Jesus tells us in Mark 12:30 just how we are to love God: "And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength." There is a certain part of that verse that has made me pause. When I think of love, I think of the heart. My mind often goes to feelings. However, I don't usually think of loving with my mind, much less all of it.
Maybe because of this I truly began to ask myself what all is entailed in loving God with all of my mind. The more I thought (no pun intended), the more clear it has become. My hopes is to share in the next few weeks the outcome of these pontifications.
Any thoughts?

I really don't think anyone follows my posts. After all, they are so infrequent; who would hang around that long. I have been contemplating lately become a little more serious. Maybe something will come of this. But then again, I have started lots of things before that have trailed off into oblivion...

Today has been a great day. We worshiped with three different congregations. To be with people who have next to nothing and yet see them give their all in worship of Christ is astounding, humbling, and emotional to say the least. There were many times that I was left speechless and honestly ashamed of my selfish worship. It is amazing how, when things are stripped away, the beauty of Christ shines brightly in our lives. That God would ignite such a zeal for Him and His name in our church!
We are doing well and headed to lunch. I will post pictures when I get home. My internet there is faster than dial up!
Please keep praying...

We made it safe and sound to Addis Ababa! It was an extremely long flight and now we have about a five hour drive ahead of us. Matt took us to get something to eat (eggs, toast, and macchiatos - espresso and milk). It was good. And yes I had two macchiatos and yes I wanted more. Ethiopian coffee rocks!
I hope to send more info soon.

So I just found out that I can post via email. That should make my trip
to Ethiopia that much more exciting. Hopefully I will get chances to post!
