Checking In, Checking Up, Checking Out

Since I'm going to be taking a few days off to rest and to attend the Sovereign Grace Leadership Conference, and then be blog-inaccessible for a few more days after that, I thought I'd check in, check up, and then check out before I go.

First on the check in matter; I hope you are walking in the Word and ways of the Lord. I read the story of Elijah this morning (1 Kings 17ff), and was struck by how much of a Word-Driven Life his was. Whenever God spoke he moved, he acted, he spoke. Read the few chapters recounting his life and you'll see that the Word of the Lord was the driving force of his life.

Are our lives Word driven like his? Just checking in.

As for the checking up part of this, I've got a little favor to ask of each of those who read this blog: would you please click comments, then in the box simply type your first name, then if you don't have your own account, just click anonymous and then send. That's all I ask: your first name!

I'm just checking up on whether any/many are reading the blog so I can have a bit of a sense of how many it's connecting to. Would you please do me that small 15-second favor? Thanks.

And now for the checking out part: I'll be in touch in a few days. In the meantime, I might have one or two blogs stored up to have them sent along to you. Also I might have a couple of my friends post in my absence. That way we'll stay connected, even though I've checked out.

God bless you folks--and again please send me your first name, so I can know if any/many are out there reading!

Thanks.
