     I missed church last Sunday.  The reason I missed church is because I attended the funeral service for Trooper Paul Richey.  Thank you Pastor Greg Wolters for filling the pulpit for me.  I did not know Tpr. Richey.  But I did get an understanding of the kind of man he was.  A fellow trooper described him as ‘unselfish in a selfish world’. 

     I’ve been to far too many police funerals over the years.  Each is the same…part of me wants to be there to console others, part of me wants to be as far away as possible.  Maybe this is because police funerals make it all too clear that the next could be a close friend or even my own.

     Thanks to all who have called, sent emails, or texts to encourage me in recent days.

     Here are some links to news stories covering the funeral:

     Testimony to the Lord Jesus Christ was given at the service.  I was so refreshed to hear this.  There are many Scripture applications that could be made from this tragedy.  At this time its still a little too close to home for me to share much.  What I will share is that we are so loved by Jesus and that He is with always with us, especially during the hard times in life.

     Celebrity status has its ups and downs.  Everything that a celebrity does is made known to the public.  Tiger Woods is a familiar household name.  Even if  not a follower of Mr. Wood’s victories on the golf course  most people are now familiar with his shortcomings off the green. 

     In this video from Fox News Sunday, Brit Hume shares some incredible advice for Mr. Woods.  Watch…

     Suppose Mr. Woods were to take up Mr. Hume’s advise and walk into our church some Sunday.  Two things to consider: 1) How would you interact with Mr. Woods?  2) If you were Mr. Woods, how would you want to be interacted with during your visit?  Think about it.
