Hodgepodge...

This will be maybe my most jumbled post yet. I'm just gonna put down some thoughts; trying to get the writing juices flowing before I journal about a Galatians passage for my theology class. The passage is Galatians 3:16-4:6. It's about God's faithfulness to His promises (i.e. Abrahamic), it's about the Mosaic covenant's preservation of the Jewish people, it's about Jews and Gentiles being one through adoption in Christ, it's about Jesus being the fulfillment of God's plan. Mostly it's about Jesus. How does that affect life and ministry? I need to turn that into I think about a half-page or so. I am listening to Flyleaf right now, noting that their new album is excellent. Gotta love a band rockin hard and giving glory to God. If you get the chance, take a listen to Circle and Arise, both are great tunes. Maybe I'll put one of em on this here page. I'm also thinking about all the good people I know. Facebook constantly reminds me that there are a lot of amazing people that I have crossed paths with, and I wish I could keep in touch with them all, but alas the days are short. I'm thinking even more specifically of the group of guys from my Bible study senior year of college. What a great group of guys, and we've gone on different paths; some starting families or careers or both or neither. To those I haven't kept in touch with- I hope God is still provoking you, I hope you are still seeking after Him. Without Him life is meaningless and empty, it is chasing after unsatisfying accomplishment after unsatisfying accomplishment. I am sorry that I did not teach and lead better at the time, but I trust God used those hours to draw us to Him. They are fond and humbling memories. I honestly don't know if I will ever sit around another table with better men; character and characters gathered on those Monday nights. To my future wife (I'm trusting God in this area), I hope I find you soon, I have no idea whether or not I've met you. I hope God is developing patience, mercy, and grace within you, you will need them. Soon I will need sleep, as I will need some strength to serve local pastors at the Spurgeon Fellowship tomorrow. But for now I write, and with minimal flair. Goodnight and good luck.
