A Note From Pastor Robyne
Hello friends,
Do you have a pet peeve? You know something that irritates you? Instead of listening to the radio, I started to listen to books on tape when I drive. I was three discs in, when the fourth disc of the story took a dark turn. I listened for a few minutes and realized that this was not the story I was previously listening to. I took the disk out and put it aside. When I pulled over, I realized the remainder of the discs were labeled with a completely different story. The book on tapes were part of a fill-a- bag from the public library. I certainly didn’t expect the library to check every disc for every story. It could have simply been an oversight of the person who donated the item. Was it annoying? Yes. But a pet peeve probably not, those are things like nails on a chalkboard, talking on a cell phone in public spaces, or people who cut in line. There was nothing I could do about the story on tape except discard it, which I did. The next story I chose was better than the first one, and it contained all the discs. How we choose to let daily irritations affect us, is well – up to us. I am going to choose not to sweat the small stuff, because in daily life, there is a lot of small stuff.
Let’s embrace the peace that surpasses all understanding in the face of our frustrations. The peace of God can guide our words and actions, enabling us to express patience rather than irritation.
Join me this Sunday as we talk about Uriah the Hittite.
See you at 10am
God bless you all
Pastor Robyne
