Whose Skeleton Is That In My Closet? by Dana Dorough Have you looked in your closet lately? No, not in that closet – in your spiritual closet? We all have a past (Romans 3:23), but some of us seem to keep ours packed away somewhere, as if we will use it later. Why hold onto it? 1 John 1:9 says, God is faithful and just to forgive us if we ask Him and Psalm 103:12 says, He puts our past sins as far away from Him as the East is from the West. That’s pretty far! If God doesn’t remember our past sins, why do we let them cripple us and keep us from being effective for Him? Isaiah 43:18-19 – “Forget the former things, do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing!” Wow, that is so awesome! I think it’s time we all do some spiritual spring cleaning. Let’s toss out those skeletons! The enemy may have ruled our past, but he has no claim on our future with Christ. God has a plan for each of us, and I can’t wait to see what He does in our lives as the One True Body of Christ. So just let the youth group know if you need a hand cleaning out your closet and nailing it shut. We will be glad to help!
Q&A with Ms. Florence: Everything you were dying to ask, but only the youth had the guts to! Have you always lived around here? No. I grew up in Florida. What is your favorite food? Fish Do you like Josh’s hair better long or short? Short, definitely. What was your favorite adventure? A trip to the mountains where we stayed in 3 different towns Have you ever been on TV? Yes, I was on TV square dancing. Can you touch your nose with your tongue? No, I never could do that. Do we stink at asking questions? They are fine with me. Who was your movie star crush? Cary Grant. What kind of music do you listen to? Country and gospel. Who is your favorite singer? Carrie Underwood. Do you have any sisters and brothers? I had 2 sisters and 1 brother but they have passed away. What is your favorite hobby? I love to fish and shoot armadillos.
