Today's thoughts

I do fret often. Often I think back of my mistakes which can be a problem because being fretfulness can rob me of my peace and joy that I have with Christ. I have to remember that I am not alone with mistakes. That my spiritual life should not feed on the negatives and that I need to focus on the positives. I need to focus in following God today and tomorrow. I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God called me heavenward in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 3:14) When I am facing my chronic pains, I often focus on something to keep my mind busy such getting online (i.e. my Blog). I often retread to read books or get into deep thoughts about certain topics. Today at church, things are looking good. Carole and I really like the church and seeing where the church is going spiritually. We have a new pastor and we enjoy having him there. He focus in our personal relationship with God. I like the fact he encourage people to pray to God during "alter time" which is a time we spent time alone with God before we hear the Pastor's message. I like this because I want to be spiritually ready before I learn God's Word. Carole and I want to serve the church but we not sure what we will do since we are fairly new there. Carole and I pretty much rested today.
