Back in the Saddle Again…7.26.10
by SteveAfter a wonderful two week vacation at the lake, Judy and I are back in UG and it feels good to be back in the saddle again. I began my day with an hour on the bike at 7 am, and I tried to focus on the beauty around me as I rode.
I was impressed this morning with the difference in the appearance of the corn in the fields. What I had seen lately was corn that was dried up and dying, curling at the edges, and apparently almost at the point of no return. Today was a different picture altogether.
Last night we had a refreshing rain that made all the difference in the world. Just a little moisture made a huge difference. The corn this morning looked luxuriant!
Made me think about the Christians I know who are drying up because of their failure to be in worship on a regular basis. One good “feeding” a week could turn most of them into healthy, productive followers of Jesus. If we miss too many opportunities for the food and drink for the soul, we start looking and feeling like the dried up corn. Some of us need to take a look in the mirror today….
