The STormI greet you in the wonderful magnificent name of our
Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Meteorologists are often blamed for bad weather. In
the great state of Kentucky, on a sunny day,, it might rain unexpectedly. In the Windy City, on a cold win-ter day, it might snow unexpectedly for hours. On a clear day in Arizona, a sand storm might appear out of nowhere. The unpredictability of the weather is often received as the lack of skill of the person reporting the weather but in reality, as I’ve learned, it’s the weather. It’s seasonal and it comes in waves, stages and phases. It’s the weather and it’s life.
On the journey of life our young people will encoun-ter storms. It’s possible that at any given moment they will be going into a storm, coming out of a storm, or in the middle ofa storm. Meaning they will be facing or experiencing tumultuous situations for which they feel unprepared to handle. They will be facing unexpected storms for which they feel unequipped to handle. We have all been there.
I’m curious as to the steps you might have taken to find shelter in your storm. I’m curious as to the path you might have taken to successfully navigate in the extreme weather. Did you pray more? Did you talk to friends? Did you seek help? How did you get through your storm? How did you continue to approach each day while in your storm? Did you do all of the above? I know I did!
In the Kentucky rain, I carried an umbrella. In the bitter winter of the Windy City, I wore multiple layers of clothing. In the sand storms of Arizona, I learned to trust my GPS and pull over. On this journey I have learned that I will be tested. I will encounter difficulty and I will face the unexpected. I imagine we will all have a bad experience. I have learned that I don’t need to go through the storm alone. I can pray with oth-ers, talk with others and call for help as the situation
demands. But most of all I have learned to believe the words “I will never leave you nor forsake you.”
It is my prayer that as they encounter the storms of life, that our young people will gain strength from our victories, reach out for support and carry with them the promise of the Creator to be with them always. We will not be forsaken; no matter the forecast, no matter the storm, no matter the situation.
Best,Jeremy Gillett

Hope is wishing something wouldhappen, faith is believing something will happen,
and courage is making something happen.—Anonymous
Sometimes life throws us curveballs. Other times we just roll with the punches. But it always takes a lot of strength to make changes in our lives or in our world. This year for our Faith in Film series we want to share stories of people who, either through circumstance or conscious
decision-making, created huge changes by choosing to “Make Something Happen!”
July 10 Hidden Figures (2016)PG, 2 hr 7 min
Three brilliant African-American women at NASA -- Katherine Johnson, Dorothy Vaughan and Mary Jackson -- serve as the brains behind one of the greatest opera-tions in history: the launch of astronaut John Glenn into orbit, a stunning achieve-ment that restored the nation’s confidence,
turned around the Space Race and galvanized the world.
