"For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do." (EPH 2:10, NIV)
So, at the risk of sounding obvious, some thoughts from the verse that I really appreciate at this time in my life.
1 - I am God's "workmanship". Like a work of art. Flawed, yes, but being moulded to be more like Christ. Not always a self-evident fact when shaving in the mirror in the morning
s!
2 - I am "in Christ" now - that's he best place in
the universe for me to be; but it wasn't primarily for my own benefit but to "do good works" - to be fruitful and express faith in whatever God puts in my path....
3 - "which God prepared in advance". That's a statement worth pondering and should lead me to prayer and praise. When I look at the crazy path my life has taken - from Scotland to England to Portugal to America to _________ (please God, fill in the blank soon!) I do know that God has being going ahead, preparing me to bump into special people and do stuff I never thought I would...
What's next, Father God? And, give me the daily patience to be faithful right now in awesome Chesapeake, VA!

Wow, this looks great. I have not spent time in Ephesians in awhile. Kathryn wanted the address of my blog, which is somewhat circumscribed in interest, so here it is:
