The Breakfast Club

Though it was a cheeze 80's movie it has now evolved into a saturday morning event! What is more manly than three men eating breakfast on thier day off. In fact saturday morning is a great family time. It has long been a morning for family fellowship even back into my childhood. Not to mention that it is also my Dad's identical twin brothers family morning as well. Which in the past has caused some confusion at our favorite restaurant, Kathies. One morning when we entered the waitress refused to wait on us! She claimed the same man had been in there not half an hour earlier with a different wife and whole different family!
But inspite of the funny occurances I see it as Gods provision at this time. The apostle Paul mentions in Romans how he hopes to visit them and enjoy thier company for a time. This has certianly been a spiritually growing time for our family and I am glad to see it growing even after being away for so long. I believe that truely enjoying one another's company is a gospel grace and a joy to experience.

A wish from a busy life.

I wish that I did not feel the need to be so busy. For sure working 30 hours a week and then trying to raise support on top of that requires a busy life. But so often I catch myself using the busy excuse. When something comes up ahh I am too busy... when I think about sitting down to enjoy a good theological read... ahh too busy! Amongst all this busyness am I really stopping to reflect on what I am busy for?
The busy mindset is our pragmatic and materialistic cultures answer to satisfaction. Often I buy it hook line and sinker. I wish that I would buy it less often. That is my wish! Thanks to God I can come to the meaning of life. I can sit at the feet of the center of reality and be satisfied in God's goodness. Like the Psalmist in 86:11 "Unite my heart to fear your name!" I long for that to be a reality!
