Retreat

No longer being bucked and billowed by a stormy sea, I feel like a boulder in a sand garden, slowly settling into the proper place. . . the locus of balance, harmony and freedom through disciplined self-enslavement.
I don't know exactly why we are where we are at this time, but I feel certain it has to do with learning a lesson about service and the value of serving no matter the size or aim of the effort. I don't necessarily feel passionate about our church or its primary missions but perhaps that's the point.
Perhaps I'm still immature enough that a better spiritual environment would mislead and distract me.
In the meantime, I DO envy the emerging church people. . . it's a well intentioned movement on the whole and though I'm sure there are weak points, they think alot. That's more than most can say.
