We had some fun during the message yesterday. I opened the message with the question, “Where are you headed, spiritually?” I was making the point that our growth in the Christian life involves a process, and that process involves change. That’s not limited to the spiritual, it’s also true physically. Change is part of every day life. In fact, it’s been said that the only constant in life is change.

By way of illustration, I rhetorically asked the question, “How many of you have changed physically?” And while everybody was thinking about that, I brought THIS PICTURE up on the screen. No, I wasn’t finishing up a 40 day fast, I actually used to be that skinny! The picture was taken while Laurie and I were on our honeymoon (almost 25 years ago!). What can I say, Laurie had a thing for stick figures, I guess.
