Well, I've had the trailer for three weeks but I have yet to move in. There were a few things I needed to buy so when my SSDI check came in a couple days ago, I went on a shopping spree.

I bought a bed, sheets, microwave, toilet, septic hose, and a bunch of other stuff. I got the washer and dryer up on their pallets ( shed for them comes later), I was going to connect the water, we got the propane set up so I could cook in the new trailer, and I planned to get all my things out of...

Why are we so lackadaisical in our search for God? One possible answer is that we have yet to experience the beauty and power of God's manifest presence. Therefore, we don't understand that the reward of our seeking is worth every bit of our effort, and more.

"One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to inquire in His temple." - Psalm 27:4
