I’M SO BORED!Nehemiah 1-2

“Many persons lead lives of crushing boredom.”

Elizabeth Peters, The Serpent on the Crown

Boredom is a ______________________.

Boredom is a “___________________ ____________” (Susanna Kaysen).

Many of the pseudo-solutions we invent for our boredom only further

__________________________ our lives.

While Nehemiah bore many burdens in his ministry, he didn’t carry the

________________________ of _________________________.

Nehemiah was willing to carry these ____________________________ burdens

because of his ____________________________ burden.

THE CURE FOR ________________________ IS A _________________________.

YOUNG AT HEARTInner City Ministry is embarking on a new era of serving the underprivileged in

Nashville. A recently purchased headquarters building will provide space for needed expansion and new work with the children of our inner city. You’ll be excited to hear the new plans and see the new facilities as Larry Cantrell brings us up to date at our next “Young at Heart” meeting this Tuesday at noon. Larry is the vice president for development at Inner City and will make a presentation (not a fundraiser) about their plans for the future. Hillsboro partners with Inner City on Monday nights to provide learning centers for these children. You’ll be glad you came. —Randall Pardue
