There are times when you  and I wish that we could learn without cost.  These thoughts usually pass as we look back through our lives and realize that not many good things have come to us without cost.  As I began to read Andy Stanley’s book “The Principle of the Path” I knew I was in for one of those cost/learning experiences.  So, for the last several weeks I have lived out the principle of the path in my life, the life of my family and the life of WFMC.  I wish I could say I was getting somewhere but I must admit this is hard.  I knew God had my attention and some things needed to change but I did not know the details.  Well, now that I am in the middle of the details I don’t like it.  Apparently I have grown so accustomed to the easy life that I would rather sit on the porch and wait for its return rather than struggle to change paths.  I find myself wishing God would make me the exception.  I know that I must change but don’t want to.  I share this because you may be feeling the same way and I am asking you to pray for me.  Pray that I will have the courage to change.  Pray that I will set aside the things God does for me and pick up an all-consuming love for Him.
