Church

God's purposes will ripen fast
Unfolding every hour
The bud may have a bitter taste
But sweet will be the flower
Blind unbelief is sure to err
And scan His work in vain
God is His own interpreter
And he will make it plain

~God Moves, William Cowper (1774)

The above is an excerpt from a hymn we sang this morning at the Village Church. I was visiting with a friend because I think it's time. It is time to get serious about plugging into a community. I love Redeemer, and I LOVE the teaching, but 1) Tim Keller is not teaching this summer (summer vacation?) and 2) it's very big and I usually go alone. Anyway, this morning the music was beautiful ~ that hymn especially touched my heart ~ the service was warm and friendly and I left feeling very refreshed. So, yeah, I am thinking about it -- because lately, I am craving God and fellowship and community. And it's time.
