Jordan - Luke 24

Done with Luke!!

Jesus says to the two: "Oh, how foolish you are, and how slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have declared!" (25).
Later, after their eyes are opened, the two say to each other: "Were not our hearts burning within us while he was talking to us on the road..." (32).

I underlined these verses this morning on the train noting how odd it was that these two disciples could have such conflicting feelings of the heart, but I didn't quite know if it was something to write about.  However, tonight at the Carlson's home a small group of us were talking about the results Pastor Matthew's Natural Church Development survey and Faith's weakest area is Passionate Spirituality.  Our best area is Inspiring Worship Service.  So, interestingly enough, our hearts burn on Sundays from 8am-ish to 12ish and then go through gradual cool (slow) down period until the next Sunday.

For me, this blog through the Bible experience is really helping me stay spiritually connected throughout the week.  This is my personal time to dwell in The Word.  I'm hoping that over the next year I can work on more interpersonal spiritual relationships outside the web.  (Although, I know that people are reading this and this small community is connecting in some way, its still more of an editorial column to this point).

Tonight at the Carlson's was fun and I didn't even realize how fun until I noticed how Erin and I were talking about ideas etc. the whole ride home...

On to Acts!!
