Welcome to our online discussion of Dallas Willard and Jan Johnson's Renovation of the Heart in Daily Practice: Experiments in Spiritual Transformation. Each day, Monday-Friday, I will post the title of that day's chapter and maybe an excerpt from the chapter. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, will be to read that day's selection from the book then click on the comment link and add your $.02 to the conversation. If you are a highlighter maybe just share what you highlighted and why you highlighted it. Maybe something really resonated with you as you tackled that day's experiment, share that with us. Maybe, as happened with me, the first time I read the book, God will reveal something to you. Read the comments that others leave, respond to each other, ask for clarification, let someone know you connected with a comment they left. My hope is that working through this book together we will get much more out of it, we might not only grow in Christlikeness but grow closer to each other. If you have any technical difficulties please email me at tkay3atcharterdotnet.

It was easy for me to SURRENDER my will to God but not all the time am I willing to will it.
ABANDONMENT is one that is very hard for me I sometimes feel like I abandon God the way I abandoned my life in the past.
Where CONTENTMENT comes into my life today is when I open my heart to my savior Jesus and I allow him in to help me keep a open mind.
I love PARTICIPATION I get most of my fulfillment in running my men's group,being part of Camp Crossroads,Putting together the retreat with a bunch of great guy's and also learning to live life according to God.
Like its says in the original post my life will never be boring if I keep God and friends close by.
AMEN TO THAT!
