Stream of Thought

Hello Stream of Thought..it's been a long time. Let's go.

I have made peace with Facebook. Yes, it's not so bad.

I have a BEYOND huge meeting tomorrow with a media group about the magazine. I have not been able to really prepare AND no manner of reaching out for help has produced help, so let the proverbial chips fall.

I have learned more in the last year than in perhaps my entire life.

Since the purchase of the magazine until now, I can still say that I still truly love people though I am fairly certain a marked amount of people are not so crazy about me.

There is nothing, at all, in the world, like freedom.

It is a good thing I went to the early service this morning. I don't think I could have withstood the longer version. Can you say, OUCH???? I love that at CCOTL, the teaching is straightforward and to the point and often leaves me feeling like a baby Christian. Deep theology containing words I can't pronounce let alone define, is a great hobby but not necessarily productive to spiritual progress. You must come to the Lord with the faith of a child and not forget the simplicity of the Word! woohoo!

I find it interesting that God has me in a place that the harder I reach out to others for help, advice or answers the less it seems to come in anything less than a pretty watery platitude. (no offense anyone) But encouragement seems to come in spades. Typical God work.

I am beginning to taste the motto I so long quoted: "God dreams bigger dreams for us than we can dream for ourselves."

My big toe on my right foot has been dead asleep for 24 hours a day for the 4th day in a row and it is really beginning to bug the crayola out of me. I need a good adjustment and 2 massages per week for 3 months. Hmmm...I bet I could trade for that. Last year I traded for an entire mouth full of dental work...what's a good massage between friends. (hey, that's kinda racey)

I am glad Amanda and Joel had a baby. REALLY glad. Sometimes it's in the having one that turns the light on to what parenthood is and means. I am so happy for them! But not in the typical way people are happy for new parents.

My cats think the puppy is a cat. Kind of. They play and attack each other like cats. It's hilarious. Evidently, they are not threatened by my dog.

I wonder what tomorrow is going to be the catalyst for. What if its nothing? That would be funny.

Knowing that God is in control for real really helps take the wonder out of the "I wonder what if". I think it, but then I always think, who cares? Doesn't matter. What He will have is what He will have.

Still loving sovereignty. It sure does help in the view of complete and utter wonder.

Hope I don't have to pay for it one day.

Just kidding, I know my theology but I sure don't deserve it.

I continue to be probably the worst Christian that ever lived. It PERPLEXES me so on how this can possibly still be.

The old adage '"The more I know, the more I realize the less I know" becomes truer and truer after the age of 40.

People I secretly think rock: Shelly W., Kathy H., Vigo M., and a handful of various misunderstood kids I know.
