Excerpt: The Pursuit of God, The Human Thirst for the Divine, A.W. Tozer

O God, I have tasted Thy goodness, and it has both satisfied me and made me thirsty for more. I am painfully conscious of my need of further grace. I am ashamed of my lack of desire. O God, The Triune God, I want to want Thee; I long to be filled with longing; I thirst to be made more thirsty still. Show me Thy glory, I pray Thee, that so I may know Thee indeed. Begin in mercy a new work of love within me. Say to my soul, "Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away." Then give me grace to rise and follow Thee up from this misty lowland where I have wondered so long. In Jesus' name. Amen

And......Just like that......

......we are almost two weeks into the new year!

Happy 2020, everyone!  I pray your new year has gotten off to a GREAT start!  How many resolutions have you broken?  Hmmm?  I can honestly say that I have not broken a single one!  But, it's like the lottery, you've got to play if you want to win!  In other words, I don't make resolutions, so I don't break any!  One thing I am trying to do better is putting my Bible reading and prayer BEFORE I do anything else!  So far, so good, except for today.  But, I'll be doing it as soon as I finish this post!

So, here is what we have been up to for the past two weeks..................
