ONELIFE went well Friday, as did GROUNDZERO. I almost regret the message I gave at ONELIFE, however, since I used up nearly every juicy quote--worthy of a few weeks each--that I have. Lord, grant me, and enable me, to follow it with another strengthening and challenging message. I want to challenge their minds. I want to challenge their hearts. I want to be challenged. And I want us to truly operate in the Spirit of God. And I think these wants are God-authored and God-honoring.

Oh for more time and energy to read! My desire is so strong, yet my time is limited, and when my time allows, my concentration cannot handle the demands, despite my much improved diet, sleeping patterns, and excercise. I long to go through Edwards' Works in entirety--such a helpful passage I found in Vol. I, Notes on the Bible, concerning Romans 1.15-17--and then to move on to Owen, Bunyan, Calvin, Baxter, Schaeffer. Such inspiration to drink in the Spirit and feast on the Word is buried there!

Perhaps God will grant me to accomplish this. Yet, the big question is, "to what end?"

"...they also serve who only stand, and wait."
