From the Community Lay Director
As I write this, I am just a few days home from working on the Agape team for Men's Walk 152, preparing to be on the kitchen team for Walk 153. I woke up this morning about 4am for no particular reason. I am starting to think I may have had one of the Fourth Watch experiences I wrote about last month. No great victory foretold, no great spiritual revelation. Just a still small voice. Thank you for your service. But when have you been still and known me as God (Ps. 46:10) in these past few weeks? Have you loved your wife as you should in these past few weeks? Have you been so busy being obedient that you have forgotten why you are being obedient and who you are being obedient to? Since I place a lot of stock in being obedient to my Lord and Savior. These questions are hard. Hard questions, but they came just in time I think. I have found it is easy to slip into being obedient because that is what is expected of me. The line in the Communion liturgy -- "Free us for joyful obedience" -- always comes close to my heart. Being obedient as an expression of love for my Lord and Savior is my goal and intent. I hope it is yours.
Looking forward to seeing you at Candlelight and Closing for Walk 153. Please make an effort to attend the next Gathering on April 4 at Trinity Hill Methodist in Lexington. We will be extending a welcome into the Community for our newest members - the men and women of Walks 152 and 153.
