Elijah/Eden Experience—

Everything went right yesterday – worship was powerful; my preaching seemed to have touched number of people; had a good time discussing/learning about music w/ TZ; got reconnected w/ my former students in Parsippany.  And yet, I went to bed quite depressed, haunted by sense of loneliness.  This wasn’t the first time I felt this way...How my heart, in spite of all the good things that the Lord has given me, tends to focus on the one thing that he has set temporal boundaries – the forbidden fruit.  Lord, forgive me for failing to count your blessings and complain about one thing that you are using to sanctify me.
