Kerr's Korner
Many Factors
By John Kerr
Wayne and I bowled on the same team last season. We were discussing some of the finer points of bowling the other day as we are hoping to make some improvements for next season. There are many factors involved in bowling. It is more than just rolling a ball down a lane and hoping a lot of pins fall. Here are a few things we considered: where you stand, what arrow you throw the ball over, how hard of a surface you have on the ball, how much oil is on the alley and what pattern they have applied, the speed you put on the ball, the amount of hook you give the ball, make sure you keep your shoulders straight, don’t drop your shoulder, keep your eye on your mark and not the pins, and be aware of how tired you are. How in the world can you remember all these factors all the time?!?!
I thought about the rather lengthy list of things Peter admonishes to add to your faith, II Peter 1: 5For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; 6and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; 7and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love.
Of course I considered the list of the fruit of the Spirit in Galatians 5: 22But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23gentleness and self–control. Against such things there is no law.
How can a person possibly keep track of so many factors involved in Christianity? We need to be aware of them and look intently into the perfect law that gives freedom. Realistically these need to become a routine part of our everyday lives so that we don’t have to make a checklist of all of these (and more) that we check off every day. I Corinthians 11: 1Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ

Wayne's Wacky Words
Gulch - a ravine. Gulch mulch probably wouldn't stick around very long.
