Wholeness and wellness are more than matters of the physical body. They are exercises of the mind, emotions and soul as well. Today has been a good day for all four.
My sermon this morning was on Psalm 63, about King David's experience in the desert of Judah and God's faithfulness to him as he went through it, physically, emotionally and spiritually. God used the desert to remind Kind David that He can be found in the life that is there, even in the darkness of the night. Though David was in "a dry and thirsty land where there is no water," the king had seen God in His sanctuary and that provided an oasis for his soul and mind.
In Sunday School, I taught the junior high kids from the Book of Ruth and helped them tie together how the young life a foreign girl can teach them how to live for God in their school.
After that, I went to Hardee's for dinner. Karen had taken her mother to a family reunion today so she wasn't at Church. At Hardee's, I worked the crossword in the Sunday Star, did the sudoku and wordy-gurdy. Then it was time to visit some of our shut-ins.
I had great visits with several shut-ins today also. They are wonderful people. I wish I could spend more time with them.
This evening I did some pretty strenuous yard work digging out the edges of the sidewalk. I got a good start but we have a lot of sidewalk.
I also got in a 2.1 mile walk-jog, with about 1.8 of it straight jogging. It felt really good, the nightfall was beautiful and the stars inspired me, as King David mused in Psalm 63: "I think of You in the watches of the night."
