Hero Worship

Worship is perhaps too strong of a word; however I have spent a lot of time outside of worship pondering the lives of the Old Testament heroes. Over and over again I am struck by the ordinary nature of their lives. Ordinary men and women who choose to have missional lives. Ordinary until he/she engages the mission of God. The last couple of weeks Daniel's uncompromising witness has caused me to look at how I spend my time... my energy. Maybe a better way to say it is, What gets my focus? It is easy to say that God is my primary focus. Easier to say than to live out. I am embarking on a small group experience this fall. Vicki Muller and I will be leading the Companions in Christ group starting in September. Initially I thought it would simply be good for me to do. After the series on Heroes, I know I need the weekly small group experience as much for me to experience one as to lead one. Who and what gets your time? This isn't a sell job for small group ministry. It is a strong encouragement to go deeper in your faith life. We make time for what is important in our lives. Think about it. On the Journey, Alecia
