Right now I think my model prayer is like the one in Mark 9:24..."Lord, I believe! Help my unbelief!" I'm now starting to realize a big difference between "knowing" and "believing."
Boy, it's certainly very strange to not see Samuel at all on a Sunday...the car ride there was awfully quiet...the refreshment seemed off... Pastor Tim talked about being an "impact player" thingie, and the first thing he talked about was having a spiritual mentor. Well, recently, I think I may have subconsciously pushed this role of spiritual mentor or role model onto Samuel, and tried (perhaps unsuccessfully) to "suck the marrow out of his bones" (as Pastor Tim said). And maybe that annoyed him to no end, I have no idea...
After some contemplation, I'm now leaning towards keeping the Bible games alive, but taking a "sabbatical" of sorts from the fellowship ministry next term. This would give me opportunities to re-discover Jesus Christ, and also to travel around to visit different people in various places, like Vancouver, Saskatoon, Montreal. Need to pray more about it, certainly.
