The End of the Matter is This . . .

Wow and has God got a hold on all of it or what?

It's an awesome thing when you get to a place where you do something because you get to and not because you have to?

Mindless Wandering

It's when you know that you have scripture behind you and you get attacked by those who are supposed to support you. Because they want to keep an 'open mind'. And you feel like you've let God down if you listen to them. but you DO listen to them because isn't a christian supposed to be meek?

Or you get attacked and they don't say a word. Because they think you're doing 'just fine on your own'. Acting as unChristian as it gets and they leave you.

It's endless talk that goes around and around where you forget what started it all and just want peace. (you want to scream 'SHUT UP!" - it's got to be a kind of effective torture.)

It's loving someone and they use that love to work you into doing what they want.

It's manipulation. And I hate it.

My Mumbling Matra

"Mouth Control." Bless, do not curse.

"Put yourself in the other persons shoes."

What will happen to the other person if i don't forgive?

I must be really doing something right, because I am having a HARD time at work.

I Misspeak - - Again

Amy LaMore is so funny. Her indignation at my last blog absolutely made my day, my week, maybe my whole year. So let me rephrase:


Jennifer Maxwell knows me AS WELL AS anyone.

A Revelation

I'm teaching a class on Wednesday nights called "Bad Girls of the Bible." I am petrified. It's all the older ladies who know way way more than me and I am in front talking to them? It's unnerving. Although I try not to show it, this is HARD for me.

When i was reading Jaci's blog about her new puppy, she posted a picture of Julie with Jo Jo next to her. I whined like a baby: "I WANT that picture!"

Hang on - this all makes sense.

So there I am, shaking and nervous last Wednesday and right before class, Jennifer Maxwell hands me a folded piece of paper. It was Julie and Jo Jo.

Jennifer Maxwell knows me. I think maybe better than anyone.

Ike

As stupid as it sounds, I was so hoping Ike would swing this way. I LOVE a storm and the whole God-Power thing. I'm insured and so what if the house goes? It would actually be fun to redo things a bit.

I've heard, however, that it is death to be in the path of Ike. So I have the luxury of watching without the danger that Galveston and Houston have.

Wish it would get cold.

Fraility, thy name is 'Ken'

Our Bible study on Tuesdays is 'How to Love Someone you can't Stand." How ironically fitting.

Here at work. All caught up and trying to control the attitude.

I SO want to not make God angry. I do want to be what He asks.

It's a sobering thing to be conscience of your weakness. There is no doubt In my mind that only God can fix me. This time.

Every time.

A Day in the Life

Listening to Jaci and Jarred upstairs playing, James and Julee laughing and Jocelyn hitting the dangling bee I got her from Target and I just have to smile. Julee just called: "PaPa!! Com'ere!" to help her save Jaci. Jade just ran down the stairs, sliding on the wood. She's probably coming down here to toot again. She's gifted.


Jaci just hollered for James and Julee to help her. Too funny.
