This time of year my email inbox gets flooded with holiday tips.
Unless they involve tips to get free cookies or pie, I generally delete them without even opening them.
However, I got one the other day from strategy consultant Lisa McLeod that caught my attention. She writes a weekly column, usually about success in business, but sometimes she writes about more general topics, like her most recent one: “Tips for a Horrible Holiday.”

Recently, I listened to an eight-episode podcast (like an internet radio show) called “Oh Dear God.”
Done by two young, thirtysomething women, they both grew up in the Christian faith.
Today they like some of Christianity, but not all of it. Same goes for their feelings about the church.
The women met at camp — they love church camp — and now they’re comedians who live in Los Angeles.

Bro. Matt’s sermon, “The Shepherd King,” came from Ezekiel 34:11-16 and encouraged us to ask ourselves who we look to for rule: ourselves, others, or Jesus? Prior to the message, Mrs. Mills sang a beautiful special entitled, “Consider the Lilies.”
Thanks to all those who made our annual Community Thanksgiving Service a success. It was a wonderful time of worship and fellowship.
