Pig Flu
First my wife and then me. We both got knocked down by the swine flu.
Isn't it interesting how much we long for health when we are sick? We say all kind of things to ourself, "When I get better, I will start exercising more often." At least that's what I've been saying.
But what would happen if we hungered for God in the way we desire health in the midst of sickness?
My wife and I are reading Tom Holladay's book The Relationship Principles of Jesus along with the majority of our church community. The book is based upon two main principles, "Love God; love others." Our love for God is what overflows into the lives of others.
I am enjoying the book because its not filled with a bunch of stuff - its straight-forward, honest, and to the point. Oh ya, I noticed something else about being sick... I don't have much strength to love anything. I think there might be another pricniple in that thought...
