Roaming Again

This afternoon I finished spending three days at the PC (USA) Moderators' Conference in Louisville, KY, for those who have been elected to serve their presbyteries or synods as moderators. It's been an outstanding experience, and I feel privileged to have met, worshiped with, and interacted with folks from all over our denomination, as well as our denominational leadership. I realized this afternoon, that, although my sabbatical is long over, I am still roaming, sometimes physically, but always spiritually.

God is leading, always, but I am always on the journey. So I have decided to take up the pen (or the keyboard) as the saying goes, and resume my blog. Perhaps it will be particularly significant--at least to me--for the upcoming year as I learn what it means to be Moderator of the Presbytery of the Peaks. Perhaps it will just be theological or spiritual wandering.

Last time I blogged, I invited you to listen. Now I invite you to respond, if you like. Reflect with me on the ways God moves in our lives.

As the old hymn goes:

"O to grace how great a debtor
Daily I’m constrained to be!
Let Thy goodness, like a fetter,
Bind my wandering heart to Thee.
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it,
Prone to leave the God I love;
Here’s my heart, O take and seal it,
Seal it for Thy courts above."

So here I go, roaming again, but bound to God in Jesus Christ.
