Musings

10:33am

Got up at 6:00am this beautiful Saturday morning. Read a bit out of 1 Chronicles, did some praying, roasted some green coffee bean, made some coffee, started some laundry, put on some steel-cut oats, got Kathy up, ate the oats (with almonds, raisins, cinnamon, brown sugar, and a bit of half 'n' half), went for a jog (until mother-nature called), came home and fixed a leak on Caleb's toilet, took a shower, brewed up some fresh Sumatran decaf, read a bit of Dave Black online, and finally sat down here to write something. Kathy, by-the-way, is cooking up some bacon, biscuits, eggs, and gravy for "second breakfasts" (Bilbo would certainly approve)!

While we jogged, we talked about what we are going to discuss tomorrow in our service: How to hone our focus on the Kingdom of God. If it's sin, we need to get it out of our lives. If it is part of the world system and we are obsessing on it, we need to get it out of our lives. If it is okay but hinders our following the Lord, we need to get it out of our lives (some things are legal but not profitable).

We want our Body of Christ to be a light on a hill, to be salt to the world, to shine in the darkness.
