So how is it going? 

I mean how is it really going? I asked myself that question today. I don't think I have been taking very many "soul" breaks in the last little while. I guess I just forget about my human need to slow the pace. Obviously, I slow the pace when I fall asleep, but other than getting shut eye I find it hard to just step back and take a "soul temperature" reading.

During my ride to class in downtown Vancouver, I was reading this good book called "The Cross Centred Life" by CJ Mahaney. I was really struck by how much I get stuck in legalism and burdened by condemnation. The gospel and the message of the cross hold so much freedom which I forget about or don't realize the power in. I get snowed under by my misled beliefs about salvation, grace and freedom. Anyhow, I was really encouraged by the message that "Christ died for my sin."  

So let me ask again, how are you doing?
