Last night we had a really sweet time at church. We finished up a study on the old tesatment tabernacle and finally "entered" the Holy of Holies. It was a beautiful time as we visualized what it must have been like for the priests to have such an awesome assignment from God.
As we talked about the shekinah glory, we had a very intense prayer time and then finished the service with communion. It was very moving and brought some things I've been dealing with this week full circle. How I wish we could experience that "shekinah glory" every service...
I have to admit though, I can't hlep but think about Indiana Jones and Raiders of the Lost Ark when we talk about all that stuff. :) I know, I know... back to reality.
I really enjoy studying the old testament. I think it gets pushed to the back of the shelf too often. Lots of good stuff in there.
On a completely different note...
This morning when I looked in the bathroom mirror, I raised up one arm and thought, "Holy cow! Who's flabby arm is that???" I mean, the full-fledged, jiggle-when-you-wiggle, hangy-down arm flab. Like many of my lovely, beautiful friends, I'm a big girl, but that was a new discovery for me. I may be big, but I've never been flabby.
I love my friends dearly, but I'm starting to think I've become complacent about how I look and how I take care of myself... based on what everyone else is doing or looks like. It's unintentional, but dangerous. Becoming too comfortable because it's "acceptable" to everyone who "loves" me ("you're beautiful just the way you are...") has taken a toll on this old body of mine. And now I have flab issues. :(
Not a nice picture is it? Tell me about it. Now I'm going to have to do something about it so I don't have to look at it anymore. Guess it's time to break out the Total Gym again or get some weights...
Maybe I'll just take down the mirror.

Sweet-Careful, there, you're starting to sound all pentecostal!
Sour-Wouldn't it be nice if all we had to do was take down the mirror???
