back in the saddle

So it when I checked in I see it has been quite a while since I posted anything here. I know that is not a good thing when it comes to blogging but that is the way life goes sometimes.

Starting a new study on stewardship and will be preaching it as well so hopefully will get some good input and will maybe even change my perspective on stewardship as a Christian.

For this Sunday September 23, 2012 have scriptures as  Ecclesiastes 1:1-11;  Romans 5:1-8; Mark 12:41-44.

For the moment just letting them sink in a bit but want to approach from the perspective of the Gospel reading and that God watches and we need to understand that everything about our stewardship is known.
What you give is known.
What you hold back is known.
The way you use what you hold back is also known.

For some of us a brand new thought what does it mean in the grand scheme of things?
Does this make stewardship more or less personal?
Will you sleep better or worse?

There are a gillion questions that come to mind here so help me journey through some of them and see what we find on the other side.
