Today’s Story

Fin M'Coul is more than Grace's seeing eye dog-he's her best friend! But now Tiffany Richter has the big idea to make Fin out to be a dangerous attack dog. And she's got the pictures to prove it.

Meanwhile Brooke's calendar is so full, she's too busy to spend time with her family. What will it take for her to realize how her "on-the-go" lifestyle just might run over the people who love her?

HOW ABOUT YOU…Do you ever find your life so busy with sports, clubs, schoolwork and jobs that you just don't have time for friends? Have you ever been hurt by someone who suddenly became too busy to spend time with you?

CHECK THIS OUT… (Read John 4:1-29) After the woman's encounter with Christ, she stopped what she was doing and went to tell others. Her response shows us the answer to the question of balancing God's and life's priorities. Once we understand who Christ is, it's IMPOSSIBLE to continue life as it is. Our priorities change as we begin the process of a Christ-focused life instead of a self-focused life.
Our God isn't so much impressed with our "water buckets"-with how many teams we're on or clubs we belong to. He's telling us when we care for our family first, it's like caring for Him also.
