I had a lot going on in my heart and in my mind, and even in college group tonight, there was just something that was distracting me from being fully engaged in the message and in worship [I know, I know... I'm the pastor but hear me out]. I found that at many moments throughout the day, I just had to keep giving to God whatever it was that arose to the surface of my heart and mind and it was just a constant thing, you know?
So anyways, after our meeting tonight, Tiff Hong organized a game of dodgeball in the gym for those that wanted to hang out. I decided to stay since even as a young boy, I pretty much enjoyed anything having to do with balls [don't take that the wrong way]. What I didn’t expect though is that after numerous times of launching the ball at full strength with my off-hand and also getting hit many times over, I had a clear mind for the first time that day.
Now I’m not proposing that we should play dodgeball to solve all our problems but i am saying that on my drive home, I was able to pray with a clarity and a simplicity that i had lacked prior to dodgeball. And so I want to thank our good Lord for the game of dodgeball as it helped to clear my mind so that I could end today on a good note. Thanks also to Tiff for organizing that fun hangout, which i hope was a nice break for some of you from your studies and other responsibilities. Hope you guys are doing well in the midst of everything you have going on.
Chris
