Shine Your Light!
In today’s sermon,
Elaine told a story of
A lighthouse keeper:
On a stormy night,
He climbed the rocks to the light;
Turned it on and fell.
He fell and he died
That night on the rocky hill
After doing his job.
A sailor that night
Saved his passengers and crew
Because of the light.
The lightkeeper died
So that others might be saved
From falls in darkness.
Elaine Hundley, who delivered the message in church today reminded us that, like this lighthouse keeper, Jesus died that we might live. He gave His life for us. Likewise, we are reminded to share our lives – give what we have – to brighten the lives of others.
Elaine read from Luke 12:13-21,
and she reminded us –
“All we have is on loan to us
From the Lord, the Almighty.
If we have extra, we are told
To give it away; don’t hold tightly.“

- When did you start blogging?
- Why did you start blogging?
- How often do you generally blog?
- What’s the main topic of your blog (your “niche”)?
- Is there a particular time of day when you generally blog? If so, when and why?

- Do you have a tendency to post with that person in mind? Or do you have a different technique for personalizing your message?
- Of all your posts, which one would you save if all were lost except one?
- What’s one piece of advice you can pass on to beginning bloggers?
- Where do you get most of your ideas?
- If you could improve one thing about WordPress, what would it be?
See ya tomorrow.
