The Surge Blog

my heart overflows with a good theme...

The Good ~Anna Mari Green

A horrific murder-suicide took place across  the street from my house in September. I didn't hear a thing.  Gunshots. A  struggle. More gunshots. Nothing. I have wrestled with what I could  have done. I  wish I could have helped. I've wondered what happens that  pushes a man to  kill his wife while she slept and then their two boys that he  adored. But never have I wondered if God is good.  I know that it sounds weird.  But I haven't. 

Where is the good in three lives lost so violently at the hands of someone  they knew and trusted? Coverage of the signs of depression in  people and warning  signs that could help someone else avoid this tragedy. There's a good. Neighbors  out talking to each other - another good. Taking  inventory of what is really  important, yet another.

Could God have stopped this? Most certainly, He could do that. Do I wish He would have? Resoundingly, yes. But He did not, so we  grieve. We get up each day hoping to feel the sting a little less. We heal. We  hope. We love God with all our hearts, souls, and minds. We remind ourselves to love our neighbors as ourselves because you never know what they are going through that you might be able to help with.

Go. Love your neighbor. Love them like you want to be loved.

Hello Surgeons!

Hope you are doing well!

We are continuing our Armor All series, this week being on the Shoes of Readiness, the Gospel of Peace.

These shoes have excellent arch support and they go with anything, even after Labor Day. Band is bringing, "These Boots are Made for Walkin' " - Nancy Sinatra.

If you're visiting, please don't forget to fill out a connection card, we'd love to stay connected with you!

We had a wonderful evening at SAW last night... one of the artists, Becky Warren, winner of a national song competition brought some wonderful and heartfelt music to the Barn. It was a great concert.

Facebook has changed the way it displays information, so to be sure to see all of our facebook data, go to the Surge page and click next the Messages button, the drop down menu will show "Add to Interest List" and you'll be sure to see our messages when they send.

Save the date, our Christmas party and concert will be happening on Dec 15 at the Barn, it's going to be a great evening... bring family, friends, co-workers, rescue dogs, everyone is welcome.

Continuing our Armor All series next week with the Shield of Faith!

Have a great week!

Good morning Surgeons!

We're continuing our Armor of God series... this week is featuring the Breastplate of Righteousness.  This topic is much more interesting that the Socks of Perserverance, or the Long Pants of Gentle Kindness.

Special music today is from the Dave Matthews Band, Funny the Way it is.

Next week on Saturday night, a free concert at the Barn, warm up is at 7pm, with main acts starting at 8 and 9.  Becky Warren and Bill Mulroney - it promises to be a lovely evening.

Small Groups are launching like crazy!  We have a couple of groups in Falls Church and one in Chantilly that have launched in recent weeks - these are amazing... and check out the website for more information.

Next week, we're continuing our Armor of God series with The Shoes of the Gospel of Peace... going to be a great message, don't miss it!

Thanks,
The Surge
