Chess Master August 5, 2015
We, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells.
2 Peter 3:13
In high school I took pride in my ability to play chess. I joined the chess club, and during lunch hour I could be found sitting at a table with other nerds, poring over books with titles like Classic King Pawn Openings. I studied techniques, won most of my matches, and put the game aside for 20 years. Then I met a truly fine chess player who had been perfecting his skills long since high school, and I learned what it is like to play against a master. Although I had complete freedom to make any move I wished, none of my strategies mattered very much. His superior skill guaranteed that my purposes inevitably ended up serving his own.
Perhaps there is a spiritual picture for us here. God grants us freedom to rebel against His original design, but even as we do so we end up serving His eventual goal of restoration (Rom. 8:21; 2 Peter 3:13; Rev. 21:1). This transformed the way I view both good and bad things. Good thingssuch as health, talent, and moneyI can present to God as offerings to serve His purposes. And bad thingsdisability, poverty, family dysfunction, failurecan be redeemed as the very instruments that drive me to God.
With the Grand Master, victory is assured, no matter how the board of life may look at any given moment.
Father, Im grateful that in all of life Your purposes are being accomplished. May I learn to have open handsto accept whatever You give to me and whatever You take from me. Help me to trust Your heart.
When we cant see Gods hand, we can trust His heart.
As followers of Jesus we look forward in hope to the new heaven and the new earth where we will spend eternity in loving adoration and communion with the triune God and with each other. Todays passage from Pauls letter to the Romans suggests that reconciliation and restorationthe undoing of all the damage of sinis not limited to humanity. Gods good creation (see Gen. 1) is also groaning under the weight of sin and is waiting for the ultimate realization of salvation provided by God through Christ. J.R. Hudberg

You Crave a Physical Adventure |
Life has gotten a bit unchallenging lately, and you really would like to push yourself to the limit. You want an adventure that gets your blood pumping. You want to test yourself and see if you have what it takes.
Whether you're climbing a tall mountain or sky diving, you won't feel like you've had an adventure unless you've accomplished something big. You love the confidence you get from taking risks... as well as the bragging rights! |

I have not seen it posted anywhere but two members of the Air Force Special Operations Command from Hurlburt Field were killed at Eglin in a training accident.
Not sure of the details but it was in a free fall exercise. One died yesterday and the other today.
They are in a dangerous business and not just when they are in combat.

Hi Luv.

You Crave a Romantic Adventure
Life has gotten a bit uninspired for you lately, and you’re looking to fall in love with someone - either for the first time or all over again.
You want to share an adventure with someone special. There’s nothing like lingering over the perfect dessert or perfect view with the person you love.
You belong in a romantic city. Or a romantic beach. Or a romantic cabin. Just as long as you and your sweetie can focus on each other.
An amazing vacation will make you feel closer to the one you love. You want to make memories that will last a lifetime.

I would like to take an extended trip to Israel.

You Crave a Cultural Adventure |
Life has gotten a bit routine for you lately, and you'd like to broaden your perspective. You want to learn and grow from your adventure. You want to know the place you visit as well as your home town.
You are an open minded and curious traveler. You're all about immersing yourself in local customs, no matter how foreign they are. Whenever you're in a new place, you try to speak the language, eat the food, and meet the locals. After all, that's what traveling is all about! |

Hi Luv!
It turns out I crave a physical adventure. Pretty accurate in my younger days when I would go canoeing, kayaking, spelunking, camping, hiking or hunting when I could. Or go-karting. I’ve slowed down a bit.
I never did get to go snow machining across the Greenland ice cap. I would have liked that.
