random thoughts on life and spirituality

We loved you so much that we were delighted to share with you not only the gospel of God but our lives as well, because you had become so dear to us. -Paul's First letter to the Thessalonians (2:8)

Rubber dummies & Panera Hbg

So, the blogging has been a bit slow...perhaps because by the time I get home and get the kid to bed, it's too late and I'm too tired. It seems that there is never enought time to do all I want to do. Which also begs the question, "What had God called me to do?"

D heard something about when we invaded Europe and stormed Normandy. Apparently the military dropped rubber dummies on parachutes so the enemy would be distracted while shooting at them--not the real troops who were landing elsewhere. I wonder how often churches and ministries concentrate their firepower on rubber dummies...or how often I do...I don't want to get to the end of life and have Him say, you did a lot, but you missed whatt I wanted you to do. Discernment is the key issue here--God-given discernment...I'll continue praying for it for all of us...I belive I am where God wants me to be (big issue), but discernment in the little things (what to do today, which projects, etc.) often proves more difficult.

So, I'm in Harrisburg, PA today in my favorite place to eat on the road--Panera. Their coffee is above average, bagels are excellent and the free wifi is stupendous...I have a meeting with other young adult pastors in the AG in a little while..hopefully it'll be good fellowship--enriching our lives and ministries...

btw, the plant is abotu to go to a friend, anyone who wants cuttings, post or email me ASAP!
