on a side ...strange songs we sing on Sunday.

Before I begin...or even if I do...begin to talk about acedia...I need to have an aside. BTW...acedia is a heavy subject and to delve into how this affects me and when it affects me may require a depth of thinking I am hesitant to begin.

This has been a weird summer in that I still am working at least 2 days a week. Going into the office to do paperwork and to follow up on students and their agents makes me  a bit disgruntled.  Not because I have this job which I enjoy, nor that students are coming which is necessary...it's just mid-July and don't feel like I have had summer yet. Whine, grumble....
I am still training for my 5K..which has been pretty amazing for me in my hatred for running. I am my own trainer..you should hear me on the treadmill.
 "Come on, Heidi, you can run this...it isn't that bad, just 2 more minutes....not even a song."
So for the body part...I am in training.
For the soul part...I am also reading every day. These two work in tandem for me like both wheels of a bike. The other Sunday we were singing the song..."One day in your house is better that thousands elsewhere...

One thing I ask,
And I would seek,
To see Your beauty
To find You in
The place Your glory dwells
(One thing I ask)
One thing I ask
And I would seek,
To see Your beauty
To find You in
The place Your glory dwells

What struck me ...# 1. it is strange that we sing a song about That temple...#2..that His Glory no longer dwells in That temple but in this temple...me!  I am His beauty and His glory...Think on that next time you sing this song. Changes everything doesn't it? It makes me more aware of how I treat this temple, how I feed this place where the Glory of God dwells. I guess church on Sunday is where His Glory dwells because we are all there...It is a strange song to sing anyway...catchy tune though.
