If you know me, which I'm assuming you do, you're thinking, "Man, already he's already got fire all over the place in this thing." But not to worry, not all is as it appears. Let me explain.
I believe it my first year at Senior Camp at Camp McDowell and Tom Poyner was on program staff. On one particular day he was talking about the Holy Spirit, and how fire is often given as a symbol for it. I don't remember the whole talk he gave, but he "challenged" us, I guess you could say. "Why not be like fire? Why not be like the Holy spirit for the people around you?" So that's where that came from
So I refresh that challenge in myself, as well as pass it on to you. Why not be like fire? Why not be like the Holy Spirit, filling people with life and warmth? Go out and empower people and give them courage to empower others to do good in the world. To be a beacon for those in dark places. Speak in tongues to people who might not understand, whether they speak the same language or not. Why not be like fire?
Maybe I could get used to sermon writing. Who knows.

I had a friend going to VA Seminary, and they let us go to class with her one day.
ReplyDeleteIf you would like to monitor a days classes (or maybe even a week's worth? who knows), your dad and I were in EYC with one of the bishops of VA - we can ask....
Oh, and he went to McDowell too - so he'll definately get it.
