One month ago, my Dad stepped from this life into the next. On March 25, he went to the doctor for a cough. He was diagnosed with lung cancer. The early prognosis was 12-18 months, but his health deteriorated quickly over the following weeks. I wasn’t ready for that, but I’m thankful that he was. I chose these three pictures for a reason. Mom let me copy them from her phone. The first is a picture of Dad at Point Clear. Jason, Amber and I got them a stay at the Grand Hotel for their 50th wedding anniversary. The Friday before Dad passed away, he was able to reach the 55 year mark. The second is a group picture of the “Wright Boys.” Amber and Mom have always been outnumbered. Timothy is the only grandchild, and I don’t think Dad (or I) could handle a girl. Finally, there’s a picture of Dad and I getting ready to go to a USM football game. Timothy went too. Oddly enough, my family gave Dad his shirt as a gift, and he bought mine. He also bought my hat. I inherited my love of football from him. Of course, I inherited more than that from him. I am thankful that Dad wanted me and Jason to be educated, to be successful, and to feel loved. Most of all, he wanted us to know Jesus. I can’t speak to successful, but I do have some diplomas, and I have always felt loved. I miss Dad, but I will see him again because of Jesus. I am thankful to be a child of God, and I am also thankful to have an earthly father like Dad.

Sunday morning we’re going to begin a study on the life of Solomon. Our journey begins with David’s charge to his son and successor. David’s desire to honor God became Solomon’s purpose. Join us as we begin his story. #abbclife #goodjudgment #1chronicles28

Jesus led the disciples with humility. Our human condition makes pride difficult to avoid. Sunday morning we’re going to study Jesus’ words on how to battle pride and live with humility. #abbclife #matthew20 #lastplace

Jeremiah relayed a difficult message to the people of Judah. After those prophecies were fulfilled, he was able to share a message of encouragement and hope framed in the reality of devastating consequences facing the exiled people in Babylon. This week we’re going to dig in to the message of hope under pressure. Join us Sunday at 11:00. #abbclife #underpressure #jeremiah29

This is a great quote that sums up what we celebrate tomorrow morning. Wright said this about the resurrection, “People often flail around in desperation to find an alternative explanation for the empty tomb....” The resurrection is central to our surrender to Jesus. Critics attempting to bypass the reality of Easter are trying to fit Jesus into, as N. T. Wright said, “their comfortable worldview.” We’re celebrating Jesus’ literal, bodily resurrection Sunday morning and the challenges faced by the first witnesses of the empty tomb. Celebrate Easter with me tomorrow morning at 11:00. #abbclife #easter #luke24

Jeremiah had a message from God, but God’s message also applied to the messenger. Believers need to hear this message to walk worthy as they speak boldly. We’ll study that message Sunday morning. #abbclife #underpressure #jeremiah23
