E-Flash From Dan, 6/17/10

Dear E-Flash Friends;

I just saw the remake of the movie “Karate Kid”.  It was a tad long but, all in all, pretty good.  Although, you might want to take that positive endorsement with a grain of salt because I love movies involving the martial arts way more than the average person.

(I still have daydreams in which I step in to save a defenseless victim who is being bullied by hardened thugs and I beat up 6 bad guys all at one time.  In keeping with my faith, I then help the ruffians to see the error of their ways and lead them all to Christ. …It’s sort of a long complicated daydream.  At one point, we even take up an offering.)

I think the simple, but important, lesson of the movie is this:  If life is difficult and your problems seem insurmountable, win a kung fu tournament.  Boy, I just need to pause for a moment and soak in that lesson.  If you’re like me, that’s a truth that will sustain you for many months to come.

Speaking of Father’s Day….

(I learned how to make snazzy transitions like that in a creative writing class.)

…Speaking of Father’s Day, it’s coming up this Sunday, June 20^th.  This is the day in which we honor dads and thank them for all their love, help, encouragement, lawn mowing, wise advice, and support.

I hope you’re planning to be here this Sunday, 9am or 11am, we’re going to have terrific music which will glorify God and we’ll honor our dads, too.  Plus, I have a few neat stories to tell about fathers in the message I’m preparing.  In fact, in one of the stories I beat up 6 bad guys all at one time and then help them to see the error of their ways….oh wait…hold on…oops, my bad…that one has nothing to do with Father’s Day.

Well, I hope you’ll come, anyhow.  We really are planning to have a special day.  Really.

Hope your week has been a good one.

Blessings,

Dan

P.S.  If your dad is around, why not invite him to come to church?  We want to tell him thanks.
