Ok, so it has been a long time since I posted last. First it was I wassick, then it was I was busy, then it was I just forgot. Ooops. Well, Iwill try to post more often after today.
Memorial Day weekendwas a great time. We put together a set of skits for "The Gong Show" atour annual church Memorial Day picnic. I acted as the stage directorand did a couple of acts (two of which were gonged). We pulled ourPastor's wife up as a judge and the Pastor as our host for the show(they did not know this ahead of time). It was a riot. Everyone had agreat day, we laughed, cried (from laughing too much), fell out of ourchairs (whether that was from too much food or too much laughter I amnot sure), and just had a great time. I am sure we will be doing moreof this in the future.
Talk about a blast from the past. Everget an unexpected email from someone you used to talk to years ago butlost track of? Well, I just did today. A friend I had met online someyears ago emailed me through my web site of all things! And hear Ithought no one read my site, and that I was just doing this for fun.Guess I need to update the site more, hmmmm Michele?
Lastly,before I turn in for the night (still not sure what I turn into, but Ido it every night), I have been reading the Book Experiencing God thatwe are going over in Foundations for Living (Sunday School). I am a bitbehind (we just started ch 17 and just finished 7) but trying to catchup. Chapter 7 asked a very hard question. It asked, "Can you describeyour relationship with God by sincerely saying, 'I love You with all myheart'?" The entire chapter was about how our love relationship withGod is the MOST important thing in our lives. I know we "Christians"know that, but do we really "know" that?
I have been reallychallenged in discussions with my accountability partner and in churchlately about where God's position is in my life. If I were to take mywaking hours (about 20 avg) and determine how many of them I spendalone with God, the number is pathetically small. If I only spent thatamount of time with my wife (if I had one) we would not have much of arelationship. If I was honest, and took the thing I spend most of mytime doing (excluding work) as my god, then my god would be me. Most ofmy leisure time is about what I want to do, and my entertainment, andmy pleasure, but is that how it is suppose to be? Consider thisyourself (anyone else that may be reading this). If your "god" is whatyou spend most of your time doing, what is your "god"?
