Acceptable In Your Sight
Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer. Psalms 19:14

Thankful for Thinking
This morning I've been listening to the first panel discussion
http://desiringgod.org/resource-library/conference-messages/speaker-panel-with-deyoung-parsons-piper-and-tchividjian#/listen/full
from the Desiring God - Think Conference this past weekend in Minneapolis, MN. About 3/4 way through one of the panelists begins discussing the lack of spiritual mentoring by elder men and women in the body of Christ. The vast majority seem to be "going it alone" for various reasons.
But I am praising God for his provision for me in this arena. When I have thoughts or questions, I have a healthy number of men and women that regularly "go there" with me to ponder and search the Scriptures for deeper revelation and answers. I have also discovered that when I initiate spiritual conversation with people, they sometiems are willing to share right back. Not always, and not even most of the time... but sometimes. And the substance of those conversations refresh the soul and the intellect, leaving a most vibrant and alive-ness found no place else in my social life.
It's like a pulsating, moving, living thing rather than the dried up and dead triviality that drives other interaction.
So, to all of you who read this blog... you are part of this organism I love so much. I hope it's as good for you as it is for me, because because we get to spend eternity together!!! :)
