Happy Holidays!

Oh look, yet another Christmas TV special!

How touching to have the meaning of Christmas

brought to us by cola, fast food, and beer....

Who'd have ever guessed that

product consumption, popular entertainment,

and spirituality would mix so harmoniously?

~Bill Watterson, Calvin & Hobbes

I don't think that I need to explain the humorous side in this joke... But for for those who can not appreciate it, I apologize if any offense has been taken. Please enjoy this time of year as it was meant to be. A time for God, family, friends, and memories. Although we all know Christ was not really born in December, may we remember the anniversary of one of the greatest gifts God ever gave the world. May humor, great peace, fellowship and all that you ask for be granted (and I don't mean gifts).

Judge or Love... can't do both!

The Remants of last night...

I started this post the "Remants of Last Night" and for some reason never finished it, so here is shot number two.

Last night I touched the Lord and felt his mighty touch.
I know is was the Lord cause no one makes me feel this way.

He held me close and told that all would be alright.

I did not understand how, it all had seemed so futile, the battle that I fought.

Then a still small voice said once again, "I did it perfectly last time what would change today?"

I smiled slightly and nodded, he was so very right, how could I forget that he is the same yesterday today and forever.

Judged by ur Tears

If the world found out how much you cried, would you be judge as a wuss or soft hearted? Do tears show you have no back bone or do they show the delicacy of your nature? Are they overrated, or under apprecaited? Can you be strong alway yet cry often.

Wind of a great thought.

Okay, so I know that I am unique but I think that many people would be able to relate to the following situation. So I am lying in bed and this great thought that came to me, one that seemed like a revelation at the time. And I said to myself you need to blog that, so write it down for tomorrow. Nah, I am too tried to get up again and besides, with such a great thought I will remember it in the morning, right? Well, as I am sure that you can guess how this is going to go, wrong! I did not remember and now I am irritated at myself cause my blog is sorely lacking recently. For which I would like to take the time to apologize for right now. I will try to be more diligent in my posting.

Please stop talking!!!

Take a deep breath and fill your lungs, inhaling through your nose, hold for 3 seconds and release through the mouth slowly. Feel better? Now stop reading and just listen............(don't worry, I will wait for you). ....................................................................... What do you hear? Do you hear the world passing you by or you passing the world. I think that it is one of those glass half full, glass half empty things, you either see it or you don't. I think that we often get lost in the hustle and bustle, and we need a moment to take a deep breath and listen. Listen to the falling snow, the laughing kids, the singing mouths, the honking horns, listen to the smiles, the growing rose and the gathering rain. Now before you judge me and say that I must have it great sun shining day here in my world, let me say, I am STRESSED out. The roads are horrible despite the beautiful snow and work is driving me crazy despite the fact that they pay for my labor. That said I took a moment to listen to the snow fall, I took a moment to hear the smile in a mother's voice and I even took a moment to listen to the silence of being with God. So... please stop talking and listen with me to the quiet things.

Faithfully Quoting

“To a worldly man, a God-intoxicated person will appear mad and he will laugh at him, But to the God-intoxicated man, the worldly appear insane, foolish, misled, blind.” - Sri Sathya Sai Baba

There are only three types of people; those who have found God and serve him; those who have not found God and seek him, and those who live not seeking, or finding him. The first are rational and happy; the second unhappy and rational, and the third foolish and unhappy.” - Blaise Pascal

Carpets or Peace makers?

If you ever showed the world your true self, life as you know it would change. Moments would never be the same, feelings would change. If we reacted and moved with our every thought, whim, and compulsion, the life we live would change. In general do not know what to do with the real side. Even those who control their whims and cumpulsion, but show there feelings, emotions and thoughts often leave others in their wake wondering what just happened. We as humans have learnt that all thoughts must be checked and controlled to all degrees. I am not saying that you should be allowed to spout every thought that pops in to your head but we seem to be discouraged to some degree in communication. We must always be kind, courteous and almost carpet like. When did we decide that as people perhaps even as christians that we must except all, because we must show the love of Christ. Even among ourselves, we scorn the one who stand up. Can we balance or walk the fine line between standing ground with love and just erring on the safe side and baring it with a smile. Does God require this or have we decided that as humans we cannot practice the art of fine communication without judgement?

Ever felt like this?

2008 - the year of Jelly Beans

Ronald Reagan put it this way, "You can tell a lot about a fellow’s character by his way of eating jelly beans." - 40th U.S. president (b. 1911).

May I in 2008 eat only the good jelly beans!
