What to say... well I have spent the day doing chores so that I could spend some quality time with the Lord. BUT, I have gotten sidetracked with learning about this Blog and have put the Lord last. That is not my hearts desire, although my actions are certainly contradictory. How often I stumble on interesting personal pursuits like reading books, going for walks, watching movies, talking on the phone to friends and family, and working on the computer. These are not bad things but they are not the best things either. Just as Martha got side-tracked in the kitchen while Mary was sitting at the feet of Jesus, I am caught up in second-best activities. Shame on me!
..Being confident that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion... (Phil 1:6)
