Man Dressed for a leisurely sunday drive....
Yeah, he's here in my lobby.
So it's another day at work. I actually enjoy working sundays at times. The hotel is usually always less than half-way filled and the phone-ringing stays aslumber. Here's to being the front desk guy during Sunday's.
Last weekend was some-what exhausting. I engaged in a leadership retreat with the Alvin C of C youth group. I love those kids... but not neccesarily in a grandpa-ish sorta way. We had fun doing a hands-on, reflective reenactiment of the Lord's Supper. It was so awesome! It even involved a candle-lit dinner sprawled out on the floor as everyone around the table reclined on pillows and sleeping bags (mock mats.) When we discussed unity, we labeled each other what body part they represent in reference to paul's teachings in 1 Corinthians 12. I think the funniest one is when they first labeled Aaron G. as a germ because of his contageousness.
Today was a good day in worship. I love it when Mr. Wofford leads singing and prayers. I also enjoyed today because I wasn't assigned anything to do. I just got to sit with the church fam and kick back with God for a little. It's good to do that often.
I enjoyed Jerry's lesson today from Romans 9. God leaves an open door for a relationship with him. The free-will created in us gives us the opportunity to close that door. Often we grow confused and angry at God because of a "strain" in the relationship... or lack there of. The door in the relationship will be closed... or open slightly and we'd want to know why God is treating us poorly. God is consistant. Our perspective is limited. We were created to learn through doing. Frustrations come from limiting God or altering what God has laid out in his revelations.
Have you ever wondered what life would be like if we remembered everything God said and did it? Would it be amazing? What if everyone lived the perfect life? Would the perfect life be necessary? What if we attained the desire to read God's word to further our revelation, rather than just completing another Christian duty? Let's ask God what he is willing to reveal to us today. I think it'd be cool... whatever it'll be.
