We know the end of the story.

I had won great seats at a really nice theater in this really huge really swanky Mall. The mall was beautifully built and it was in a historic part of the city. The mall it’s self had a historical feel like it had been around for a few dacades.  The theater was fashioned in style of the old theaters.  I waited near the front of the line to enter and find my seats to the movie. I knew the movie it was one of my favorites the Lord of the rings and they were playing all three movies. During the movie I got up and left the theater I don’t remember why I decided to leave but I had my ticket so I would still be able to get back in.  I got lost a bit because the Mall was huge, and I wanted to take a kind of Mall tour.  Part way through my getting lost I started missing the movie, but I wasn’t too worried because well I knew how it ended.  I Know the end of the story! This whole story was well, a dream, and I woke and laid in bed just pondering it. The point I think, (because sometimes I fee

Sunday Morning Notes

John 16 "we will never walk alone" -"don't worry I'm going to send the spirit  the spirit" He is going the convict the world of sin. Not us.  -the spirit gives us personal assurance that we are a child of God a seal of our redemption in Him. - the spirit helps us in our weakness because we don't even know how to pray.  -the spirit produces fruit in our lives. the gifts of the spirit are for edification of others.  • stop living like orphans • the spirit is working in you • we witness but the spirit convinces  • the spirit gives us eyes of faith • the spirit provides guidance when confused • walk, dance, and run in the spirit

In the Morning.

I was awake at 10 minutes till 9am this morning.  After dressing for the day taking a brush to my hair and teeth I made my way to the lower level also known as the kitchen and living room.  I stood there looking at the contents of my fridge wondering what I should eat. I knew what I was going to drink of course, coffee, oh but wait I didn't have any cream. Oh well I guess I was making a Luck's run immediately. I pulled my boots and coat on, snagged the keys and made my way to the vehicle. At Luck's I bought half&half, fresh squeezed orange juice and two containers of Australian coconut yogurt, yum! Back at home,then about 10:10am, I cracked open psalm 139 and made coffee and ate yogurt and wrote in my journal and began my day of prayer.  I say began, because I've noticed that if I start my day in prayer, He tends to keep me there for the rest of my day.

light

On Friday as I looked out the window I saw a large picture of grey, all different shades of it. The colors that weren't shades of grey popped  out here and there. Even if they did pop out a little they were muted by the grey. Or maybe they were just over powered by the grey. This was my perspective at the moment.  The muted pops of color are washed out glimpses of a truer picture, a picture without the filter of sin. A picture that faintly flickers in my hearts eyes. A place without sin has light that helps us see all the colors clearly, light that is warm and home.  today it's white.

all of us

We are, all of us flawed, or under a curse of sin.  All of us!! I think it is easy to look at others and expect them to do and be what we think they should do and be. We say to ourselves in our heart, that they are the problem. We pray why won't you change them God to be what I want them to be, or why won't you make them stop doing the thing that is causing the problem or pain.  In this we forget that we could be the problem that we are flawed and cursed and we could be part of the problem. we forget to look at ourselves and consider that we are the ones who need to do and be differently. We don't consider we need to be changed because we are to busy trying to get others to be different or change.   But, we,all of us, are flawed or under a curse of sin.  Including me! I need to do and be differently to be the one who is changed!!!  I, We, are not able to change unless we seek God every minute every hour of each day.

enough already

I'm rich! So many times I want more of this or that. I have more than enough and yet I buy, buy, buy, until the place I live isn't big enough for all the stuff I don't need or use. The truth is I don't need a bunch of stuff to survive in fact I really don't need much.

September 14, 2015 "Good bye summer"

It's morning, I'm on the front porch with coffee and jounal on the table next to me. The sky is blue today there aren't any clouds, that I am able to see.  The air is cool and it smells like autumn to me, already the trees have started their yearly decorating of the lawn.  There are orange yellow and brown leaves scattered about the grass that now has lost a little bit of it's dark green luster.   This time of the year is my favorite, I'm pretty sure I say it every year.  I always manage to write it at least here on this blog.  For some reason it is one of the most romantic parts of the year for me. It's that way to me because, it's full of color, full of change, full of reminders that God does amazing things with us even though we are fallen, even though we are still in our sinful self.  So today, even though it's not technically autumn yet, I say good bye to summer, and I thank God for the work of his beautiful death on a tree to make us new in Him.
