Dear St. Peter members,

What do you miss the most? I am sure there are some things that before you used to take for granted and not pay much attention to. But now. To be able to do that again would be just great.

What do you not miss at all? I bet there are a few things you could never do again and that would be just fine with you. The varied levels of restrictions have made you glad to not have to do it.

Over the years in talking with couples before they get married, the question that seemed to always work the best had two parts: What do you want to make sure you do in your marriage that you had in your family growing up? And then, what things do you want to leave behind as you marry—things you grew up doing but you do not want to keep doing?

When we are again able to meet in larger groups, these questions might serve as an outline for a discussion at St Peter. New pastor, corona virus upset, and moving forward, what needs to be left behind and what do we want to make sure continues on.

You might think about that a bit now.

But back to missing things. I do not dance. I do not like to dance. But when I read a verse in Psalm 149 I realized that I miss people going to dances. Why? I don’t go to dances. But I miss it.

“Let them praise his name with dancing, making melody to him with tambourine and lyre! (Ps. 149:3)

God’s grace to you day by day as we all deal with the changes and uncertainties of “opening up again.”

--Pastor Dan
