Just Thinking

As I look back at the last decade or so, there is nothing more strikingly noticeable than the effect of the person and the power and presence of Jesus Christ on and in my life. To me, at least... I look at the refining fire of Christ in how it did not lay unbearable guilt upon me in the recognition of my own sins, but (super)naturally exposed them along with the "why", and the "way out" so that understanding from His point of view could be seen. Be it idolatry, gluttony, alcohol abuse, lust, selfishness, the list goes on, each & every incident was easily traced to a step not in line with His purposes.

Not only that, but His presence on the scene in my life has served as a "sin alarm system" of sorts. Hitting the snooze bar has become less and less an option, and waking up and walking His way has become the powerful way to live in integrity, closest to Him and loving life to the fullest. There is nothing greater thatn the love of the Lord.

"Bless the Lord, O my Soul, and al lthat is within me, bless His Holy name...

Bless the Lord O my soul, and forget not all His benefits..." from Psalm 103

So, I wish to thank all of you for your support and prayers over the years (you know who you are!) and I am excited to see just what the Lord has in store for all of us in days to come. Mostly, thank you Jesus for your power, which guides us in the way that is awesome and indescribably rich. Blessings...
