Forever Young
We just finished watching "Forever Young" and the Olympics closing ceremony.
Funny that I've seen two sad love stories in two days!
Today we went to Narva. Their corps assistant is on her way to Moscow to be a cadet! Their farewell for her brought back memories of us leaving the Alexandria Corps. Seems like soooo long ago, but it was really only four years! Wow -- a lot has happened in those years!
In a week and a half, Tim will turn 40. We are not forever young!
The last verse of what I preached from today was 1 Corinthians 15:58 -- "always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord ... your labor for the Lord is not in vain." The whole chapter is pretty cool, great promises of victory over death, etc.
I have to remind myself that there is not a sharp distinction between sacred and secular, or at least there shouldn't be in my life. All my work, even moving into a new house, is the work of the Lord.
"In that day shall there be upon the bells of the horses, HOLINESS UNTO THE LORD; and the pots in the LORD'S house shall be like the bowls before the altar. Yea, every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah shall be holiness unto the LORD of hosts." (Zechariah 14:20-21)
