Everyone has a bucket list. You know, a list of items you want to do or accomplish before you “kick the bucket”. Whether you have written these things down or have just said to a friend “I would like to do ____ before I die”, all of us have a bucket list.
I Love the Local Church...
I love the local church because it is a place where I can be real. A place where I can be healed. A place where I can grow. A place where I can lead. Don't get me wrong, the local church isn't made up of saints, but it is (hopefully) made up of people who have decided to follow Jesus, and in following Jesus, they start to look and act more like him as they grow.
