This Sunday: If your church has a church security team let the pastor know you are grateful
I am personally grateful for the security team, because for several months I was the security team, setup/teardown team (with occasional volunteers), and cleanup team. I also had to occasionally teach Kids Sunday School, help with A/V, and even preach. That does not make for strong security. We finally got a man who saw the need, got extra training, and now we have a good team in place. (We also have teams for everything else, though I help in several areas still.) I get updates and questions from the team, but I can sit more on Sundays. We certainly live in a dangerous world, but God is good and has His people equipped.

John 10:10, CSB
God wants to give us all good things according to His will, while those who oppose God restrict, mar, and damage what should be good. God offers life and the ability to truly desire what is truly good and to promote goodness.

Do we truly love the Lord our God with all our hearts, souls, minds, and strengths? Maybe I can help with the mind part, at least! This is Daniel M. Klem, apparent poet, reluctant yet passionate Disciple (Peter?), and foolish man attempting to understand theology!
