"Blueberry pie time" by Gregory Crofford for Monday, 19 May 2016
Sometimes, you just have to take a break from theology. Blueberry pie is as good (and delicious) an excuse as any!Baking is relaxing and scratches my creativity itch. I used be totally nervous that I would add a little bit too much of an ingredient and ruin the whole thing. Now, I'm much more go-with-the-flow. It's tough to mess things up irretrievably.
Maybe there's a spiritual application there...
We come to God all nervous, thinking we've totally messed things up, and God says: "It's not so bad." Then he adds the right proportion of ingredients we needed to balance things out. The end result? Delicious.
To my regular readers...
Sorry things have been a bit quiet here at "Theology in Overalls" lately. Amy and I are only one week away from the movers coming, boxing up our belongings and shipping them to Africa Nazarene University in Nairobi. We arrive there in early August to begin our new teaching (Greg) and editing (Amy) assignments. These have been chocked-full days, especially since we also have a region-wide conference for our Nazarene educators sandwiched in-between, plus two months in the U.S. on home assignment (deputation) during June and July...good but hectic times.
On the other hand, I have been writing. Just 2 weeks ago, I sent off a short manuscript to a publisher, and should know within a few weeks whether it will be green-lighted. Topic? Ecclesiology. We'll see...
Thanks for reading TIO. May Father, Son, and Holy Spirit shower you and yours today with the divine presence.
