I love how JS has put this. It is through the body that the manifold wisdom of God is made known.

Scars, Trees, and Zip Lines…Musings on Easter
I loved this.
Before our first service on Easter Sunday, Bill, a dear friend of mine, a wonderful man of God, whom I deeply respect, asked to speak to me. He had something he wanted to give me. I was talking to Bob at the time. Bob was like a 2nd dad to me growing up. Bill wanted Bob to stay as he presented me with the gift.
Before I committed my life to Christ at the age of 15, I spent a lot of time at Bob’s house. His daughter was my best friend. Their home was a source of stability and strength for me growing up…a respite from the craziness that was my life. They lived the street over from me. They took me wherever they went as a family.

Pastor Wrinkles: The Lenten Journey Pt. 8
I’m on my way to Waldosboro ME today to help my brother-in-law out as he recuperates from surgery. The spiritual journey becomes physical. I wonder what I will learn while I am away. God has something in mind because His Spirit is calling me deeper into the fast.
Here are today’s questions regarding spiritual health. They deal with our heart for service.
On a scale of 1 to 5 (1 meaning I am just beginning and 5 meaning I am well-developed in this area)…
Does my way of life expresses my unique God-given design?
How open am I to be used by God for ministry that complements my spiritual giftings, my heart, my abilities, my personality and my experiences in life? Am I even praying for such a ministry to present itself?
Am I serving in regular ministry?
How am I assuming responsibility for or facilitating a group discussion?
Am I discovering new ways to develop myself for ministry to the body?
How can I better serve God and others?
These are probing questions. I think for most of us the question is not are we doing something for the church (most of us are blogging as a ministry to the body of Christ and a mission to the world) but is there anything that needs to change for us to fully enter into that place of ministry that fits us like a glove. In my personal coaching sessions my coach is constantly asking questions that help me to see what I am doing that is facilitating ministry and what I am doing that is nothing more than a distraction.
One final question to ponder today. What can you change with God’s help to make you a better servant to God’s people?
