My first day back at work after a holiday is always very difficult…I always come home after work feeling very disconnected as events take place while I am gone that often reinforces some of the feelings I think I have put behind me and they rear their ugly head again! I guess there are some things that one just doesn’t completely get over.

Had a great visit with Jordon, Wendy and Mark this afternoon…great conversation and great coffee…I came with no money so Jordon had to buy me a coffee…thanks!

I’ve been thinking and pondering alot lately on the whole concept of love. When Jesus was asked by a church leader (Pharisee) what is the greatest commandment, Jesus replied, “Love the Lord your God with all of your heart, all of your soul, all of your mind, and all of your strength, this is the first and greatest commandment, and the second is like unto it, Love your neighbour as yourself.” Jesus then goes on to tell his disciples in the upper room that He gives them a greater commandment and that is to love one another as I have loved you. Jesus then prays in John 17 that we would come to know that God the Father loves us as much as He loves Jesus. Paul writes at the end of Romans 8 that nothing can separate us from the love of God that is through Christ Jesus our Lord. Paul also writes in 1 Cor 13 in the first few verses that we can have spiritual gifts in that we can give our body to be burned and have faith to move mountains, but if we do not love these gifts are worth nothing. Paul talks in Colossians about the clothing we are to put on like humility, forgiving one another…and end up with saying that overall we are to be clothed with love. God so loved the world that He gave…

I see so much judgment around me and also in me and am wondering if I am more about judging or more about loving?

Just some thoughts going through my head…
