Back from Some Sabbath Time

Kerry and I spent last week travel down the Smith River, up the Oregon Coast and visiting with our youngest son Micah and his new wife Stephanie. We walked the beach, swam in rivers, talked, prayed and read God's Word. It is good to be reminded that God is the one who does the work.

I have spent a lot of time thinking about what it would look like to have God as the constant center of my life. That is the life of one who has repented and entered the kingdom. It is all about giving up the illusion of our control and focusing on entering into God's initiative, providence and living in faithful obedience.

God I pray my friends and family find that You are their center through Jesus Christ. Without Jesus serving as our center we are runaway planets drifting away for God and in constant conflict with all those around us.
