Taste and see that the Lord is good...
Psalm 34:8
5:58 am.
That's what my eyes saw on the bathroom clock as I came out of the playroom this morning. No, I was not playing all night -- just had spent the last few hours in there sleeping as the rest of the family was dealing with colds, coughing, etc. Not something I wanted any part of, but at this time of the morning it was a moot point. Last man standing...and the only one around here.
Eventually it was back to bed, but before I got there, my stomach let me know that I had better keep it happy. Strawberry yogurt it was. And it was good. And inspiration came. For me, that's pretty good in the early morning.
Now what to do with it?
There are men who have passed on into the presence of Jesus, who have stood out to me as ones who gave EVERYTHING for Him -- Eric Liddell (watch Chariots of Fire -- good movie), Oswald Chambers, Jim Elliot, and Keith Green. They loved Him with all they were. I don't want to worship them, but I do admire them. They were all out for Him.
That's what I want to be. Maybe the old song says it better than I can...
I have decided to follow Jesus,
I have decided to follow Jesus,
I have decided to follow Jesus,
No turning back, no turning back.
