Thanks

One of our pastoral staff, Gerry Davis, preached a wonderful sermon this morning on thankfulness. He was just going along, minding his own business, convincing us that if we weren't thankful that we were a bunch of slobs, when all of a sudden I realized that he was intentionally painting a picture of empty emotion only to bring in Christ to show us the poverty entailed in failing to move beyond an "emotion" of gratitude and on to Jesus himself. Jesus is the one who can take the pittance we're supposed to be thankful for and supply and multiply that for the good of the Kingdom of God.
