review.

well friends, i've learned a lot this week.

i learned that we can approach God like an idol, just hoping to strike some sort of deal -- not knowing how much he desires to know us, not just fulfill our wishes. i learned that maybe, just maybe, israel's 40 years in the desert was God's heart expressing this -- he wanted them to come into the land of riches knowing him before the milk & honey.

i learned that loud and obnoxious can still equal insecure -- that even the words which seem to cut so deeply, which couldn't possibly be an accident, might just be someone else's hurt coming through. and if i can make Christ sufficient for my healing, then maybe, just maybe, i can have compassion, and step back to see where a friend needs grace and truth, not accusation and alarm.

i learned that my new (as of 10 hours ago) chiropractor has a technique which just might help me with me ankle.

i learned that floating down the old man river is AWESOME, and a great way to cool off and meet with friends.

i learned that moving in takes time, and sometimes the pieces just need to come together (aka, becca better get here soon...)...

hmmm. i learned a lot of things.

i could've sworn i'd heard of this before...

rob steele *rob steele* is a friend of friends, who i've met once -- but he carries a reputation, at least for the cult-like response people exhibit when his name is spoken.

(think steve holt *steve holt* from arrested development -- except everybody in the room raises their arms).

so, rob has a blog, which seems really familiar -- as if someone else out there in the blogging world pointed me to it years ago.

anyway...it's worth reading. the thoughts and words and epiphanies of another disciple, another son, struggling to receive and walk in the light -- be encouraged.
