Never lose the wonder...

     Just returned from church and a short walk in the leaves with Abby.  Today Thad (our pastor) spoke on Mark 10:32 and following.  He spoke about how easy it is for things we once loved with great emotion and passion to become things merely ordinary and how sometimes the passion of our relationship with God can suffer some of the same consequences.  He asked us to consider if there were a time in our lives when faith was more growing, dynamic, or important than it is to me today...at this moment?  A seminary life can sometimes become all too familiar.  Studying the Bible, or reading about the church is so normal and intellectual that the wonder of it all can be lost amidst all the theory and speculation.  Remembering that the way of Christ is not merely and informational or academic pursuit is something I needed to hear.  So instead of studying for my Greek mid-term and write that paper on the Diocletian Persecution I headed for the trees with my camera, dog, and Greek flash cards and lost myself in some of God's wonder...at least for an hour or so...If you want to visit the website of Zion Church where I'm each Sunday just click on the link above...
