There is a lot going on with Susan and I right now, more of which I will talk about next week. I guess you could say the "creamed corn" I asked you to pray about has almost been resolved. Thankfully God knows all about it and has opened some amazing doors for our family, I'll say more later.
I talked to one of my friends today who will "remain" silent to protect the guilty and he said that I should put just a paragraph up each day and then more people would read my blog. Isn't that what you said John? Ooops! Cats out of the bag. Well I enjoy posting on my blog and I am excited about some of my newer readers (Hey Larry!) and friends. So I will leave you today with an exciting thought that I recently read in "The Monday Morning Church." by Jerry Cook!
"Christ's own incarnation teaches us that "incarnational Christianity" can only be accomplished by persons, not institutions. This is not to devalue institutions or organizations. It is to say, however, that the person of Jesus can only be clearly communicated through the people in whom he dwells."
It's an interestng thought, you may have even heard it before. But what does it mean to you, and does it mean enough to each us to live our lives that way? If so, what does that look like?
Ponder, have a great week!

To me it means that I want to stay out of the institution....
No seriously, it means that only people can have Christ living in them, the Corporate being we call church exist for these believers to come together to encourage and edify each other and to praise and worship God. But our main focus should be on our day to day walk with God, not on the hour or two we spend together each week...
My 2 cents.
