What I Still Haven’t Really Learned

What I Still Haven’t Really Learned

I’ve been working out my salvation with fear and trembling for about 38 years. God has been so good. He has been patient and kind and encouraging and powerful. He has turned me around and forced me to look up and has put a burning desire within me to speak the truth and to try to live the truth. I have grown so much, but there are some things I still haven’t really learned. And these are the things that keep me tethered in large and small ways to this world, that make me love myself more than I love Christ. If I could only pray one prayer for my next decade, it would be that I truly learn that these are the things that stunt my sanctification and that grieve the good God who rescued me.

Olney turns out for Youth Sports Open

Olney Youth Sports opened T-Ball and Little League baseball season with an old-fashioned parade down Main Street, followed by a photo op and introduction ceremony for parents and attendees. After all teams were announced, the four teams that make up the T-Ball League opened the season with the Pirates battling the Rangers. Game two included the Cubs against the Braves. By the size of the crowd, it looked like most of Olney turned out for these cute little ball players.
