JOHN Good Morning! I’m John Branning the Lead Pastor of Central United Methodist Church. Things are not always the way they appear at first glance. I read a story the other day that told of a crowded day on a golf course. The first tee was loaded with players and spectators. Over the PA system came these words, “Would the man in the green slacks and the white hat respect the tee markers? Please get behind them.” The player stopped his address and looked around in disgust, and then stepped up to the ball again. Again, the PA system announcer said, “Would the man in the green slacks and white hat respect the markers?” The player stopped, turned around and shouted, “Will someone please tell the jerk on the PA system that this is my second shot!” We’re all guilty of sometimes rushing to a conclusion or making a judgment before we have all the facts. We’ve all felt the embarrassment of speaking first and getting the true picture later. Let’s get the whole picture before we speak. We would love to have you be a part of our Central family. Come visit us this week.
