I was attacked by a swarm of cicadas while on the mower last night, and in trying to swat them away I knocked my earbud off into the grass. It was expensive, important, and very small. So I spent 20 minutes on my hands and knees until I finally found it!

Do we realize that God values souls equally? He came to seek and save the lost. Like the parable of the lost sheep or the lost coin, we learn the lengths that God will go to find those who are lost and bring them home.

We had a tornado go through very close to us this morning, within about 5 miles, but we received no watch or warning notifications. The National Weather Service is having some updates that prevented us from being told - and I'm thankful that we are safe, but others were not so fortunate.

Ezekiel is called a watchman for the house of Israel - to warn them of God's judgment if they did not turn from their sin. But the prophet was also given a warning - if he did not sound out, and said nothing, their blood would be on his hands. What about us? Are we warning a world lost in sin, or content to stand idly by and say nothing?

In life, we have full circle moments when things you once did are things you find yourself doing again - but as a parent. I had that this week, from t-ball with my son to reading them Calvin & Hobbes together, we had many full circle moments. As I tucked my kids in, my son said, "Dad, I'm just like you."

And he will be - he watches my every move as all our children do. They will immitate the good and the bad. What kinds of things do our actions and habits teach them? And at the end of the day, do we remember the goal is not to make them like us - but to make them like Jesus?
