it appears MSM this quarter is focusing upon the spiritual disciplines, as explained by richard foster's book, as well as Dallas Willard's; wonderful! as if the timing couldn't be better, considering i'm trying to right myself onto the right track at about the same time by beginning to REALLY practice the disciplines again! the funny part is that there's NOT going to be a sermon on fasting though, but then again... it seems a lotta msm'rs like to eat...

of course, dif ppl, dif disciplines... but i used to think fasting was kinda useless too. the truth of it is, i think it's definitely a lot more useful than i used to perceive.

for me, i'll concentrate upon fasting, prayer and meditation for the majority of this year(i'll let worship come as it is, not try to put a priority on it yet)... just a long year of trying to actually hear god more.
