My dear comrades, No, this is not a blog about condiments, but for your information, basic mayo is oil and egg whites. Actually I was thinking about spiritual malaise, or in east Tennessee terms, a rut. I have been there for about two months.
Looking back on my officer life, and even a few years before, I can recognize times when I was in a deep spiritual rut. You know what I mean? Just going along, doing my thing, half-hearted singing of the songs, thinking about lunch during prayer, speaking on boring subjects or verses. Life is a series of hills, mountains, and valleys. To use a cliche, we can not always stay on the mountain top. Simon Peter tried desperately to stay atop Mount Tabor - 17:4 Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias. He was willing to build semi-permanent dwellings. I am sure with decent (although impulsive) motives. Almost immediately the clouds dissipate, and they start down the mountain. We in the South have a great series of meetings coming up in a week, Go Deeper with God! Holiness Congress 2008. I am ready to be energized, challenged, and ready to climb up on a mountain for a few days, and get renewed, refreshed, and recharged. By the way, speaking of fast food, I am giving up diet soda this summer and switching to water and/or tea while at camp. Pray for me! God bless, Be well, and Keep in touch! |
