I am having a hard time blogging lately.  It seems that this back injury has affected my mind more than my back.  I don't even know how to describe it but that 1 Peter 4:1-3 applies more than I realized.  Peter was speaking to the church which was experiencing adversity.  He encouraged them to live for Christ in the face of this adversity, to look beyond their current trials and put away sin.

I believe there is more power to live for God than we choose to access.  I like Paul's prayer for the Ephesians.  He prayed that we might be strengthened and empowered from the Father's glorious, unlimited resources!  I am learning to lean on that today.  I guess you could say that I hit the LOTTO.  See you at church tomorrow and we can talk about all that we have available to us to live godly lives.
