How's your weekend shaping up?

• From Warsaw and looking for something to do this weekend? There's an airshow today and tomorrow at the Warsaw Municipal Airport. On Sunday GBC is inviting folks to come worship with us at 10:30am and stay for a meal. We would be glad to have you join us! You can learn more about GBC on the rest of this site.
• What a privilege to be part of the body of Christ and to be the recipient of the care that that body extends to one of it's members who is hurting. As our son has faced a puzzling and challenging medical issue over the last 2+ weeks the generous love and provision extended to our family has been heart-warming. We like to think we're all independent. Nope. We need the body.
• Perhaps your facebook feed exploded last week with claims of the radical Islamist group that is taking over Iraq beheading Christian children. While it seems clear they are violent persecutors, here's a level headed look at the claim regarding beheading children.
• My brother's take on Robin Williams.
• Kindle Deal - Cold Case Christianity is a look at the evidence for Christianity from the perspective of a veteran cold-case detective. He applies the experience he's gained from examining old evidence to the claims of Christianity. I'm part way through this one and enjoying it. It's $2.99 on Kindle right now; bummer, it was free earlier this week. Marriage Matters by Winston Smith is free.

We didn't know about yesterday, don't know about today and surely don't know about tomorrow. But God knows and rules over all.
