Allright! I really do not want to know that you are in the back seat of a Ford Festiva eating a sushi Role. The people I follow have something to say and a short time to say it. So many good thoughts are lost to the vacuum that is our mind. Twitter helps those see the light of day. My twitter is http://twitter.com/jeffinroads
If you did not hear I became real sick on Sunday nite. I was trying to finish the message knowing that something was about to be real wrong in my body. Anyway, you do not need the gory details although... um never mind. I am blown away by this place, 85 degrees and then snow. This place is so weird.
Ok. I feel that there is something new coming with the spring. I can not put my finger on it. I know that it is sometimes painful for the spring to come! But it is glorious when it is in full bloom. So I am not waiting for some things, and others I have no choice. I hope to see the small buds that are just peeking through in my heart to open to glorious beauty. I know I have today, and let that be enough. I know that as we come from a time of winter it feels like we our stretching after a long nite of sleep. So stretch and put on a pot of your chosen stimulant and look outside. A flower just peeked through the snow.

I am sitting in "my" coffee shop! Isn't odd that we claim things like that? I am looking at the snow fall. I was at the beach last week! And now the snow falls and falls. They call this a spring storm. So I look to the new life of spring that is hiding under the white. There is a sermon illustration there, but for now I just watch it snow. Wow, I need a jolt cola, circa 1983.
It is very weird to come to your home knowing that your new goal is to make this home your old home. We drove in on Tuesday afternoon and the place already feels different. How do you not feel weird, when where you are is not where you will be? Anyway. I am giving myself Wednesday to get my head on straight. I hope that helps. Thanks to all who keep up with this.
Man what a weird place. I know that where I am is weird. I know that I had no leaning, and I know that my last post might have given an impression of a leaning. It is not the case. I guess where I am is that I did not get the emphatic answer that I was looking for. It is odd to feel like both are equal answers and yet be upset that you did not see a clear winner on either. So you do what you are supposed to, but at the end of the day, we would all like to feel that there is a crystal clear calling.
Forgive me for wanting more from God than He even promises.

Ok, here is the thing, I have had not leading in this process. I love InRoads with all my heart. To be back and be their Pastor is an amazing honor. To see the vision and the direction God gave me for Colorado completed would have been truly a blessing and humbling experience. So in the last six weeks we have wanted God to lead. I have had no leaning, and my wife has had no leaning. It is a pain in the butt, to think of packing up and bring all out stuff back. That is just life. I just wanted an emphatic direction from God. I do NOT want to leave a mission field untilled. I do not want to be back when there could be more to do. I do not want to overstay my welcome. I do not want to miss the miracle by five minutes. So this date comes! And we dutifully do what we told the church we would do. I am relieved and confused. I know that it is laughable to think that because 4 men said that by this date... blah, blah, blah. He is God for pete sake. He will do what He will do! So here we set. We have and answer! Please forgive me that I feel like there is a great big * next to it. Ok, no more I am going to go back and kick a squirrel!
P.S. Squirrels are picking fast!
