Leftovers!

In my not so humble opinion, Wednesday night's "leftovers" were quite "tasty!" In the first place, I really appreciated your being present; it meant more to me than mere words can express. To be sure, I trust that the time was well-spent for each of you. Our question was not an easy one but you did an incredible job of sharing your thoughts, ideas, and opinions! To be honest, I really do not think finding the perfect answer is nearly as important (or profitable) as is searching for it. Hopefully, we will all be like Paul and not only have enough sense to know that we have not yet "attained to it," but also enough courage to press on toward the goal. I really am trusting that you will continue pressing on with me, as we seek to know Him, whom to know is eternal life.

I thought you would be interested in this summary of our time together, that a member of the group sent to me via email: I left with some confusion (but what's new?) about soaring spiritually. I felt that some of us were describing our position in Christ, and some of us were talking about soaring emotionally. After sorting through it, I decided that the best definition I can grasp of the abundant life is walking in the Spirit, wherever He wants to take me. I definitely don't think that means I have to live like a martyr all the time, nor will I soar to the heights all the time. Life on this earth is just not that way.

Feel free to offer your summary, as I would love to hear it!

Blessings,
Your Pastor
