A year later to the Friday we shared at Brainerd a moment of silence and some words for the family and friends of Scott Briody. His daughter also shared at a get together at the podium some of her thoughts about her dad. A couple of others shared as well. This is also in video form on my Facebook Page. So this is not new. I just wanted to make sure it was part of my podcast library.

Mark 1:40-45

Why do we come to God or to Jesus? For wisdom, for fellowship, for relationship? Or is it just to see a magic show?

Being overwhelmed. We all get there for some reason or another. Even Jesus got overwhelmed. What did he do to overcome being overwhelmed?

Some these look SO good. Some things taste SO good. Some things feel SO good but they lead to death! Physical death and spiritual death. The only thing that is attractive and leads to LIFE is Jesus. Don't be deceived......

If you are a believer and follower of Christ we often forget the power that is working within us. Don't forget. If you are not a follower of Christ, you are missing out. All the things you are doing on your own could be done w/ Christ at your side. Don't. forget.

It's hard to follow people some time. Trust issues. Faith issues. Personal Issues. All kinds of things make it hard to follow. But following God should be easy right? lt's not. Hopefully this will encourage you to follow and trust God more effectively :)

Why do bad things happen to good people. In fact, why does good things happen to good people?

There are so many things we are starving for. Sometimes we are just starving and empty. Hope this encourages you. It encouraged Jesus.

Wouldn't it be awesome if we always did the right thing. Acted the right way, Said the right thing. Thought the right thing. Always make the right choices and decisions. There was ONE who did. He is Who we strive for :)

Which one do we need more? Repentance or Relationship. I talk about relationship all the time in our community. So does Chaplain Raymond Rizzo. Is it the most important thing. What about repentance. It is a Biblical term but no one talks about it. It is important? Not important? Or....is it actually more important than our relationship w/ God??
