I am 'wired,' but just barely.<BR/><BR/>I am in Orlando, taking a long weekend trip with Nathan. While he is in the shower, I thought I would use his laptop to keep in touch with Pastor E's blog.<BR/><BR/>In Psalm 16 it is written that "God is my refuge... and apart from Him, I have no good thing." I believe this to be true. I also believe that God works all things to good. As mere mortals we may not see the good, but it is there.<BR/><BR/>I was 'wired' from an early age to love words and putting them together. I have never been a fast reader, and there were teachers in my educational journey who attempted to increase the speed with which I did so. I could never see the point. If I did what they told me, I might "get the general drift" of what I was reading, but I found that I missed the construction, the structure of the sentences, the way in which the author had built his or her ideas. So, I slowed down again, savoring what I read, as one would a flavorful meal, each sentence having its own discernable taste.<BR/><BR/>This blog has given me a new avenue to express my ideas, to share my fears, my joys. As such, it has 'wired' me to an audience I would not have otherwise ever found.<BR/><BR/>I was asked to take on a different role in church leadership prior to this year's election. I turned that opportunity down, choosing instead to remain the church board secretary. I choose to stay in that position because I believe I am more helpful there than I would be somewhere else. I feel called to do that work.<BR/><BR/>I am hopeful that God will continue to call me to what He sees as jobs I can complete. I have not been misled so far, and each day brings new opportunities.Betty Dygarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13228417023345371842noreply@blogger.com
