So I'm in our living room sitting on our green couch. If I was an uber-blogger I'd throw in a few pics but alas I'm not and our green couch will have to live in your imagination...
When I'm at home this is my spot. Not much unlike my Dad sitting on the couch when he got home from work either reading the newspaper or watching the TV. In my case I'm sitting with my mac on my lap...
What catches my eye as I survey my world is our orchid plant. My parents bought it for us when they came for a visit a couple of years ago. It will soon be be in full bloom. We weren't certain if we'd keep it going when it arrived. A quick search on the internet gave us a few clues for its care. It arrived in bloom and we then followed the instruction and cut it back and waited. 8 months later it was blooming again. That lasted a few months. Another pruning and 8 more months of waiting and here it comes again.
The local church is a lot more complex than an orchid. At the same time finding new ways to stimulate growth are always just a few clicks away. The question then comes, "Is this the right thing for here and now?" You don't care for an orchid like you care for an hibiscus. The week-end we are doing some "cultivating" type of work at the CEP. One plants, the other waters and God gives the growth. I'm praying that God will bless our efforts.
