E-Flash From Dan, July 26, 2012


Dear E-Flash Friends;

We’re driving down Interstate 75 in the state of Georgia, as I write these words.

Rachel has a “Dr. Who Sonic Screwdriver” toy which makes a noise that sounds like a ray gun.  I have no idea what a “Sonic Screwdriver” is but I’m told that if you watch “Dr. Who” you will know what it means.  (By the way, during her next nap we’ll be removing the batteries.)

Taylor is studying.  Yes, you read that correctly.  He’s studying right now as we’re driving in order to enter classes in the fall with some advance preparation.  (It’s true, John M!)

And Nadia is driving… which is a good thing because if I was driving and writing this E-Flash at the same time our traveling safety would be slightly compromised.  Although I’m actually pretty good at driving and monitoring the GPS for any nearby Taco Bell locations.

While gazing ahead at the endless stretch of road the highway can seem like it goes on forever, but it doesn’t.  God willing, we will be arriving back home in Oak Lawn tomorrow (Friday).  Whoo hoo!  I am truly looking forward to being home and gathering with the church I love this Sunday. 

We’re going to have some terrific services this Sunday.  Our youth will be leading the worship time and sharing some of their IYC experiences, as well.  It will be inspirational!

And I will be bringing a message from John chapter 2, vv. 13-22, titled, “Jesus Clears The Temple.”  This is an interesting and challenging passage of scripture that reveals some important truths to us about the nature of God—and what stirs the emotions of Jesus.  I am so excited to be able to be home and share with you.  Please make plans to attend and take the risk of inviting a friend.  You will both be blessed!

We have one more day of driving so if you think about it, we would appreciate your prayers for safe travel.

See you soon!

Love and blessings,

Dan
