following Jesus

OK, so, I’ve been thinking and reading a lot lately about following Jesus.  Not as in, “Should I follow Jesus or not?” but more accurately, “How do I follow Jesus more closely?”

I’ve been reading some Clive, Soren, and Dietrich.

I think what we have here is another case of simple, but not easy.

I’m preaching about this very topic this weekend at the Calvary Midtown service (at the State High South Bldg, Sunday morning 11 am.)  I’m pretty excited to share what I’ve been learning from the call of Jesus’ first disciples.

I’ve also noticed that I continually misspell Jesus and follow when I type them.  It’s not that I don’t know how to spell the words; my fingers don’t move as fast as my brain.  That, plus I’m typing with 7 fingers instead of 8, which means that I could use a litle slack here.  And some help shoveling the driveway the next time it snows real big.  Or ice…ice is a bear, man.  It took me several hours of chipping away at the stuff to get the driveway clear yesterday.  But I didn’t need to go to the gym to get my ab workout, so that’s a bonus.

OK, I’m rambling.  So I’m out…but let me leave you with a question:

What are you going to do differently this year to help you follow Jesus (there they are again) more closely?
