A few weeks ago I asked a number of people to join me.
Not for the fun of it — not for fame — not even for fortune!
When I was around 16, I started to memorize a book . Thankfully it was not a John Grisham novel of multiple pages and varied twists and turns. This book was 4 chapters and one main theme. “Jesus in Me” (JIM). Someone has already guessed the biblical book of Philippians.
35 years later I’m still trying to digest what I was memorizing. I decided to see if others were in the same boat. Until the end of December I asked them to row along with me. Asking themselves what it meant to have “Jesus In Me”.
Every minute of every day. I’ve wonder how that looks when they are eating cheesecake. Or while they are weeding the garden, grumbling “Is this Jesus in me?”
I’m trying to watch less TV (although my wife can attest that I struggle with this area – my thorn in the flesh, or is that prickle in the eye!). I’m trying to balance people interactions with an eye to being a servant more than needing my own space. And daily I’m finding new approaches.
For the last few weeks I have handed out a weekly reminder. This week I’ll start sending out weekly emails. Would you like to join me? If so, leave a comment or contact me.
