Sunday was a wonderful day! As a church family we were able to recognize, encourage, challenge, and pray over our graduating seniors. It was emotional for sure because this group of young people was the first group I got to be with all throughout high school. But it was also inspiring to witness how God has worked in and through these students over the last four years. I can't wait to see how God will use them as they step forward into the future!
I titled the message I shared Sunday "Chasing Elusions." I like this play on words. All too often we get caught up in chasing so many things in this life. In a lot of ways what we try so hard to chase though, only continues to elude us. We aren't really ever satisfied. There is always something else to chase after. Before long we are like a dog chasing a rabbit, and we lose sight of everything else going on around us. Is it good to have dreams and goals? YES! But if we are not careful the dream becomes an end in itself and we forget what it means to chase after the heart of God.
What have you found yourself caught up chasing in this life?
How do you make sure you are first and foremost chasing after the heart of God?

How I wish I could've been present; I've heard some very encouraging remarks about the occasion. But, of course, a guy needs to vacation occasionally with his family.
