I started a study on Roman's this morning. I laid Abram down for his morning nap and grabbed a cup of coffee and sat down with the word. Why is is so hard sometimes to sit in the quiet? I have such a hard time not doing 4 things at once, that I am really ashamed at my struggle to sit and be still. The world's ways penetrate through our Christian lives and leave us empty and unchanged. The fast pace begs us to keep up and tune out with the gadgets, and "reality shows", and empty possessions we so desire.

Give me one pure and holy passion

Give me one magnificent obsession

Give me one glorious ambition for my life...to know and follow Hard after you

This world is empty pale and poor, compared to knowing you my Lord. So lead me on and I will run after you.
