Travels

T left today for a week of travels. He is visiting with friends in Michigan (Marquette area) until the Heart Conference begins in Wisconsin at Northland Baptist Bible College on Tuesday. When that concludes at the end of the week, he will go back to the U.P. to visit and then return home that weekend. He is anticipating snow boarding, skiing, and other winter sports in that snow-filled land. This is his third year attending this conference. I am excited as I pray for him while he is away. Matthew Henry sums it up well: What a good Master do we serve, who has made it our duty to rejoice before him! Let us devote with pleasure to the service of God that portion of our time which he requires, and count his sabbaths and ordinances to be a feast unto our souls. They were not to come empty-handed; so now, we must not come to worship God empty-hearted; our souls must be filled with holy desires toward him, and dedications of ourselves to him; for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.
