Dodging the Bullet
Well, thankfully I dodged the register again today. I had another busy but productive shift at Haywood Mall. It's never easy to break into a new system, even when you've seen the basic fundamentals at two other restaurants. But so far, there've been no serious problems, so I'm thankful for that much.
I'm reading a book this summer called Fresh Power. It's written by Jim Cymbala, who I remember as the pastor of the Brooklyn Tabernacle from my high school senior trip to New York. It's a powerful book that talks about living each day of our walk with Christ under the power of the Holy Spirit. It's only by this divine power that we can effectively present the truth of the Gospel to others. Cymbala pulls no punches; he confronts the problems in our churches and society head-on, and a common thread he finds in all of them is an absence of the Holy Spirit. I'm cut to the heart reading his words because I can see the truth in them all too clearly. I'm so glad the L-Team will be studying this book. It will prove to be a strong aid in helping us to serve and lead the students effectively.
Other than that, nothing much else to report. Except that tomorrow night is Furman's Commencement ceremony. I'm glad I'll again have the day shift at Chick-Fil-A so I can attend (provided the forecast holds up and it doesn't rain, in which case I'm out of luck). I have a lot of friends in the class of 2005 and I can't wait to watch them get their diplomas. I'll miss them so much, but I know they're going to do so many awesome things in the world. I'll look forward to hearing about what God will do through them.
Song of the Day: Delirious - "Rain Down"
Verse of the Day: "You did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship. And by him we cry, "Abba, Father." - Romans 8:15
