Thoughts on Memorial Day
“There never was a good war or a bad peace.”  –Benjamin Franklin

“Ours is a world of nuclear giants and ethical infants. We know more about war than we know about peace, more about killing than we know about living. We have grasped the mystery or the atom and rejected the Sermon on the Mount.”
-General Omar Bradley

Perspective
Copenhagen’s Church of Our Lady, Denmarks’s national cathedral, festures life-sized marble statues of Jesus and his 12 apostles, sculpted by famous Danish artist Bertel Thorvaldsen.
Although the faces of the apostles are easily visible, you can’t look into the face of the Christ-figure unless you kneel at his feet.  This, indeed, is where our faith grows and our hope endures: at the feet of our Savior.

The Lord’s Day
May 15, 2011
Welcome!
As we draw close to God in worship, let us also draw close to others in love and friendship. Pray earnestly, sing joyously, listen intently and greet one another sincerely.

Prepare Your Hearts
Restore our souls, Good Shepherd, and surround us with your goodness and mercy. May our worship be a glimpse of how it will be when we “dwell in the house of the Lord forever? (Psalm 23:6)

Waiting on God
On May 5th, Americans observed the National Day of Prayer.  Waiting on God is an important component of prayer. It’s hard to understand why God delays when we cry out for help.  Why does he allow us to suffer, when he could just say the word and make it all better?  Why must we wait?
Consider a child whose parents always give her whatever she asks, as soon as she asks for it.  That child has little opportunity to learn patience or gratitude.  Because she doesn’t know what it’s like to not have, she cannot appreciate the true value of something.
God may have some of these things in mind when our prayers go unanswered for a time.  As the psalmist exhorts, “Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the Lord! (Psalm 27:14 NRSV)
