Pastor Gary had a great sermon last week. He said there are 3 little words that can be very powerful for us to remember, I don't know. Mt first thought was I love you, but Gary was going somewhere else on this day.
Gary warned us about the overabundance of know-it-all's in our world, and we might fall into this mentality. Suddenly, in order to keep up, we are passing judgement and throwing out opinions as if we are the experts. It's better to step back and admit you don't know why this or that occurred.
Gary mentioned that at funerals it's okay to observe that we don't know what God is up to by taking this person. I've thought alot about this in the past week. On one hand, we want our Pastor to have all the answers. On the other hand, I would appreciate the truthful "I don't know" and the simple "I'm sorry this happened" approach.
