It has been amazing in these past four weeks of physical therapy (following my knee surgery) how difficult it has been to maintain my disciplined routine of writing. However, I have been so blessed to make some new friends and learn an incredible amount by hanging out 3 days a week with people facing physical challenges such as surgery, injury, and chronic illness.
Today, as I went for my Friday visit to the gym (therapy punishment arena), I was greeted by darkness in the room. I was plenty dissapointed, but was somewhat relieved that another guy showed up as well...so I wasn't the dense guy who missed the announcement that they would be closed today. But on to the point...
We found ourselves in the parking lot talking about a topic that had come up on Monday. He shared about what had happened during the rest of the week in his life and, on at least 4 occassions, I was able to share a Biblical truth from the text of my sermon for Sunday. Now I know that I cannot use his life as an illustration on all 4 points Sunday morning. However, it sure is great to be reminded that the Word of God is so practical in our daily lives and that it can make a difference, not only in our eternity, but in the joy/satisfaction of our every day journey.
