Summer Vacation
Tis the season for summer vacations. What began as the unofficial official beginning of summer with Memorial Day weekend will now continue through Father's Day - through the 4th of July - all the way till we reach Labor Day weekend. I hope you will take time during these three months to get away and get some much needed rest and relaxation. But as you do, don't forget to worship in church and keep the Sabbath. It can be fun attending different churches when you are out of town - out of state - out of country. My wife and I like to attend other denominations when we are on vacation. This week I was reading Charles Neal's weekly Monday Morning Reflections and he addressed this topic saying that we always need to keep the Sabbath because worship is the lifeline that keep us sane. In his blog, he writes, "The reason worship is central to keeping Sabbath is the lifeline that keeps us sane is grounded to the one who created us." It is always good to stay grounded. This summer, enjoy your vacation time, but also enjoy the new places where you can go and worship God. What a wonderful way to meet new brothers and sisters in Christ while keeping your priorities in the right direction. Have a wonderful and happy summer! - Dennis W. Flaugher
