Still wading through hundreds of emails received while I was gone. Many I just delete. Some I stop and read.
This is one sent to my computer by Max Lucado on February 10:
CHOOSING WHAT IS MORE IMPORTANT
"I remember receiving an invitation to speak at a church in the Midwest. I turned it down. If I’d gone, I would have had the attention of a great number of people for an hour. The opportunity to speak about Jesus to some people who didn’t know him.
"Is a Tuesday evening at home with three children and a spouse more important than preaching to an audience? I decided to make a list of what I’d lose by saying no to my family one night. I wouldn’t have been there to hold Andrea when her finger got slammed in the door. I wouldn’t have been there to answer Jenna’s question: 'Daddy what’s a handicapped person?' I would have missed Jenna telling the story of Jesus on the cross during our family devotional.
"There are a hundred speakers who could have addressed that crowd, but my girls have just one daddy! I think I made the right choice."
