But this picture is worth some comment…

This weekend was interesting.  We have been praying as a house church that God would “catch the little foxes, the foxes which spoil the vine,” (Song of Songs 2:15).  It was a prayer that God would root out the hidden sins and hinderances which are stealing our fruitfulness in the Kingdom. 

So John, before he came this weekend, just kind of offhandedly made this statement that maybe we would catch one of our racoons when he came.  Sure enough, as we were grilling out, we saw this little gal in our cage.  I think it’s a sign of what God is doing in our midst.  Regardless, we caught one….

Just a quick note to everyone.  I’m usually around the blogosphere quite a bit keeping tabs on what people are saying, but the Lord has dealt with me about the need to shut out all the other voices around me for awhile.  So for a while, I will confine my comments to this blog and this blog only.  To those friends of mine who are used to me keeping up with their lives through blogging, I’ll catch up with you some time soon. 

After last weeks “Photoshopping” Debacle, I thought it would be important to move to more realistic topics.  Thanks to everyone who joined in on the fun.  The biggest news as of late is that our house church is going on a corporate fast together.  The Lord was really pressing several of us independently about the need to step out in a new way and move forward with what the Lord is calling us to.  But we have little idea what that looks like.  We know we need Jesus to show up in our midst and that what we’ve experienced so far is not enough to take where we’re going.  So we called a fast. Keep tuned…we’ll give more details and more direction over the next few days. 

Also, hopefully soon I’m going to get around to writing a little more seriously about some things the Lord has been stirring on my heart.  Look for “A Vision For Cultivating Your Heart” and “Apostolic Witness and the Resurrection of Jesus” in the near future.

Also, on a more serious note, I want to say thanks to Randy Bohlender, writer of Stuff I Think, for a great run as a blogger.  I think Randy inspired a lot of us to write, to be ourselves, and to seek God wholeheartedly all at the same time through blogging.  His blogging will be missed.  Catch up with what people say about his departure here. 

Love you all
