Summary
“A holy life will produce the deepest impression. Lighthouses blow no horns, they only shine.” —D. L. Moody
That’ll preach, right?
This week, we’re praying that our kids are marked by light.
In a year full of profound uncertainty and anxiety, our culture desperately needs to hear the gospel message that Jesus loved us to the point of death so that we might live forever.
That’s the message of truth and the light we were created to shine.
On Pardon the Mess this week, we will consider how what we do in private allows us to shine light in public.
And, as we continue looking at Nehemiah’s life, we will see that mourning what God mourns is a great starting place for sharing the gospel.
“Lighthouses blow no horns, they only shine.”
I’m praying that same thing for our families.

| 0:15.5 | Hey guys, Cynthia, welcome to part of the mess. |
| 0:17.5 | Glad you are with us. |
| 0:18.7 | I'm getting ready to throw you a curveball. |
| 0:20.3 | Are you ready? Here's the loop I'm throwing you this week. We are actually going to be praying |
| 0:25.1 | that our kids are marked by light. And if you're following the prayer journal, you think we are |
| 0:29.0 | praying that they're marked by Thanksgiving. But they need to be switched so that next week |
| 0:33.4 | we're praying they're marked by Thanksgiving during the week of Thanksgiving. And so it is |
| 0:37.6 | flipped in the prayer journal. I'm sure that is my fault completely. So just turn the page if you're |
| 0:43.0 | following the prayer journal. And if you're not following the prayer journal, then this means nothing to |
| 0:46.4 | you. So we will just carry on from there. So today we're praying our kids are marked by the light. |
| 0:51.8 | And it's funny timing because just a few nights ago, my family |
| 0:55.9 | went to a football game and we came home and we turned down our street and it was like pitch |
| 0:59.7 | black. So obvious the electricity was out and eerily dark. I'm not even sure I remember seeing |
| 1:06.2 | our entire street without light. I'm sure it's happened before. But so because my family, well, |
| 1:11.7 | we're kind of idiots. I don't think we really have house keys. We always go through with a garage |
| 1:15.5 | door. And so, you know, your electricity's out. We can't get in. We finally get in the house. And |
| 1:20.1 | it's one of those things. I'm sure you do this too. Even knowing the electricity's out, even knowing |
| 1:25.6 | I'm holding a flashlight in my hand, I continue |
| 1:28.8 | into each room and try to flip the light on. Like just subconsciously, go to the bathroom, |
| 1:33.4 | try to flip the light on, go in my closet. I'm like, oh my goodness, what is wrong with me? |
