dog

I wish I knew what was wrong with me lately. I am tired, unmotivated and just ill. I know life gets to me somedays, but somedays I want to get to life. I sit here at 6am and type. I would much rather be in the bed. The rest of the house sleeps for now, except the faithful dog which has awakened from his slumber to get his morning meal. Back to the couch he goes. Oh how I wish to be him somedays. No agenda, no plans, no responsibilities. Ahhh the life of a dog.

'God projects'

Romans 9: 30-33
We would have ended up like ghost towns,
like Sodom and Gomorrah.
How can we sum this up? All those people who didn't seem interested in what God was doing actually embraced what God was doing as he straightened out their lives. And Israel, who seemed so interested in reading and talking about what God was doing, missed it. How could they miss it? Because instead of trusting God, they took over. They were absorbed in what they themselves were doing. They were so absorbed in their "God projects" that they didn't notice God right in front of them, like a huge rock in the middle of the road. And so they stumbled into him and went sprawling.

OPEN

saw this sign in a business over a year ago... that got me to thinking.... am I OPEN to what God has for me, my life, my possessions, my family? some days I don't think God really wants us to say yes or no but to just say I am open, willing and available.

trashed

took the trash out today and was just thinking.... most people that have to haul off their own garbage usually make sure all the cans are emptied, all the garbage is bagged and out. God wants ALL of us... including our garbage. no need to hide any of it from him or leave any cans unemptied. He wants all of us, the good and the bad, so he can make us the best. True the cans will get filled daily, weekly, monthly... but it is our job to make sure that we give it to God, so he can haul it off.
