Last night my wife and I attended a cookout for her work.  It was a Hawaiian theme complete with pig roast and the music that goes with it.  After dinner though, there was a limbo competition.  If you mention competition, I am generally in- as long as it does not have any dancing involved.  So, I limbo’d my heart out and ended up the grand champion, but what I have realized today is that my body is not very appreciative of my competitive spirit.  At the ripe old age of 28, I think I can finally say that I am too old to limbo.

I have been traveling and teaching/speaking/preaching (whatever you want to call it) for about 4-5 years now.  Sunday night I was the first time I have ever taught at the church I call home.  I must tell you, God was very good.  It is amazing how much joy God gives  you when you are doing what He has called you to do.  It was a great time.  God used it not only to shape others, but to shape me as well.  I will admit that sometimes traveling can feel like a job, so it is great when a night comes like this past Sunday.  Showing up where you call home, and getting to teach God’s heart-changing, life-altering, mind-shaping, and eternal Word.

I have an itchin’ to go fishin’!  I need to get on the water soon.  So far, I have only pulled three bass this year in two days on Lake Murray.  Matthew needs some fish in the boat.  I must be honest- some people say that fishing is good even when you are not catching anything.  I think those people must not catch many fish.  Personally… I feel horrible when I leave a lake, stream, or river when I have not done very well.  I like to catch them pretty little fishies.

Get out this weekend and enjoy God’s Glory in His Creation.  Some of us will be stuck in a wedding in NC.  Fish for us.
