cogitatio

slo-mo

In praise of process. For anyone who doesn't know me that well I am working in the bush again, I have for the past four years and this year is no diferent than the last few, except for me. One thing that I have constantly been mulling over is living my Christian life and wondering how that affects me in my everyday comings and goings. Eureka I believe that I am witness to my own question as I look back at my tree-planting career. Of course I am older and wiser now, but I have also noticed changes in my attitude towards setbacks and my interactions with other people which I can only attribute to the "slo-mo" process of becoming more Christ like.

I am torn between whether we need to keep asking what it means to be a Christian, I mean we know what it means shouldn't we just do it and how just doing it applies to our modern culture. I think that sometimes we just have to shut up and do it. A harsh view but a reality that I think we need to face. I know I am not perfect, but I am encouraged by the positive changes in my life, especially If I must say the changes in my atitude which have been a long time in coming. It takes many years to unlearn bad habits and only now can I see the truth in that phrase.

Sorry for the tardiness of my postes I havn't had internet access for some time (a month) and now I am limited to 15 minutes, yikes.

I miss everyone at home, and my friends at the embassy, especially my office comrades, I am thinking of you all and wishing you well.

With prayer.

Steve
