So who in the world blogs when they don't really have anything to say. I guess I do. I've ignored my reminder to post two times now and just feel I should put something up in order to keep the habit. So here's just a few thought and things going on.
1. Saw Expelled:No Intelligence Allowed last night. This is a documentary by Ben Stein showing the lack of academic and scientific freedom in America for those who want to question evolution and see if there's scientific evidence of a creator. Very well done. I think it's real strength will be to get people to not trust scientists so much. Yes, science has done wonders for us and is an exciting aspect of human existence. However people have come to equate science with truth, and need to be reminded that like any human endeavor it can be distorted and controlled. Go see this, it's good.
2. We're going to Mississippi in a few weeks for a wedding. The finances of that trip as stressful, primarily because of taxes and some medical expenses. The timing is just bad. Otherwise, I am looking forward to being there. Not the drive so much, but our days there.
3. In my men's group on Thursdays, we've been talking some about differences between our church and the conference we're a member of. The topic of remarriage has come up and it's one that I'm really interested in. As a future pastor, I would want to guide those who want married to follow the Lord in that. God never wants a divorce to occur, but does seem to allow for it in some cases. If you were to divorce, there seem to be times when you could remarry and times when God would still want to reconciled to your ex. I thought about this a lot with my parent's divorce and my Mom's subsequent remarriage. I think that Biblically they are alright, but still want to revisit it now that it's past and not as emotionally involved. I also want to remember that we're not dealing with a law book, but rather want to seek the heart of God. Thursday evening we're going to study this more in depth, I think.
4. I've been thrilled to see the work that God is doing in my wife's life and heart. I'm not going to embarrass her here with specifics, but still want to give God glory for answering my prayers for her.
5. I'm struggling in my job. I really want out. During a sermon I got the sense that God would have me stay, then I found a job opening I'd like. I'm so very confused, angry and just mentally blocked with it. I need to just pray about it, but not sure I want to hear what God might say. It's a chance to mature, I guess. Pray for me in that.
So much for not much to say. :-D
