Spontaneous

Remember the doughnut commercial when the baker would get up early every day and say in a depressed way 'its time to make the doughnuts'. Life can get boring if we let it. I want to be more spontaneous. I want to play hookie on a Tuesday morning and play go fishing with my kids. I want to drive a different way to the office. I would love to get up in the middle of the night and take a walk on the river bank. No planned vacation, just go with no agenda. No clock. Just to decide when I get up. You know, know, just to enjoy every moment. Plans are good, and need to be made. Not 'in a box' but made in a fluid, changable kind of way. Even doughnuts can be made in a bunch of ways. Just a thought.....

Vacation

Me and my family are on vacation in Gulf Shores, Alabama. This has been an awesome and relaxing trip. I am trying to learn to how to relax more. Now I think I'm getting the hang of it. Hahah. I hope that even in the face of Agenda that I can have the discipline to learn how to too take a Sabbath on a normal basis. Hmmm the root of vacation is 'vacate' so I think its ok to even vacate our agendas, don't you? Just a thought.....

Process

Life is a process not an event. Why do we live from event to event? Vacation to Vacation? Friday to Friday? In my opinion its we don't enjoy process. Its in the process that we are stretched, hurt, turned around, question God and are molded. I truly believe that process is more important than outcome. If not, then we would be able to take a quantum leap into our end. So I kinda see it like this. I find my potential, try to learn in the process so that i will be able to handle the peak. In other words I learn to cry then crawl then walk then run only to learn how to cry again. Process, not an event. Just A Thought.....

Walk With Me

Thoughts.... Walk with me God.
Actions.... Walk with me God.
Opps!... Walk with me God.
#$@@#!!!!..... Walk with me God.
Let me try again.... Walk with me God...........

That is what I call "the vicious cycle" We start off with thoughts and then we pray and then it seems at times all of hell breaks loose. We fall and all we can see is the dust from it. We lay there, praying, crying, still, scared. Then we feel something. A touch on the shoulder of our heart. We look up. There he is, smiling with a smile that can only be described by faith. Its Him, Jesus. He wipes the tears, picks us up and says, walk with me..... Just a thought.....
