EPIC!!! Judah's first time riding a bike with no training wheels!!!

Recess: rideshare parking lot. Everyone working on

Recess: rideshare parking lot. Everyone working on their new skills. Judah trying to master the balance bike so he can ride a real bike. Kav working learning his new skateboard (birthday gift). Karis learning to peddle a trike.

And since people are staying home, the riseshare lot has plenty of room.

Sometimes I feel like I’m surrounded by a counci

Sometimes I feel like I’m surrounded by a council of critics, but it's in my own mind.⁣
.⁣
In my imagination they chuck stones of judgment that pound my spirit and leave me crippled.⁣
.⁣
“You snapped at the kids? You’re a bad mom.” ⁣
.⁣
“You grumbled while cooking dinner? You are a selfish person.” ⁣
.⁣
A lying voice that brands my identity with judgement.⁣
.⁣
But Jesus is kinder than we are to ourselves sometimes.⁣
.⁣
Grace over judgment is exactly what Jesus taught the religious leaders when they threw a woman caught in adultery at his feet.⁣
.⁣
They wanted to trap Jesus so they could accuse him of breaking the Law of Moses.⁣
.⁣
But Jesus turned them toward grace instead of judgment.⁣
.⁣
He wrote in the sand and then spoke: “Let the one who is without sin cast the first stone.”⁣
.⁣
And there was silence. Then one by one they walked away, starting with the oldest.⁣
.⁣
One. By. One. They all left.⁣
.⁣
Jesus then asked the woman, “Where are they? Did no one condemn you?” (v. 10).⁣
.⁣
And she responded in faith by calling Jesus “Lord” (v. 11).⁣
.⁣
So, he offered her grace, not judgment.⁣
.⁣
He called her to turn from her sin and follow God: “I do not condemn you, either. Go. From now on, sin no more” (v. 11).⁣
.⁣
We all need grace. The kind of grace that calls us to turn from our sin and follow him.⁣
.⁣
Whether a saint like Mother Theresa, or a sinner like the adulterous woman, each of us has reasons for stones to be tossed.⁣
.⁣
Jesus’s grace invites us to a better way.⁣
.⁣
He invites us to turn from our sin and follow him.⁣
.⁣
.⁣
.⁣
REFLECT: Is there anything in your life that you feel guilty for? Turn from your sin and follow him—his grace is bigger than any sin. ⁣

1 but Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.2 At dawn he appeared again in the temple courts, where all the people gathered around him, and he sat down to teach them. 3 The teachers of the law and the Pharisees brought in a woman caught in adultery. They made her stand before the group 4 and said to Jesus, “Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery. 5 In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women. Now what do you say?” 6 They were using this question as a trap, in order to have a basis for accusing him.But Jesus bent down and started to write on the ground with his finger. 7 When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, “Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.” 8 Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground.9 At this, those who heard began to go away one at a time, the older ones first, until only Jesus was left, with the woman still standing there. 10 Jesus straightened up and asked her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?”11 “No one, sir,” she said.“Then neither do I condemn you,” Jesus declared. “Go now and leave your life of sin.”⁣
