My first real post

I figure, since my "first" post was only an introduction, that I should really post something that has meaning to someone outside of the church office. Well, where do I start? I've been reading a really challenging book by C.J. Mahany called Humilty. It's a gut check for me to read something that challenges me on how prideful I am. One of the most insightful statements C.J. makes is in regards to the Cross. One of the ways he practices humility is to focus on the cross at all times.

If you think about it, when we are constantly thinking about Christ's death and resurrection, we can't help but feel thankful and unworthy of it. When we put ourselves in that mindset on a daily basis, we're constantly looking up instead of looking down to others. I know that this is a tall task, but hopefully, with some practice, it can be a daily habit of my life to bask in the presence of a Savior who loves me enough to die for me. I'll be chewing on this for a while. Maybe you should too?

Welcome to the 'sphere. Condolences on landing in Greenville. If you ever need to detox from your ministry environment, engage in rational and intelligent conversation, or reconnect with civilization, feel free to give me a call. They have phones in Greenville, right?

I've been surfing online greater than three hours these days, yet I never found any fascinating article like yours. It's beautiful worth
enough for me. Personally, if all site owners and
bloggers made excellent content as you did, the web can be much
more useful than ever before.
