To protect something fragile they intrinsically sense about themselves.<BR/><BR/>3. To establish justice; especially if they feel wronged.<BR/><BR/>Sounds like you do adventure well.

I'm not suggesting that the work you do, or the trials you face, or the normal routines you accomplish are not important, they are, and I think you get that. But, the fact that Jeff inquiring of whether you kayaking lately is no mere coincidence! That is something I have always admired about you Phil, your sensitivity and obedience to the Holy Spirit. Your relationship with Jesus is such an adventure, and the fact that He loves you so much, He does not want you to miss out on such adventures as a result of being trapped by the grind of life! <BR/><BR/>Phil, it truly sounds as though you had a great time of fellowship with the Lord while adventuring the other night! I believe He sometimes speaks to us in the most unusual places, and I am sure He spoke to you in your kayak! Now I feel a children's church song coming to mind.... "I got a river of live flowin out of me...."<BR/><BR/>Blessings to you Phil!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26895116.post-22029536494891925852007-06-14T13:32:00.000-05:002007-06-14T13:32:00.000-05:00Raw sewage?

I've been feeling more "alive" lately as we prepare for the next big step in our lives, and God's been doing a lot in me lately at the same time.<BR/><BR/>Meanwhile, in the realm of work, since my colleague is training to take over my responsibilities, I'm stuck filing. I could not be more over it, but that's where learning discipline balances things out I suppose.Mariekehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09116558356434794689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26895116.post-35612821876790211102007-06-13T12:25:00.000-05:002007-06-13T12:25:00.000-05:00You are always such an encouragement Mike.
