late entry for Tues, 4-28-09

I took Ruth to swim lessons, and she did great. She was good about jumping into the pool, letting me put her on her back, and going underwater. I took a nap before going into work. Lots of "flu symptoms" patients coming in.

Philippians 3:8-9 "What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ—the righteousness that comes from God and is by faith."
-
I want to view this world as it is: a loss. Everything on this earth is temporary. If I can remember that my faith in Christ is the only thing that matters, then the silly things that seem important in my daily life will be put in its place. I remember Dusty teaching from this chapter during the university ministry days, especially verses 2 through 5. Time has flown by.
