My dad always told his teams to leave the locker rooms better than they found them. I always thought that was a great thing. Seems that this principle applies well, or even better with people.

The technology upgrades did not go as expected and the blog site was unavailable from Monday until yesterday afternoon. Quite a large unexpected outage to say the least. However, things are working now and the technology upgrades will continue this week, with a much smaller impact on the availability.

Anyway here’s something to remember while you attempt to repair the damage to your live that was done without reading this blog over the few days.

Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
Isaiah 1:18 KJV

Yesterday I was able to spend a few minutes talking with the middle school kids about being a light in the darkness.  We spoke a lot of about jars of clays and about how we are light as a response to the coming of the Christ, not in order to gain anything.  We finished up with this verse and this little grab from Pinterest.  The young ladies appreciate that.

⁹ And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.   2 Corinthians 12: (KJV)
