Waiting on the Hair to Grow Back

So here's to new beginnings...
All in one summer. New Job, New House, 2 New Sisters, New Haircut... Just need a New Tattoo to round this all out... ;)
One of my new sisters said its time for me to revive the blog so here we go. I haven't really decided how this will work on the new go round, but check in occasionally to see.

I was listening to a Mark Driscoll sermon on my way back from Denton this last Sunday, and he was preaching out of 1 Peter. I resisted the urge to yank out the iPhone and look it up it in the Holy Bible app until I got home. So I read through 1 Peter once i was safely home. And 1 Peter 1:17 keep popping out at me.
'Since you call on a Father who judges each man's work impartially,
live your lives as strangers here in reverent fear.'
Ironically Kelley and I had just been discussing the word "fear" and all the different meanings it can be used for in the Bible... (Since English majorly lacks in the beautiful imaginative word usage department) Have you ever just stopped and pondered this verse?? I sure haven't, but now I am.
Dr Constable says of this passage. "Live your life pursuing God, we aren't here forever.
We are just on a brief sojourn."
Sojourn-French word? of course not English- to stay or dwell for a time.
Definitely a verse to ponder.
