As part of the June Sermon series and our "SUMMER SMARTS" here at LCC, we challenged everyone to commit to reading the book of Proverbs during the month of June. I am excited to share that nearly 80 families signed up to share in this fantastic book of the Bible. I know that several folks didn't actually sign their name for prayer and accountability, but are still planning to read. I also received an e-mail from someone in Oklahoma who listened to the sermon online and wanted to be added to the list, PTL! It is my intention to post a couple times a week from my reading in the book of Proverbs. I hope if you are reading this post, you will also join us as we read the book of Proverbs during the month of June.
In closing, I wanted to share this e-mail I received from Mel & Landa Conover:
Just wanted you to know that Melvin is “THRILLED” with Proverbs. We are reading from The Message and 3:7 says: "Don’t assume that you know it all." "Oh that’s not what it says", he said. Then he read it again, "Don’t assume you know it all, Landa." He thought that was SO funny. Then he got to 3:24: "You’ll take afternoon naps without worry." Of course, he highlighted that, too, and off to bed he went!! Proverbs will look like we smashed a lemon between the pages before we’re done.
