Quick Update

I've recently finished Elisabeth Elliot's God's Guidance: A Slow and Certain Light, and Garry Friesen's Decision-Making and the Will of God. The former was quite warm, and filled with experience. The latter was like a steamroller--528 pages that, strangely, read quite quickly.

I'm nearly convinced of Friesen's 'Way of Wisdom,' but not just yet. It seems too academic to me--almost completely non-relational. Who wants a relationship with a book?

I've also, I'm a bit ashamed to admit, moved back to Presque Isle for a while. I must admit it's nice to have a shelf for my books and a closet for my clothes. I've been living out of my car for about 2 months now, and it's nice to 'land.'

It's made me think a lot, though, about Matthew 8:20 and such verses. I, at least, have romanticized the life of the apostles. "It's not easy," he seems to say, "I am homeless, you know." It's been a real test of faith.

I'm about to watch Game 7 of the ALCS World Series. I care nothing about baseball. I may watch a movie at the same time. Regardless, one thing's for sure: I'm gettin' me some kettle corn.

A big part of me misses the pace and demands of youth pastoring. And, I do miss them terribly. But I didn't belong there. It's that simple.

Here's to the next step...

some (restful) thoughts.
