Notes from the Road
By Jeremy | October 1, 2007
In between Fulton Street last weekend and Reload this weekend, on Wednesday I had the privilege of speaking at North Park University's chapel service, lunching with undergrads during Chapel Chat, guest teaching one of Prof. Ginny Olson's youth ministry classes, finally meeting Prof. Song-Chan Rah (and discovering that we share scores of mutual friends!), and dining with Prof. Olson and her TAs. After chapel, campus Pastor Judy Peterson invited me to join her and the University Ministries staff, along with a couple dozen seminary students, for an architectural boat cruise down the Chicago River and Lake Michigan's waterfront. It was the first of hopefully many more trips to downtown Chi-Town.
Pastor Judy is a trip, literally. Her graduate school "internship" in 1999 was to walk across America more than 4,000 miles, from Seattle to Miami, with just $400 to her name when she started and more faith in her heart than most of us will ever see in our lifetimes. Her goal as a relatively new believer and a seminary student was to learn how to "walk with God," figuring she wouldn't be able to teach others how to follow Jesus authentically if she couldn't speak from experience. 4,000 miles later, she had learned to hear his voice, relying on providence and grace every step of the 12-month trek. Excerpts of her prayer journal from the journey are posted online here.
The whole earth was brown. I'm told South Dakota is always blanketed in an earth tone but it seemed especially dull that day. It didn’t help that the terrain was flat as far as the eye could see. Well not entirely flat, I could see a small rise in the road down about a mile or two. I decided to make that my first goal. I'd like to tell you that walking for Jesus is a piece of cake, or even that everyday I experience something spectacular, but the reality is that there is a whole lot of earth tone in my walk with Jesus. Most of the days that I get up and walk are more about a decision than a desire, setting small goals to keep myself encouraged. But there are those days, those days that God gives me a peek at the brilliant and the breathtaking. I won't make this a rule or anything. But I would say that most of those radical experiences happen after I've made the decision to walk in the earth tone world.sex clips 89amatuer anal sex70 s porn starsamatuer pics sex321 sexchat
