Monday Rambles

Today I had hoped to do some yard work but the skies are clouding quickly. Sara had some friends over who stayed late, so when I woke this morning there were college student sized bodies scattered, sleeping, around the living room and a couple of older cars parked in front of the house. After I took Nick to school I had this fleeting temptation to start mowing the lawn but it wasn't 7 AM, yet so I know that neither my neighbors nor the sleeping college students would appreciate my ambition. Our computer is also in the living room so my morning routine is off as well.

I decided to be polite and go into the church office and use the computer there. The newsletter article is due tomorrow. Since I am here at the church doing my on line devotional reading: here is the post from inward/outward.

In a world of fugitives the person taking the opposite direction will appear to run away. If the truth has made us odd, if we have not accommodated ourselves out of all recognition, then it will appear to some people that we’re running away, that we’re living an escapist existence, that we’re outsiders, even outlaws–whereas the truth is that we’re the insiders, because we’re bearing God’s reality, not the world’s. We are the true establishment, because we are building and inhabiting God’s basilica, the commonwealth of eternity, not earth.

So I am rambling, but in which direction?
