Prayer (3 of 7)
Series: Ordering Our Days

Colossians 1:9-14
Like all of you are there places I enjoy going and things I enjoy doing.

Most of us would say, ''I'd much rather go to a party than I had a funeral any day of the week and twice on Sundays.'' I would much rather think about where I am going to eat before the game on Friday night at the Concrete Palace with some of you Crazies than entertain thoughts about my morality or anyone else's.
It would seem just a little bit odd and slightly creepy to hear someone say that it is better to go to a funeral home than it is to a party of football game. ''What kind of sick puppy would tell you it is better to think about your last day on earth, the day of your death, rather than think about the da ...
