Well, I am sitting here sipping my lovely warm beverage. It's really quite nice. Green tea with a some herbal mixed in for flavor.
Recently the winds from "paradise" descended and blew at hurricane force. In fact category two. (Which for you who aren't in the "know" is over 100 mph.) We fortunately didn't lose our roof or have a tree fall on our Wee Nook. I was quite worried about the safety of our external selves when I looked out the window at 1:30 AM and noticed that the trees were in fact no longer standing vertical but quite definitively blowing horizontally. And then all the snow melted and the road departed in a raging river. (All this in January after two weeks of 50 below!)
And now it has snowed a bit and the glare ice that hampered all attempted travelers on the roads, has been safely covered.
We are in the middle of convention, and a very good convention it has proved to be thus far.
The one line that I have been really pondering on, or rather has managed to stay with me through the shear volume of word, is are we begging the Lord for ourselves and for each other.
If I would cry out in a serious way for those I have issues with and those I struggle to love, and even those that I love who I know are struggling, I would be walking in a greater measure of love than I have ever before.
I also loved John Jeffreys word about staying on the cross. Loved is maybe not the right verb, more like it witnessed to my spirit. Though, of course the question now is will I do it. Will I stay on the cross and stop trying to perform some "act" that is not in the plan or purpose of the Lord. It really is about obedience.
Hmmm. Time to go read the bible and pray for people. AND NOT think about me!
