Leonard Sweet tells the story of overhearing a student complaining to another about her new appointment from the bishop as unsuited to her gifts, only to hear the other student say, “You know, the world’s a    better place because Michelangelo didn’t say, ‘I don’t do ceilings.’ “   Sweet went on to say that if you and I are going to be faithful to the ministry God is calling us to, then we had better understand that, too.

 Think about how the world is a better place…

•   because a German monk named Martin Luther didn’t say, “I don’t do doors.”
•   because a cleric   named John Wesley didn’t say, “I don’t do preaching in fields.”
•   because Moses didn’t say, “I don’t do Pharaohs or mass migrations.”
•   because Noah didn’t say, “I don’t do arks and animals.”
•   because Rahab didn’t say, “I don’t do enemy spies.”
•   because Ruth didn’t say, “I don’t do mothers-in-law.”
•   because Samuel didn’t say, “I don’t do mornings.”
•   because David didn’t say, “I don’t do giants.”
•   because Peter didn’t say, “I don’t do Gentiles.”
•   because John didn’t say, “I don’t do deserts.”
•   because Mary didn’t say, “I don’t do virgin births.”
•   because Paul didn’t say, “I don’t do correspondence.”
•   because Mary Magdalene didn’t say, “I don’t do feet.”
•   because Jesus didn’t say, “I don’t do crosses.”

 Lent begins on Ash Wednesday February 17th. 

Ask yourself how our church and community, our world, would be different if you and I give up the words, “I don’t do …” for Lent. 

 Shiloh Youth have been blessed to be in partnership with Breath of Life UMC for the last 2 years!  The people at this church have taught us all so much about faith  and perseverance.  We are humbled to be a part of their family.

 Recently Dick and Carole Jenkins have started a sewing and quilting ministry with the young people at Breath of Life!  Amazing! 

 Pastor John Jones and his wife Flo, along with the entire congregation, have invited us to be their guests for lunch on Feb 28th at 2:30.  It would be wonderful to have as many people from Shiloh as possible attend this event.  You will be blessed!    

 Please RSVP to Sherry Parker by Feb 14 if you plan to attend.  We can carpool from the church.
