Tuesday...

Had a wonderful two hour retreat time today. Spent a lot of time thinking and praying about Zion and my family. One aspect is my idea for my final project. That would be working at developing a greater sense of connection with God through service.

Lets face it we are mennonites and we are great at doing. But why do we do? Why does someone serve at the table of plenty? Do we think about our connection to God as we work at building the kingdom that Jesus himself laid the foundation for? Do we ever think about the deep connection that we create with our Jesus as we serve with him? There are some ideas brewing - one thought was to have the board paint my house:) But the paint still looks great - maybe we will have to spend some time at the MRC center or serving a meal at church.

We should never think of service as that thing that we "should" do because it is the "right thing." We serve because that is what Jesus is doing and we want to be a part of what he is doing. There was more, but I will have plenty of writing to do.
