Hi all!  Carissa sent me this thought following our meeting with Peter Henderson a few weeks ago.  It’s brief and to the point.  I hope you enjoy it; it will encourage us as we take it to heart and put it into action!

I was thinking about that story that Peter shared—the one about the church that had all the necessary supplies needed for the wall (bricks, etc) except for the concrete to hold it together. I keep thinking about how that relates to life and how we can sometimes think we have all the necessary tools we need, but without the Lord to hold it all together, it isn’t worth anything. He is the one ingredient we need to build a foundation that is lasting and eternal. His word is like the mortar that we can build our life upon. Without it (the word), we can be like those people who couldn’t accomplish what they needed/wanted to without that essential component.
