Day 42 - trying to listen.

Day 42 and I spent much of the day travelling and therefore reading.
First time in Portland - disappointed, thought it would have been more than it was.
Most of my reading is on church, church leadership or theology. Reading a book called Church 3.0. Unsure about it. Never like when history is written in a presumptuous way; don't like it when postmoderns present their solution with modern insistence while criticizing everything modern (and I'm more pomo than mojo!)

Reading about Jesus is not the same as following Jesus. It can help, but i cannot claim that my intentional follow was reading about Jesus. I could say it was 'learning about Jesus', but perhaps that's playing semantics.

So today's intentional follow?

Not so much reading about Jesus, but reading His Word. Habakkuk in particular. WOW, it was powerful and inspiring. Read the whole book out loud (only three chapters!).

God spoke.
I hope I heard.

My intentional follow - read, try to listen, hear.
