Last night was turning point in my journey of faith so far. I was in my quiet time(something I haven't been able to say in a long time) the scripture was Luke 11:1 where Jesus' disciples approach Jesus asking him to teach them to pray. Jesus there afterwards gives them a model prayer also known as the Lord's Prayer.
As I read the scripture I felt this spirit come over me and really sink in and for the first time in a long time the words of scripture actually had a deeper meaning than just words on a page. It was at this point that God convicted me of things in my life that were displeasing to him(better said I finally came to terms or acknowledged what God had already convicted me of much earlier instead of causually sweeping in under the metaphorical rug). I nailed it to the cross and gave it to proceeded to do what I need to do to make sure that the habitual sin that was in my life could never happen again. My heart was drawn to Psalm 51 which I read and was reminded of what it was like for me in High School. After reading through the psalm several times as a sort of prayer I felt restored in my faith and so much closer to God.
As result the music and the message in chapel resonated in my heart more deeply and with more meaning than they have ever before.
Now for something a on sort of a comical note, Does it say in the Word that God considers it more righteous if you dress in coat and tie for seminary class. I know that's not true and the gentlemen I see might have a viable reason for being dressed this way.
I just thought I would insert in here for some funny feedback and thoughts that sure to come.
Grace, Peace, and Chai <><

great stuff, bro. press on in the faith.
btw, i never, ever, never wore a tie at all while i was in seminary. well, maybe on my graduation day. but, other than that... sandals and tennis shoes.
I personally think you should wear cowboy boots, jeans, and a bolo tie with your sport coat.
But I don't think that the world could handle it.
See you Sunday.
Forgive, I've been sick this past few days. If you're still in town, stop by tomorrow at the Pike (I'm coaching 12-4) and I'll hook you up with free stuff.
