If someone is addicted to Thanksgiving leftovers, can they quit cold turkey?

About this faith and trust in God thing. I’ve been thinking about Abraham. If ever there was an immediate future that looked dark it was when God told Abraham to go kill his son as a sacrifice to God. A good God telling a man to kill his son. That’s hard for me to swallow even sitting here 4,000 years later. Can you imagine actually being in that impossible situation. The amount of faith he had in God is unfathomable to me. But somehow he had enough trust to at least go through the motions of preparing this sacrifice. Of course, God didn’t let him go through with it, and Abraham not only was provided with a wonderful alternative (the ram), he was also rewarded big-time, if you look later on in that chapter. Trust.

AHQ rehearsed again last night. Actually, we mostly just recorded. We got some decent stuff, a good take of the Stand in Awe Medley and also a possible keeper of The Invocation. Hopefully they’ll stand up to the stiff day-after-recorded test.

Tonight I’m going to check out the Campus Crusade meeting here on campus.
