I've been at a stand-still lately concerning blogging. Notwithstanding, the past month has accelerated with activity and the Winter months are also upon us. I mention this because I am not a great fan of cool and cold weather. Because of my medical condition(s) I take my flu shots regularly but that does not keep me from contracting the occasional sore throat and/or head cold. since I'm complaining, let me also tell you how the cold makes my joints and my bones ache. I don't like being ill at all.
I heard from a very good friend today and I was, once again, reminded of how some relationships will remain with me for my entire life; and in a very positive way.
I did sing in North Carolina at a good friend's church for his morning and evening service. I don't relish travel as much as I used to, but the attendance of several family members and friends made the occasion very sweet.
There is something on my mind which I am not sure how to properly dispel in words. It is concerning some repetitive dreams and thoughts. When I was a church pastor my format for conveying "A Word from the Lord" was easily recognized and accepted more willingly. Although I recognize that "God's gifts and his call can never be withdrawn" (Romans 11:29) , I no longer operate from a pulpit and therefore am less forward about offering someone advice or warnings. My situation is this in a nutshell; I see the need to convey a warning to someone I know very well concerning their behavior, but I have been hesitant. However, we must obey God rather than men. (Acts 5:29). It won't be the first time I was disliked for telling the truth.
Pray my strength in God,
Dennis
