Dear Family and Friends,

“Are you mad?” asked one of the confirmands.

I said, “No! Why do you ask?”

He responded by saying, “Do you know what mad means?”

“Are you talking about M.A.D.D., Mother’s Against Drunk Driving?” I asked.

He answered, “No I am talking about Sandra’s sermon.”

Since I was on vacation when Sandra preached and I had not yet read it on our website, I asked what mad meant.

I asked, “What was the point that she conveyed?”

He summarized it saying, “Like the boy who made a difference by giving his lunch to Jesus to feed 5,000 people, we can a make a difference by offering to God whatever we have for His use and glory.”

I hope the confirmand’s question and Sandra’s sermon challenges you.

Are you making a difference for God?

Are you making a difference in the ministry St. Paul’s is doing?

Are you indifferent?

Your opportunities to make a difference are abundant.
