I informed my students Monday that they need to go buy Mere Christianity… I am amazed that Thanksgiving is right around the corner and the 2nd of our three terms will begin after that break… SO, I went down to look for a copy of Mere to put a pic on the class blog (LastBibleClass) and decided to take a picture of my Lewis shelf to post.

C.S.Lewis

I have been called a Lewis nut…

I am.

is hard work… we need to develop the ability of making sure what we want to convey is what is heard… let’s be deliberate enough about our words to make sure that our listener hears what we intend…

I was contemplating God last evening as:

Omnipotent… Wise… Omniscient… Just… Mercy… Love… Everywhere and Everywhen… Without blemish or spot… Precious Saviour… Glorious Lord… Worthy… Blessed… Compassionate… Kind… Gracious… Giver… Prince of Peace… Mighty God… Wonderful… Counselor… Great Saviour… Kind and Loving King who cares deeply for His subjects… You are above and greater in understanding… Reveal-er… never leaver… Faithful…

well, sweet Anna went to hang out with princess Irene of Arlington this weekend and school commitments kept me in the ‘ville so after my shift at Anna’s shop (I went in to let her leave early to beat the DC traffic), I went to a movie… it is a middle east CIA/military/espionage flick with some serious language and violence, not a date nite movie but it was a good movie nonetheless, click here for the trailer for “Body of Lies”… my recommendation: leave the faint of heart at home. The key phrase for me: “nobody is innocent.”

For those of us who are walking a journey of following Jesus, we need to be mindful fo the fact that if that which we are doing is not done in His power, it will wither and die… let us seek to be a discerning people, seeking the guidance of Wisdom in each of our steps on the journey… may our steps be His steps so that they do not wither like grass…

This idea comes from a conversation a friend and I are having about living in wilderness thinking or living in promised land thinking… more later.
