Welcome to the Multi-Contributor Blog of NBCC!

Multi (more-than-one)
Contributor (rye-tur)
Blog (online-diary-for-grown-ups)

We hope that this “Seconds” Blog will be something that becomes a normal part of your online life.
We know that the posts will be informative, encouraging, and worth your time.
We think that you will enjoy hearing the thoughts of the contributors.  The writers will have thoughts on the sermon passage that week, things that are going on in their lives, or whatever is on their mind.

For example, I read Psalm 71:9 this past Sunday to begin the inside services.  It was a verse that was important in John’s sermon.  Psalm 71:9 says, “Do not cast me away when I am old; do not forsake me when my strength is gone.”  I know that the Psalm is a prayer/song in which the person is talking to God and asking Him to take care of him… especially in his older years.  I cannot help but also think that this would be an appropriate thought for an older person to his or her children.  I also happened to read 1 Timothy 5:4 this past week which says, “But if a widow has children or grandchildren, these should learn first of all to put their religion into practice by caring for their own family and so repaying their parents and grandparents, for this is pleasing to God.”  What do those two passages have to do with each other?  In my own mind it means we should take care of our families… this is putting our religion into practice.  We take care of the young ones in our family and the older ones too.  Just a thought I guess in a culture where sometimes the old and frail are put out of sight and out of mind.  I have not yet faced that situation in my own life, but I hope when the time comes that I honor my parents by how I can and what my attitude towards them will be.

Have a great week!
