The End

Source:  Mod Resdes Prints

Dear Friends and Readers,

It’s not just the end of my time at Lads to Leaders for this year,  I’m afraid it’s also the end of this blog.  I feel bad for just blurting it out like this, but the deadline for L2L Mass Media Stuff feels like a good time for me to wrap things up.


“Tell us, when will these things be, and what will be
the sign of... the end... ?”
 
---Matthew 5:24
 (taken way out of context, sorry,
but I could not resist).

I’ve been blogging for a whole year, and have LOVED it, but "all good things come to an end" and for Set My Mind as a blog, the end is now.

I am going to spend the five hours a month that I spent writing posts on my blog to write my sermon,  and practice my song leading skills for the big convention.  I am excited because it will be my first convention, and I have never preached a sermon to a bunch of adults, only kids in Home School Chapel on Thursdays. 

Thank you all so much for following my blog for however long you have read my stuff!  

As my Grandma always says, "May the LORD Bless you always!"

A soldier of Christ,

Blaine Chapman

ONE Body




"There is one body and one Spirit,
just as also you were called in one hope of your calling. 
one Lord, one Faith, one Baptism, one God,
and Father of all who is
over all and through all and in all. "

-Ephesians 4:5

My memory verse this week is about ONE BODY.  The body of Christ is the Church.  Everyone  in the church is a part of the body.  When something bad happens to one person in our church, everybody is sad, and everybody wants to help.  One part is hurt, and the other parts should help.  Just like when I dropped the heavy wrench on my foot yesterday.  All of me stopped and reached for my hurting foot.  That is how God wants us to be with our church friends, and all of our friends.  It makes sense, and that is how there is ONE BODY.
