One more thing I forgot to mention, that I should have mentioned below (read below first).
Sunday night I went to a service at Littleton - about 40 folks, singing, prayer, and a dvd series about recovery based upon the beatitudes....
No big deal: I had even taught the same similar lesson at least a few times over the past decade....
but I felt like I was, for the first time in perhaps YEARS - being MINISTERED TO, in church(!) It felt so great - I have even been contemplating on "Blessed are the Poor in Spirit" every since. Granted, its only Tuesday morning, but this is a really great feeling.
It's my turn to 'cease striving', I guess, and know who God is. I've spent all this time preparing and trying (oftentimes unsuccessfully) to minister to others - and I daresay, I enjoyed it, especially the teaching and preaching part -
but dang it's nice to sit and allow myself to be 'ministered unto' -
