Field Notes on Bi-Vocational Church Leadership in Suburban America

May 14, 2004

hello again…

It has been a while. Not sure why, but I have not been in the “blogging” kind of mood lately….oh well…

I am preaching in two Sundays and i have been studying a bit this week for my message. i am sharing from psalms and will be talking about the importance of guarding and allowing God to search our hearts. as i have been studying this topic, something i am becoming very passionate about, i have been trying to “live it” in my own life. its not easy. not only becauase i don’t always like what i find there, but also because it takes time…it takes discipline. two things i haven’t necessarily figured out how to use very well! but, its been very good at the same time. i am realizing more and more the significance of “with all diligence, guard your hearts….” its a lot bigger than i have ever realized.

by the way, my seminary friend LT has got a nice blog going on (especially now that he is done for the semester and has nothing to do but blog all day!) and i encourage you to check it out…

    Hi, Todd. Thanks for leading me back to your blog. It’s been a while since I read it. And then I read LT’s.I am so encouraged about this new generation.

    Will you be able to summarize your sermon in your blog? I’ll be watching for it!
