Near

July 2019, Christ Mountain Top
Praying
the Scripture, Psalm 145
Children,
Matthew 15.10-20
Message,
Philippians 4.1-9
Unifying
theme of the grab-bag of exhortations:
      “The Lord is near”
Mostly
mis-interpreted to focus on God as Judge
      Joke: two boys (brothers) brought to the
preacher, “Where’s God?”
      Near: Accessible, transforming us as we
submit
            Deuteronomy,
the word is near
UM
ARMY week – GREAT
      And, stressful
      As an introvert
      In the schedule (7:15-10:30 daily)
      People you don’t know
Meditating
on this Scripture and applying it to my own life

Agree
with one another in the Lord (be of the same mind)
      My work team partner
      Names written in the book of life
Let
your gentleness be evident to all
      Music partner’s assumptions
Do
not be anxious about anything
      An introvert losing my alone time
      Departure for a journey
            “The Seafarer”, Anglo-Saxon poem
retold by John Deane
            There is no one born …
            But knows anxiety before a journey
Our
youth, outstanding young people
      “you whom I love and long for, my joy and
my crown”
