My root canal yesterday was a success! The dentist found
infection in the tooth and in an abscess below. The root canal saved the tooth.
The procedure was relatively pain-free, and my insurance covered 80% of the
cost. Those were my three concerns, and I am glad it is over. I will not dread
the next one, if another one is needed. I am now looking forward to the rest of
this day.
Even though I returned to my office at Wesley on
Saturday, and had a full day of ministry on Sunday, it feels like today is really
the first day back to normality after the college mission trip. I will read
scripture, prepare my action list after reviewing my calendar, and get to the
office early enough to write the pastor’s pen and prepare for our worship
planning meeting.
Exodus 19 - Moses prepares the people for the presence of
God at Mt. Sinai. Even though he was clear about staying a safe distance away
from the mountain, God sent him back down to reiterate that precaution and to
bring Aaron up with him. This chapter reminds me how very serious is our life
in God’s presence, and how careful I must be to follow all of his instructions.
Guide me today, most Holy God as I walk on the holy
ground around Wesley United Methodist Church, around Springfield, and into the
ends of the earth, teaching your Word and sharing the ministry of reconciliation.
Guard me from sin, from presumption, from selfishness.
