A few months after their final child left home for college, a man’s 

wife was resting on the couch while her head was on his lap. He

without your glasses you look like the same beautiful young woman 

I married years ago.” “Honey,” she replied with a smile, “without 

my glasses you still look pretty good too.”  

Greeting and Salutations ~ 1 Peter ~ Chad Fatula Sermon ~ PM ~ 2/10/13

Have you ever felt left out because of your Christianity? A friend’s dirty joke or conversation, a science class that teaches evolution, or showing integrity at work when others chose not to are all common ways we are left out. A Christian can live courageously in a world that doesn’t want them because God does!
