confused...

for what it's worth... this 3rd consecutive weekend in chicago graced us with 70+ degree weather (see previous entries).... how strange to be able to go out to a dinner party wearing short sleeves when last weekend i was bundled up in my wintercoat.....

the unheeded secret

"JESUS answered, "My kingdom is not of this world" (John 18:36).

... An active Christian worker too often lives to be seen by others, while it is the innermost, personal area that reveals the power of a person's life.

... The central point of the kingdom of JESUS CHRIST is a personal relationship with Him, not public usefulness to others.

... You have no idea of where or how GOD is going to engineer your future circumstances, and no knowledge of what stress and strain is going to be placed on you either at home or abroad. And if you waste your time in overactivity, instead of being immersed in the great fundamental truths of GOD's redemption, then you will snap when the stress and strain do come. But if this time of soaking before GOD is being spent in getting rooted and grounded in Him, which may appear to be impractical, then you will remain true to Him whatever happens.

chicago

it's been entirely too long.... sorry about that folks... spent another day in chicago today, meandering amongst thousands of folks, running in and out of stores, bundled up against the wind, and doing the loop of michigan ave, millenium park, navy pier, and back to michigan ave. this is the second weekend in a row that i've been in chicago - and i'm going back there next weekend.... :) last weekend i saw my brother run the chicago marathon and today we were down with some internationals...

it's hard to believe that the temperature dropped from 75 degrees last weekend down to the 40's this weekend... sick! only in the mid-west.... sigh.... fall weather has set in...

chicago - 10*16*04 - 40 degrees
chicago marathon - 10*10*04 - 75 degrees
