At Gordon-Conwell

After a long drive on Sunday, I have now completed the first two days of classes. There are six students this year. This week we are reflecting on spiritual renewal in the 15'th through 18'th centuries. This is a time of great reformation with many issues of debate. Where is God in the midst of it all? What would cause Christians to kill other Christians simply because of differences in belief? Today, most Christians don't shed blood over differences among ourselves, but we still have many weapons to inflict great pain. Will unity in the church ever be possible before heaven? As a class, we represent Catholic, Presbyterian, Lutheran, Baptist, Congregational, Assembly of God, and Mennonite. It's been a rich experience of dialogue and interaction.

Had an unfortunate accident tonight - someone rear-ended me while I was waiting to pull out onto a busy highway. Thank you Lord that no one was injured.

Psalm 34:
Lord, teach me to boldly worship you - extol, boast, rejoice, glorify, exalt you (1-3).

The theme of gaze continues in this Psalm. Those who look to him (gaze upon him) are radiant (5). The eyes of the Lord are (gaze) on the righteous (15). Lead me into the depths of this mutual gaze today Lord.

It has been a beautiful day here in Lancaster co. The cool temp felt like a fall morning. The recent rain is making the weeds grow along with the other things. Praise God for caring for you when you were rear-ended! Have a great day with Gods blessings.
