First off, thanks for the link to my blog from Sarah Jo (http://cupofjo.blogspot.com), an old friend from me college days at LeTourneau. Mysteriously, however, this link has compelled me to update my blog again, lest someone follow the link and take me for a lazy bum that never updates.
I think I wasted an opportunity this morning. I had been thinking last night about whether or not to go to a men's breakfast and discipleship meeting at 6:00 this morning (as it said in the church bulletin last week.) After a few minutes of waffling at 5:15 this morning, I finally deceided to go, remembering a Bible verse that (poorly paraphrased, probably) said "You will find Me, if you seek Me with all your heart", which I took to include getting up way too early on a Saturday. I got to the church at 6, and discovered that no one ws there! After waiting until 6:15, and thinking about what God's purpose might be in leading me to an empty church parking lot early on a Saturday, I was getting ready to leave when a car finally pulled up with a gent telling me that the meeting was going to start at 7, and that he was there to setup. Here is the mistake: I left after we spoke for a minute to go home and do laundry, but I didn't return at 7. I went with parents into the DC suberbs all morning and afternoon (free breakfast, plus I found a copy of the board game "Risk 2110"!), and have gotten home now (obviously,) but I still don't feel right about not waiting or returning to the church. Did I miss an opportunity to learn/grow? Did I fail to seek "with all my heart"?
Anyhow, not too much I can do about it now... I might take a nap for awhile.
