Ever seen an old building that has lost its shine and wondered why someone doesn’t do something about it?

One reason few people do something about it is because starting from scratch is way easier than working with something that has already tried other purposes.
Ever had a season where it seems one bad thing after another keeps happening?

It can get to a point where you’re afraid to even answer the phone because you think it will be more bad news.
Did anyone tell you about something great that happened to them this week?

How did you respond?
One of my favorite things is when I come home from work or a trip and my kids scream with excitement and run to give me a hug.

Man, I pray that lasts forever!
Ever had one of those moments where you know it couldn’t have been a coincidence?

When was the last time you received bad news? After you received the bad news what did you do?

What was the last fun thing you did with your spouse?

It reminded me that we each have a part to play in the grand story God is telling. History is really His-story. This includes the history of the world and your own personal history.
