Well, since it is Member Anniversary Celebration Sunday, I'm not going to use the Gospel text for the sermon Sunday. The other New Testament reading is Philippians 3:4b-14 - which I hope will be perfect for such a lovely occasion. It ends with - "Forgetting what lies behind and straining froward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the heavenly call of God in Christ Jesus." It fits the "road trip" theme better, too.

I'm back on the Road Trip with you! Yours is SO much more enjoyable than the kind we had with a GPS "lady" that started sounded annoyed when she had to keep saying "recalculating" (after we would turn too soon or not in the direction she had stated!) It occurs to me that if she had been on our Lenten Road Trip, she probably would be saying "Repent"!
And by the way, they have those U-turns in Houston, too. It must be a Texas thing!
Can't wait to hear that text turned into a sermon on Sunday--I think you will be speaking to a packed house! YEA!
