I have a blog!

Restating the obvious can be very funny.

Today was an interesting sunday. I woke up a bit late (6:45am), then went to Tim Horten's for a bagel on the way to church. I arrived at the building and chilled out (that's unusual) while everyone else set up because I can't carry much with my crutches, until the sound board was out. When they finally got the Board out, I plugged everything in and then went and was hanging out on the stage when my dad walked up and said "So......you want to play electric guitar this morning?" I laughed and said sure, but I didn't think that he was serious until he came back and told me to hitch a ride home with my cousin Marty to get my guitar. It was cool, considering it was my first time ever playing in the band. Then we had a guest speaker named Bill Farley who spoke about God's passion to bless. One thing that stood out to me was when He talked out our generally inaccurate views of what God's blessing is. We tend to think of God's blessing as material things, when in fact His blessing is Himself. It's funny to think about how I could be the poorest, most sick, and most persecuted person in the world, but be blessed far more than some that lived comfortable lives. That's because trials bring us closer to God, they make us rely on Him with a trust that is much less easy to have when we are comfortable in our current position. It made me think about my ankle and how God is blessing my life through the injury. True I might not be able to walk on it for several months, but those are several months that I will be able to spend unfettered by a regular job and mostly at home where I'll have lots of time to spend with Him, and that is a blessing.

"The cross is the Mount Everest of God's blessing. All His other blessings are just mole hills in comparison"
