This question is frequently accompanied by a self-inflicted smack on the forehead. I should have a dent there, but I don’t…yet… that I’m aware of. So this is going to be somewhat discombobulated, train of thought, miscellaneous stuff.
- I’m starting a Connect Group. I’ll still be part of the one that I’m “in”; I’m just starting another one that I’ll lead. Ish. Lead-ish. I’m not sure I’ll lead it forever or all by myself, or what it will morph into. Word to the wise, and/or listening, don’t ever sit and say think, “Someone should (whatever).” That someone will end up being you. I completely think God snickers at this. I believe that He plants that idea in our mind, lets it root around a bit, waits until we’ve bellyached enough that someone should do it, then puts us in charge of it. (Hence the reason I say nothing at all about children’s ministry stuff.) So I’ve been feeling that someone should do a connect group for people that just don’t fit in another group. I’ve said a few times that if someone doesn’t do a study about (whatever) that I would. Heh. I am. Starting this Wednesday at The Nest at 8pm. I have no idea who is coming, except one person. I have no idea what I’m supposed to talk about. I’m overwhelmed. If God doesn’t get involved in this, I’m gonna look like an idiot. I suppose that’s a good thing.
- Some guy is coming to this blog and linking to others in my linky list and leaving argumentative comments challenging their beliefs and what they say about God. A couple of people have asked him to engage in further conversation, but it appears he is uninterested in anything other than heckling. It appears that this person’s path originates with my blog, this blog. Which brings me to my thought. Who is this person, and why does he do this? If you truly believe something different from another person, why would you not be willing to engage them in a discussion about it? Then I wonder, why has this person not commented here? Is nothing I say challenging them? Am I whitebread?
- What am I doing in my day to day job that matters? For eternity? For God? Am I wasting time? Should I be doing something else? Why do I feel drawn to other things – things that seem impossible, too far out there, and did I mention impossible? I have no answers on this one, I’m still praying it out.
This could be classified as the world’s longest Twitter.
