Well, they’re off! Each of my children has begun their 2011-2012 school year. As I prayed with and for each of them, I was reminded that part of the core of what we do as parents is to prepare and send our children into the world. Our kids are not just ours, they were fashioned by God for great things. Things that as parents we participate in but that go beyond us.

For the past year, RSL has met in the First Colony AMC Movie Theater. Although we do not have access more than one morning a week, I am so grateful that we are able to meet in the theater which is located in the middle of Sugar Land!

If you have children and you are involved in the church, you have certainly reflected on the following question, "When is my child ready to take communion?" Is this a decision a child simply makes on their own or something a parent should encourage? Does the Bible have anything to say to the church in this regard. Of course, the answer is a resounding yes!

On Sunday evening, my mother came into the office of our home and said, “The President is about to make an announcement that seems to be a pretty big deal.” I dropped what I was doing and went with her to hear more. Of course, the networks broke into their normal programming 15 minutes before the end of the hour but the announcement wasn’t made until about 15 minutes after the hour. If you are a fan of the show The Apprentice then you are very much aware of the timeline because you missed the famous words, “You’re fired” for this particular episode.

When I lived in Charlottesville, VA and worked at Trinity Presbyterian Church, I once remember a wiser pastor saying to me, “You have to remember when you are parenting that we raise our children to leave us, not to stay.” At this point, my oldest child was about 4 so the idea that one day I would have to let her go seemed so distant and far away that I readily embraced his advice. But as my daughter approaches Jr. High, my middle child now 10, and my youngest is about to finish his first year of elementary school, I am realizing that time in fact is finite and one day I will need to let my kids go.

Do you like the reset button? I certainly do. Whenever my mac freezes or my entertainment center decides to entertain itself instead of me by acting possessed, I hit the reset button and things begin to move back into place. My mac comes back on and gives me that little chime sound. My entertainment system comes back to life and it is under my control, or at least the control of my remote and things are as they are meant to be again. Wouldn’t it be amazing if life were like that? Actually, I bet Jamie would love it if she could hit a reset button on me sometimes.

Unless you have been locked up for the past few week and have had not contact with the outside world, then you are aware that the season of Advent is almost here. I say almost because everyone is gearing up already!

This morning, I was reading through a hymn that came to mind as I was meditating on the Scriptures.
