So it’s official:  I’m Methodist, again.  The Calvinist in me wants to say it was pre-destined .

Thanksgiving was a blast — a young couple from my parent’s church hosted our family and a few others for dinner.  My parents joined the church about a year ago and it is becoming more and more obvious why they were led there.  Their church is made up of mostly young military families and they happen to be one of the older couples in the church.  They provide a kind of wisdom that only comes from experience.  It’s good to be where you are suppose to be.

Running — I haven’t been doing much of it.  My knee has been giving me problems on and off for a few weeks so I figured I’d rest it for a while.  I’m thinking it’s probably from an imbalance somewhere.  So many different muscles directly and indirectly affect how the knee moves.  When one muscle gets weak, the others compensate which only further exacerbates the problem; the weak muscle gets weaker and the strong muscle gets stronger and the whole body suffers because of it.  Hey, that’s kind of like the Church… but we won’t get into that one today.  Anyway, I hope to get back at it soon.  I’ve only got 3 years to make it to Boston!  Oh, and then there’s this event that my brother and I will be doing in 2010.  You are more than welcome to join us JB…

I haven’t quoted Tozer in a while so here is one that I read recently in a book I’m reading: “Worship must be in spirit and in truth!  It must be the truth of God and the Spirit of God.  When a person, yielding to God and believing the truth of God, is filled with the Spirit of God, even his faintest whisper will be worship.”  I’ve had a lot of moments in faint, whispering worship lately. Sometimes it’s all that one can offer, and when it is, it is enough.
