Yesterday Crystal and I put the lights on my house--very fun, except it was about 75 degrees and raining.
Getting on the roof was easy. Getting off was another story. :) Tomorrow I am going to an Avalon Christmas concert at my church which is exciting! Other than that, life is normal. I've been reading When I Don't Desire God by John Piper. Two things he said have been going around in my head for awhile now...1st quote:
"What that means for letting the words of Jesus abide in us is that we do not just read or memorize or meditate or listen to the Bible the way we would ponder the wise sayings from ancient teachers. Jesus is alive today, but they aren't. He does not intend for our thinking about his words to replace fellowship with him through his words. He intends for musing on his words to be fellowship with him. We hear the words of Jesus as living words spoken by a living person. It is a spiritually intentional act of relating to a living person when you take his words into your mind. This is what it means for his words to abide in us."
