My better and not so better moments... Maybe I should just start each new blog post with "Sorry I haven't been blogging more"? But since it's just you and me now blog, and all those other folks who used to hang around and read this stuff have moved on to Letters From Kamp Krusty and Dustin's blog, I guess we can get back down to business, eh? So much and so little happening, all at the same time. Looks like I'm probably heading down to San Diego a week from today. So, the week before Palm Sunday, the start of our 3rd Gathering, trying to get ready for Good Friday and Easter, I'm hopping on a plane to deal with dad.

Hebrews says "'For the Lord disciplines those he loves, and he punishes each one he accepts as his child.'” As you endure this divine discipline, remember that God is treating you as his own children. Who ever heard of a child who is never disciplined by its father? God disciplines us for our own good. Check. Out of love. Check. And that looks like...? What I didn't want to say was "crappy circumstances=God's discipline." That's an equation that's just too easy to abuse. The fact is, crap happens to the just and the unjust, as it were. But... If it's not circumstantial, what is it? A guilty conscience (sorry......
