God "gave" me this scripture for 2010.
It's very familiar, to be sure. I even taught a whole weekend retreat from this one verse -- 4 points, 4 messages. I just stopped typing and found the speaking file folder, even. (Solid Rock Bible Camp, Spring 2002) Thanks to Cyndy, I have very organized files from all of my speaking. And thanks to Jim's company, I shipped 4 boxes of speaking notes to Indonesia! I probably have it all on backed up computer files but sometimes it's nice to hold pages in my hands! I think I'm going to study my notes for the next week. (It's like a step back in time to another person's life, my life of speaking/teaching seems so far away!)
Psalm 1:3
This is how it reads for me for now:
"Make sure that you are firmly planted by fresh streams of water.
It's not your season to yield fruit but that season will come again.
Your leaves will not whither, though.
And you will prosper in what you do right now."
Encouraging words for me ... maybe for you, too?
the joy of sitting, steeping, sipping, and sharing

Is that your own version of Psalm 1:3? Because I love it! I will write it out and post it somewhere I can look at it often. Obviously it speaks to me and where I am now. Those notes, now - that would be interesting...maybe you could write them into one of those "little" books, like Bruce Wilkinson or Randy Alcorn. You could call it "In Waiting" or something like that!
Glad to have you back in the blogosphere. I need to get a post up on mine as well.
BTW, I love iced coffee. It just needs a little sweetening and plenty of cream!
Yeah, that's my version. I'm so glad that it speaks to you in your season of life.
I'm really feeling like I've got to start writing books ... my brain's going in too many directions right now but pray that I can get some sense of what to write. I started a book in Nigeria but am kinda stuck with it ...
Jim loves ices coffee, too! With lots of cream and a little sugar!
I'll get to your blog, today.
