"One thing strikes me about this list: each item is something positive about Android, instead of something negative about the iPhone. That’s often a sign that a decision is the correct one. If you’re moving toward something, it means you know what you want and you think this other thing will deliver it to you. If you’re moving away from something, you’re headed towards… what, exactly? You don’t know where you’re going but you know it must be better than the situation you’re fleeing from.
Are you moving away, or moving toward? Life is a much less nervous undertaking when you travel with a destination in mind."
I never can guess where I'm going to hear God's voice. This was on my mind as I was thinking about Pentecost coming this Sunday. This was the Sunday for Linda and I to become members of Church of the Resurrection. This was a long, and unexpected, journey for us, but as I reflected on making this change it really felt like what the above author was describing. Joining COR was about moving toward something. This is a congregation that has embraced us, challenged us, and encouraged us in our walk with Christ. It is exciting to get up on Sunday morning, knowing that we get to worship there. Even getting out of the house by 8:30 a.m., to get there for Praise Team practice, is a joy.
Unfortunately, today was also the last day for our friend Bruce to sing with me in the COR-tet. Bruce & Janet are moving to Clarkdale and will be sorely missed. It was Bruce that invited me to be part of the music ministry at COR and I'm very grateful.
Our song this morning is "I'll Fly Away".
The COR-tet this morning was (L-R) Bill Norris, Bruce McLaughlin, Butch Gross, and Ernie deVries.
