Day 3

First: a link to Team Will. These folks are riding cross-country in June to support childhood cancer. I know a few of the guys involved--they are good and training hard. Currently trying to support the team by tapping the cross-country network (UT, MO), relying on the Kevin Bacon game to really work.

So far so good on the 6-week Bible challenge. Sunday included Matthew 1-2 and Proverbs 2. This morning was back to OT in 1 Kings--Elijah is on the run, feeling dejected yet plugged in to God--the Big Guy comes through. Proverbs Chapter 3 and one of the "pillar passages" for difficult (or any) times: "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight." (5-6).

Both of these passages have relevance for stuff going on lately: God moving in small whispers vs. big dramatic displays, and placing trust in Him to take you through the rough patches. A bit of a rough patch yesterday, falter, stumble, but picked up again and all is OK for Monday.
