Lectionary: Fourth Sunday of Easter

Lectionary Passages

Acts 9:36-43
Psalm 23
Revelation 7:9-17
John 10:22-30

For whomever may check in to see what the weekly passages are, I'm sorry I didn't get them up sooner. I have been distracted with life's happenings. I got a second shift job last week in a warehouse that manufactures nutrition bars. I have been training (and doing) on weighing different liquids which get poured into a mixer that basically mixes nutrition bar dough. The job is physically demanding, but it is an example of God answering to our needs and not necessarily the way we want our needs to be met (at least in my case).
On top of that, there have been other "distractions." My wife is pregnant with our second child and I've been dealing with my former employer challenging my unemployment benefits. I won't go into much detail, but I appreciate any thoughts or prayers from anyone who may read this. I am doing my best to keep my spirits up in trying times. Sometimes I succeed at this but sometimes I can't help but feel a bit down.
Ultimately I have hope for the future and hope that I can achieve what God has set before me. So in case anyone was wondering why the updates have been sporadic, I hope you now have a better understanding of why it has been that way.

God bless,

Jason
