Starve a Cold, Feed a Spirit

Summer colds are horrible!

With that said, I have been fighting with the worst cold/flu I have had in years. It hit me on Sunday morning about 2:00 am and I have managed to drag my carcass out of the house long enough to go to the doctor and appear at work on one day of three this week. As of this evening, I will have missed three sermons and Sunday school.

A month ago, I wouldn't have thought twice about it. Missed church? I will just go next Sunday. Now, I really wish I could be with my church family and feed my spirit. I never could understand how people were in church each time the doors were open. Now that I allowed myself to be open to it, I can see how immersion in the fellowship is not only fun but it's imperative to fuel the faith. We have to keep the fire of our faith burning bright, if not just for our own salvation, but to be a beacon for others to find Christ.

I look forward to Sunday so I can get a hearty service, and of course...go back for seconds!
