Good Fathers
What are a couple of good things you remember your father doing with you or for you? For most of us we won't be able to stop at a couple of things. Memories will provoke other memories, some as recent as this week (if our father is still alive) some as long ago as we can remember.
Fathers are all different. And each is different at different stages of his life. But good fathers have some things in common.
You can rely on them. They are kind of stable and strong on the inside. They seem to weather the assaults of teenagers that know too much, and the boisterousness of boys who have too much energy, and even the peculiarities of daughters.

What's Good about Christ the King Church?
Lots of things. Well, for today, here a few things that encourage me.
People who pray. It is so encouraging to hear people pray. Our first Monday morning Bible Study group last finished with lots of prayer. I am thankful for the people who meet in twos or threes and in small groups to pray.
People who are having a go at connecting with not-yet-believers. Some do this on their own. Others team up and try different ways of building bridges to the gospel and Christ's church. Some of our attempts don't work. But that is good. It is good to have had a go and tried something. Some of the things that have worked best in my experience have been things that needed two or three attempts to get them going.

Choices
We feel great relief when a decision that has been looming over us is finally made. We feel we can leave that issue behind us and move forward.
But some decisions don't seem to hold their ground. Or if they do it is because of a struggle against forces that seem intent on undoing them. Sometimes circumstances change and we see our earlier decision in a broader or clearer context. Should we change our mind?
It depends of course. Take marriage. Marriage depends on two people making a promise to each other. Nothing holds them together except their word. Sometimes attractive reasons present themselves as to why the promise could be broken. Sometimes difficult circumstances seem to demand that the promise should be broken. What usually happens is that people decide to stay by the original decision. In some ways this new decision is stronger as a result of being made under difficult circumstances.
