"Nature Abhors a Vacuum."

RG loaned me Larry Crabb's book The PAPA Prayer many months ago, and since he warned me to take it just a chapter at a time, I laid it aside and didn't pick it up again until last night. At one point Crabb says that the Holy Spirit, just like nature, will always fill a vacuum (within the life of a believer), except that usually we're too busy trying to fill that vacuum ourselves that we don't give HS a chance. If Crabb is correct (and I suspect that he is) I want to start embracing the vacuum in my own life--the moments when I am tired, or lonely. Or bored. Or beyond my own capacity to deal.

Speaking of which, it's time to take a vacuum to this floor!
