The Journey Begins

As promised I am beginning my travels to the Southwest and perhaps as far as the California coast with a blog entry. My speaking commitments precluded my leaving on this trip any sooner than today. Yesterday I filled in for a friend of mine at the 1st Baptist Church in Tewksbury and preached on the "Glory of God in Prayer" (here is a link to my notes). I had five pages of notes and though I preached for forty minutes didn't get past the first page -- pathetic, I know.

Thankfully, I do not have to be back in New England before the end of March; but, whatever plans I may make - and I make very few - God has a way of changing them. Consequently, I find it helpful to stay flexible; not in body, of course, but in spirit. It is my intention to avoid any days with excessive milage. Thus, I find myself at the Dover AFB at the end of my first day of driving. It turns out that driving on the MLK holiday was a good choice as far as traffic goes. 

No photos today; however, I took this one yesterday while I was out walking Charlie. Winter in NE sans the snow. Linda tells me there is snow on the way this week. I'm so sorry to be missing it.  I hope to be posting some as the trip progresses. 

I've brought along my clarinet and I'm tempted to practice tonight, but I'm a bit leary as the military installations are a little rigid about what is permissible with regard to "disturbances" at the BOQ and might evict me in the middle of the night. I may press my luck with friends I see along the way. Linda graciously tells me that I'm making progress, but I think she may be glad not to have me around for the next month or so as I frequently practice until late in the evening.

I can't wait to read this. I preached on Paul's prayer at Ephesians 3:14-21 . . . and I was only 36 minutes (THOUGH THE PASSAGE IS SHORTER). So I'm praying for you and following. I have also picked up Keller's recommended book of the prayers of Thomas Cramner . . . this week: Almighty and everlasting God, mercifully look upon our infirmities, and in all our dangers and necessities, stretch forth Thy right hand to help and defend us, through Christ our Lord.
