Various and Sundry Random Thoughts Marking a Return to Xanga (again)

    Greetings fellow Xanglians,
    Well, here I am again. With the best of intentions to try and keep up with blogging (insert hearty laugh here). I am now in the 5th month of working at Verity Institute. Its great work and its what I love. I've gotten invaluable experience running their music department and I work with some of the most incredible people around. 
   
    It is grad month here. That means recitals, piano tunings, and general insanity. It will be another great opportunity to trust God implicitly.

    I've learned a lot about what it means to be a man these last few months. The first lesson is that a real man works until the job is done and trusts God to supply EVERY need and to satisfy every desire. The second is that a real man is not ruled by his desires, but rules himself under the greater rule of God. Easy to write about, impossible to live. That is what divine power is for.

    I have also learned that the most horrible idol to have is one's self.

    So
    Walk in the light
    Run
    Dance
    Kneel
    Seek


    Find

very wise words about being a man.  I am currently reading a book by Stu Webber called Tender Warrior that I highly recomend to anyone who is ready to really learn what being a man is all about.  I've read it once (as a matter of fact, my quote of the post at the Campfire is from that book), and am reading it again before I lead a study on it.

I saw that you stopped by the Campfire, and thought I'd drop in and let you know that it was great to see you there, and you're welcome back anytime!

By the way... how did you find the Campfire?  I've had several visitors today that seem to have come from their home-page without a reference!  just curious.
