Every parent has heard those words. Traveling with three children guaranteed lots of questions ranging from estimated arrival times to how close to insanity are we? We usually arrived at the latter before the former.
What about your Christian life? Are you there yet? If not, how close are you to your next destination? How do you know if you are making any progress on this road trip called life? Just where is "there"? If you think this blog is going to figure all this out, you have far more confidence in me than I do.
Lets at least take a stab at one thought: Am I any closer to the Lord today than a few months ago? Answer the following: 1. Are you growing in your devotional life, prayer and Bible study, etc? 2. Do you wake up Sunday morning excited about going to church? Have you ever felt that way? 3. If you let your best "Christian" friend answer this question, what would they say? Not sure...well go ask them. 4. Can you think of anything at all that has improved in your walk with God? Anything?
That was kind of tough. I am not there yet. Let's walk together up this hill. Maybe together we can make the "Summit" before its all over on this side of the river. Hmmm..."The Summit". Someone should start a church with that name.

My "walk" has been a series of curves and drop offs my entire life. When I was younger I was too smart for my own good and had pretty much everything figured out. My "church" experiences left me bitter and synical about religion and dubious of God. Now older and having the benefit of hind sight I can see the miracles and wonders of my human experience. God has blessed me and protected me in ways I never expected or deserve. I don't read the Bible on regular basis as I know I should. My wife is very good about that and a great example of the disipline of daily devotion. I do pray more that I ever have. I have come to believe that I'm not praying into thin air but to my Creator and Protector, and that His Amazing Grace is mine forever and is free through the life and death of Jesus Christ. There is nothing I can do to earn it or loose it. The Holy Spirit lives in each and every one of us. It makes us alive in Him. For those of us "humans beings" that can see that and live our lives acccordingly...we will be saved. Praise God!
