Life’s not fair. That’s no great revelation, is it? We can all see that. And yet, we all want it to be fair. We complain when it’s not and we can’t believe it when it shows to be that way. But at least God is fair, right? Are you sure? In fact, there aren’t many examples of God being truly fair in all of scripture. Unfairness is far more common. Truthfully, if God were really fair, we’d all be bound for Hell. So, I’m grateful He’s not fair. The true measure of a person, though, is how they react to that unfairness.
It’s not fair that so many of us have been sick here lately. It’s not fair that I had to ask Timmy and Brian to fill in for me last week with less than 24 hours’ notice. But neither one complained (that I know of) and both allowed God to use them and speak through them in a powerful way. And I’m grateful to them and to God for that.
It’s also not fair that our dear Anna Campbell is back in the hospital. Would you please pray for her? The doctors still don’t know what the problem is and continue to run all kinds of tests. Right now, she’s not in a lot of pain but she’s not well and that’s what we pray for. But she’s in good spirits and she said she doesn’t need anything. But there’s no telling what Joe is eating when he gets home, know what I mean?
I love you all and I can’t wait to see you this Sunday at Christ Fellowship! Thank you all for checking on me and giving me good stuff to eat while I was sick. I’m 100% now though and I can’t wait to worship with my church family! (Except you sick folks. Y’all stay home.) 🙂 — Todd
