Today
Let’s blog a little today. It’s half past six, and there are two CSD’s put to fax after a whole afternoon of client-consultant followed by a site meeting. It feels complete, the day I mean. There has been a surge of confidence lately, and the feeling is more than just being able to stand up and speak in public. Does the accumulation of age reduce the need of being nervous?
Tim Hughes and Al Gordon were/are in town. They held a concert on Tuesday, and it was a pleasant evening. Does that sound like I’d just attended a violin recital? Well, there were string instruments on stage, and two worship leaders. Below stage, the worshippers. While the music was good to the ear, I particularly felt fed by their sharing. The theme was a route along the paths of the servant-hood worship leader/musician, to having a passion and completing the race, letting go of all that hinders our sight and progress to reach the finishing line. There was a marked attitude difference from singers/song writers performing on stage to these two worship leaders, who directed all focus and attention to the One celebrated in the songs; the focus of worship.
Today taught me a lesson on perceptions. Exactly a week ago, I was having a conversation with an uncle at the threshold of his new place. There were decisions made, overriding open procedures that I felt were beyond the appropriate ethics of such a person in position. I told this uncle that I lost a little respect for the one who instructed such actions.
Today, my perception changed again. Instructions came from an immediate superior, and that person had to execute them. It took just another info to redeem him from an unethical person to a submissive worker. Perceptions change, and it sometimes brings about a question as to how should we base our views on; the facts presented or attaching a benefit of a doubt to everything seen while observing the process in which the facts would in time reveal themselves. Not to judge is a command while the casual observer cannot simply live in a society oblivious to what differentiates a cat from a dog. Probably the cat has just to live its life as one, and likewise a dog, in all that it has been made to be.
Tomorrow, Young Adults’ BAG would be finishing Session 9. Is a Christian independent of the church? How does a church live?
Discipleship has been a word pregnant with purpose for me, as EFC Gospel Centre focuses on our Lord’s call for His followers.
Off to dig into the Old Testament with Terk tonight.
Ah Mau, have a good trip as you backpack along the Peninsular this month.
Take care.
