1. Children's Ministry Seminar went well. Looking forward to the next one this coming Saturday. We're going to be repeating the seminar this Saturday evening in order to give people the opportunity to come, who were unable to attend the first time.
2. Jamie is growing by leaps and bounds. I keep wishing I was able to hold on to him more. He's working on crawling and walking at the same time. On top of that, he's got this smile that makes cars stop.
3. Which brings me to point number three. It's not everyday that you have a traffic jam due to too many Ferraris. But we here in Pforzheim belong to one of those lucky very "modern" cosmopolitan cities that attracts the kind of people, who buy Ferraris. Whatever... It's not called "The City of Gold" for nothing. ;-)
4. There really isn't a 4th and yet there is. Still reading "The Cost of Discipleship". It's such a good book I wanted to have it in the original german. I'm surprised actually that this kind of deep spirituality is not more prevalent in Germany. Although Bonhoeffer speaks about this phenomenon, attributing Germany's lack of fear of God and true discipleship, to the cheapening and handing out of grace to anyone and everyone shortly after the reformation. An interesting thought indeed. One, which I can truly understand being here.
Germany is a land that has given up on any absolutes. "All roads lead to Rome" has become the anthem for the church at large and most of Christendom.
Looking at my boy though and watching him grow. I find myself looking ever steadily to the Holy, Awesome Father-God for answers. There's too much that is unexplainable and downright unimaginable that happens everyday. In times like these: how could I depend on my own understanding? And yet... often enough, I certainly do try.
