It is generosity that allows many things to move forward, including our Sharathon and we so appreciate your support. But there is a difference between generosity and tithing. In both cases, Carmen recommends to start giving at a young age. 

Dave is back and his voice is moving "out of the basement and back to the ground floor". 

Bill brought us back to tithing and how it impacts the church. 

As Dave had been out, he wondered how far the needle moved towards our running start for Sharathon. 

Carmen was surprised but glad to hear that smaller meal portions are gaining in popularity. 

Technology has moved us forward in many ways but it also can be a hindrance. That is the case with a new QR code-based scam. 

Dave had something he wanted to do, but before he could do that, Carmen needed him to move and he needed Bill to move. That thing he wanted to do was play a new song from Jeremy Rosado who we are looking forward to seeing after Sharathon. 

Bill shared a comment based on a conversation yesterday about landlines making a comeback for parents of young teens. And in order for us to move forward towards true freedom, sometimes we have to lose other false freedoms. That led to Carmen sharing a quote from theologian D.A. Carson. 

As we move forward towards Sharathon, Bill wanted to revisit the FIND JOY line that we rediscovered we had earlier in the week. And we heard from several about how they started listening and why they continue to listen. 

Dave shared a prayer request for his youngest grandson and a praise report for his eldest granddaughter who is making strides in athletics, at school and at church. 

Carmen is very encouraged by artists like Josiah Queen and how they are helping Gen Z move the needle when it comes to having a relationship with Jesus.
