Spring break is over :-( Back to work. So often students bemoan the first day back from an extended break. I certainly understand how they are feeling, but I good naturedly remind them that if spring break never ended then the fourth quarter would never begin. If the fourth quarter never began, then the fourth quarter would never end. If the fourth quarter never ended, then summer break would never arrive. So we should be happy that spring break is over. (Most often this is met with a roll of the eyes and a sarcastic, "Yeah, right.")
The blog entry on March 21 focused on intercessory prayer. A line from Blackaby's book I did not include in that day's entry was, "we long for Pentecost in our lives and churches, but there is no Pentecost without Gethsemane and a cross." Without a passionate, mature prayer life great things from God in a Christian's livf will be the rare exception, not the rule.
I write this blog because:
1. I enjoy writing.
2. It keeps me consistent in my morning Bible/quiet time.
BUT. . .
It has become a substitute for a sustained, meaningful prayer time.
Prayer request- That I will find the balance between the spiritual disciplines I enjoy and those that are just plain, ol' hard work.
