to elderly and barren parents, he was raised in the wilderness and emerged as an advance man for a new Jewish cult leader. He was an awkward person socially. Leaders often felt judged as he spoke his mind no matter what the consequences. At a national party, it finally caught up with him and led to his execution.
yesterday's answer: Mary (Read Luke 1:26-56, 2:1-7)
