"I fall asleep with my friends around me. The only place I know that I feel safe - I'm going to call this home." - Jimmy Eat World
Well, I just got back from small groups and am on the eve of a rather full day, so I'm afraid this will be another short but sweet post. This past weekend was refreshing to say the least. I had the weekend off thanks to my old boss and Colt, Leah, Chris, and Kelli all ventured up here from South Carolina to spend the weekend with me. We stayed up most nights talking, went near Cincinnati on Saturday to spend the day at the Creation museum, attended some of the Daniel Fast prayer meetings, and they came to the Bridge on Sunday, a sunday on which I happened to have the privilege to preach. Though I slept very little those three nights, the visit left my spirits refreshed - something I have been needing as of late.
I was reading a little bit the other day from my old xanga posts, and being swallowed up in the nostalgia of it, it's simply hard to believe sometimes that certain periods of your life once existed. They seem so far removed. I smiled effortlessly at certain memories and winced at others. I always feel a small ache when I look back - either a yearning for those memories, or the pain of regret or loss. Life really is fast.
So soon I'm going to venture onto a monster post. I might do one on the "Blasphemy of Truth" or "My thoughts on Calvinism." Which one should I do? Thoughts on other topics?
Back to the keyboard soon,
Russ
Blasphemy of Truth! I'd love it to be on Calvinism but I talk to you so much about that topic already.
ReplyDeleteI hear ya about the xanga posts. It's amazing how some of the things we used to think were really important turned out to not matter at all.
