Inside Out

Well today my wife Clarinda suggested during her lunch break that I go out back to our patio to work. Every Monday I work and study on the message I'll be teaching on Wednesday to our youth and send parents emails and stuff. I also try to fit in a blog here and there. I do it all inside my house and it's all fine and great (So I thought). What a good idea it was to suggest to go outside! It was great changing up my regular routine on Mondays and just going outside to do everything. For most of us we can get used to the things we do on a regular basis and not even think about changing them. Maybe it's just all we know so we don't think about it and just settle. Just being outside in my back yard on my patio was really relaxing and refreshing. Being outside made me think of alot of things. First, how awesome the creation of God is! The birds flying, the wind and all the sounds I heard other than my A/C unit turning off and on when I'm inside, but in particular our new 4 week series were doing on Wednesday and the challenge to move past the ordinary. You know just by changing something like going outside today really tied into our series. I was able to experience and feel from just being outside, a move from what I do ordinarily to something different that I truly enjoyed! Being outside is great! Even now as I write this I'm outside. You see, God wants us to experience much more in our lives than what we just know or do. All we have to do is move past the ordinary! With fall here already and the cool weather coming I'll be doing this more often. Just not in shorts and a shirt. Peace out Ya'll!
