A Few Good Men

I'm back...................................from an unplanned, non-productive break. Why did I stop blogging? The honest answer, I filled those times with other things, and stepped away from my time with God. How did I decide to come back? Simple....God's whisper. Yep, God sent me a message last night through a friend at my church. I was sitting down to eat at our Sizzling Saturday BBQ, and a friend came over to join me at the table. During our initial conversation I heard him say something like "you stopped blogging". I couldn't believe my ears. He said it so softly and to the point, and I heard it as a loud roar.........God was trying to lead me back. So...here I am.

The past 6 weeks have been hectic in my life. Extra work, kids off for the summer, nice weather, a little golf, work around the house.......and I realized last night, I squeezed God right out of my daily life. I blew it, again!

Today I read from Ezekiel 22:30 - "I looked for a man among them who would build up the wall and stand before me in the gap on behalf of the land so I would not have to destroy it, but I found none." God is looking for a few good men. The last 6 weeks, when He looked my direction, He did not find one. Today...I WANT to change my appearance. Pastor Dave said last night, start eating better. I am starting to eat better, and returning to the source of eternal food. A daily partaking of this "good food" is just the ticket. I missed it.

Thank you, God, for the reminder last night on what I am missing. I am missing a lot. Finally, THANKS MIKE, for relaying the message.

Peace.
