Your stately Advantage ...focus on our spiritual state

A message from Steve Lauber, Recruitment Director

State, State, State … it seems all I heard in the halls of Lakeside for a year.

* Cross country wins State Title

* Forensics heads to State

* Robotics team advances to State

* Wrestler to State

* Music Solos & Ensembles go to State

* Basketball runner-up at State

* Track & Field wins a 2nd straight State Title

It’s June now and the hallways are quiet. As I sit in my office with a cup of coffee, I’m also thinking of all the cool things the State of Wisconsin has to offer: cheese curds, fish fries, State Fair, House on the Rock, dairy farms, the Brewers, Bucks, and Packers, fishing lakes, Wisconsin Dells, Harley-Davidson, cream puffs. What could ever be better than Wisconsin? Pause . . . Pause . . . Pause ... That’s easy. Heaven.

I’m confident heaven will have cheese curds and cream puffs, fun water rides and beautiful scenery. What’s even better is that in heaven there will be no biting mosquitoes, no stinging hornets, no oppressive humidity, no bone-chilling wind chills.

Jesus makes it clear in his Sermon on the Mount in Matthew chapter 6 that we should not live for earthly treasures, but for treasures in heaven.

... For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. Matthew 6:21

So, sure, we love advancing to State and enjoying the blessings of earthly success, but in hallways and classrooms of Lakeside Lutheran, we are reminded daily that we have even better things waiting for all believers. What a blessing to share the good news of Jesus on a daily basis. And now, I’m going to Culver's for some cheese curds!
