stewardship, again
Monday evening,
I've been reading up on Simon Peter using wikipedia. While I have learned a great deal about what people think about Peter's past I've learned even more about how wikipedia works.
It reminds me of Bill Clinton in a very small way. (No, I'm not a fan of his.) One criticism of Clinton that I recall in particular was that he asked for advice too much. He said that he liked to know what everyone thought before making a decision. While I understood his philosophy I didn't respect him more for it.
Monday morning;
It's ironic that the outside light that always reminded me to be a good steward has burned out and I haven't taken the time to replace the bulb.
I've been dragging my feet through daily obedience/stewardship like every chore was changing the cat liter box!
I think the "B" in obedience stands for budgets. I just can't let go of the fantasy that money grows on trees though the bank is grateful for my efforts.
I'm thinking of studying up on Peter. I'll use the Bible as my reference. There are 158 occurrences of Peter's name in the Bible not including the two books he wrote. I used http://www.blueletterbible.com/ as my source.
I had been thinking of Peter as a man of passion and action, who acts first and thinks later, who chooses brawn over brain, and who might not get an "A" in academics but certainly would get one for effort. Recently I have noticed that he was also a man who walked with Jesus and still fell from grace then was personally forgiven by Jesus. So now I'm listening.
