As I write this, I'm sitting in the corner of the El Toro Branch Library in Lake Forest preparing for tomorrow's High School Bible Study. I have my laptop, my Bible, and some study references. If my fickle mind wasn't distracting enough, the "making-out" high school couple to my right is even a greater one. But anyway...
I should be preparing more, but sometimes the the rummaging thoughts through my mind is a cacophonous blend louder than the "clickity-click" sounds my keyboard makes after my fingers strike the keys. I know I ought to plow through this; I ought to invest my energy into focusing and thinking. But how prone my mind and my heart is to grumbling! I've heard that FOCUS is an acronym for "Follow One Course Until Successful." It's pretty catchy, I guess - not sure what to think of it at this time. But in doing the Lord's work, it's quite difficult to follow one course (until successful) in a state of grumbling. Oh, to be humble and not grumble!
Right now, I'm passively meditating (if that's even possible) on a message Mark preached on Jude 16 about false-believing grumblers who have crept into the church. And in the midst of my grumbling, it's humbling to know that I'm privileged to share God's word tomorrow.
No excuses, just faithfulness. 30 'til close. Enough of my wilderness talk.
