Day 4 - nice discipleship!

Day 4 already. Learned something very precious today "God wants to redeem our lives not exchange them." This is especially precious when doing a blog like this and you discover that your discipleship is rather bland.
Its nice, but not great.
Its certainly not very radical - so at this point in my year I have to classify it as nice!
Yuck.
Take today for example.
Let the boys take the car and gave them money to finish off Christmas holidays skiing - lots of dads would do this and even dads that don't profess to be disciples of Jesus Christ.
Started today on my knees as I committed the recurrence of my health issues back to God and his healing - faith not fear.
Opened the Scriptures and sought God.
Did a random and anonymous act of kindness.
Worked hard.

Its nice discipleship, but hardly revolutionary, 'conquer the world for Jesus' kind of discipleship.

So Day 4 ends .......fly to Seattle tomorrow - hopefully I'll be more radical than nice!
