Last Sunday was test day at Palm Valley.  We graded ourselves as a family in areas such as Communication, Common Faith, Responsibility, and many more.  If you haven’t done so, take the time and take the test.  The hard part was that we weren’t allowed to mark a “5.”  To be honest there were some areas I scored pretty good, but there were also some areas that were not so good.  These areas had been left unmanaged.  Rick likened the poor scores as that of a blinking light on a dash board.  His challenge was to take immediate action in correcting the problem.  

As he closed the message he asked for a show of hands of people who are in “only God” situations in their families. Situations where only God could change the outcome.  Then, he asked for those who were in an “only God” situation and had seen God miraculously come through in the past to raise their hands and join in faith for those who were needing God’s help.  I walked away with hope that as I continue to be faithful to God, and invest my time and energy in my family, that God will help me be the best I can for my family.
