Ethan’s home. Home School is on break. No midweeks this week at church. It’s that odd in between Christmas and New Years time of year. It’s not really vacation, yet not really a regular work week either. I went to the office today, but it was a lot of little stuff. Bulletin info, some e-mails, communion reminders, prep for meeting with the city tomorrow, etc. I wonder if your week is a little odd this week too?
I did redeem some of the time with a little sermon prep and week of prayer prep. I’m reading the book, He Hears Your Prayers, by Ron Auch. This is a great time of year to refresh your prayer life and get a jump on 2012. New Year’s resolutions are pretty hit and miss, but a good sweep of your spirit isn’t a bad idea. What has crept in and wanted to stay? What got pushed to the side in the busyness of life? What is God saying to you? Would you know Him if He did speak to you?
So take advantage of the limbo days this week and grab a good book. Pull up by the Christmas tree with your Bible and send some time with the Lord. Pick up a little spiritual speed before it’s resolution time.
Be Refreshed!
