STANDING IN STUPID

No matter who you are or what you have been through, sometimes you will get right in the middle of a stupid spot and think that it is a good place to stand. That is when you hope that God has provided you with good friends who will help you see the situation for what it really is. I have had my share of problems in life but with salvation comes forgiveness. The bible says that God can no longer even see my past sins. They are as far as the east is from the west, and that is pretty far. If I decide somehow to " right here right now " stand in the middle of stupid please don't let me stand there for long. Never forget that Jesus Christ absolutely leveled the playing fields for everyone. From a starving child in Zimbabwe, to the highest executive in New York we are all the same in the eyes of God. And if you think anybody else's opinion matters you are wrong. We as sinful humans are good at pomp and arrogance, and pride, and we like to inflate our importance, but we are all the same in the eyes of the lord. When we can figure that out and act accordingly this world will be a much nicer place. DON'T YA THINK ? ? ?

LOST THE PLOT

When you comoe back again would you bring me something from the fridge? Heard a rumor that the end is near but I just got comfortable here sigh. Let's be blunt. I'm a little distracted. What do you want? Headaches and bad faith are all that I've got First I misplaced the ending then I lost the plot. Out among the free-range sheep while the big birds sharpen their claws. For a time we stuck with the shepherd but you wouldn't play Santa Claus. sigh. Let's be blunt. We're a little distracted. What do you want? Once we could follow, now we cannot. You would not fit our image, so we lost the plot. Once we could hear you, now our senses are shot. We've forgotten our first love. We have lost the plot. When I saw you for the first time you were hanging with a thief And I knew my hands were dirty, and I dropped my gaze. Then you said I was forgiven and you welcomed me with laughter I was happy even after. I was counting the days when you'd come back again. we'll be waiting for you When you comin' back again? we'll be ready for you Maybe we'll wake up when.. maybe we'll wake up when you come back again. lies. Let's be blunt. We're a little unfaithful What do you want? Are you still listening? 'Cause we're obviously not We've forgotten our first love We have lost the plot. And why are you still calling? You forgave, we forgot. We're such experts at stalling that we've lost the plot lost the plot When you come back again would you bring me something from the fridge? Heard a rumor that the end is near but I just got comfortable here.

Discombobulated

Discombobulation happens ! Its kinda like going in the other room for something and forgetting what it was when you get there? I hate that, but it seems more and more like what you think you are doing turns out to be something different entirely. Discombobulate:

to confuse or disconcert; upset; frustrate: The speaker was completely discombobulated by the hecklers.

1. Do you go to Church to find/follow God?
2. Do you tithe to your Church to "help" people?
3. Ever decide you could make a difference?
4. Have you ever poured your heart and soul and everything that you have into "growing your church" ?

I often find that I think these things and it turns out that it just never works! When we realise that God is the power and the glory, and that it is not about us we will be much closer to the truth. We alone will change nothing. We must be open and sensitive to the urgings of the Holy Spirit, then we will begin to get the picture. It is called following God for a reason. But we are all too eager to try to lead. We will lead the king of glory??? This discombobulation is no small wonder!! We need to seriously rethink our approach. I for one am running full blast down this road, and I need to know that I am in fact going in the right direction......

HONORABLE

I saw a man buried today. It was a military burial, and very moving. They made a ceremony of seven men, pall bearing the casket, firing 21 gun salute, playing taps and folding the flag and presenting it to the widow. It probably lasted twenty minutes and was a nice and fitting tribute, to a find upstanding christian man.

They spent twenty minutes Honoring this man for his service to his country, for his active engagement in war, and for his sacrifices. He well deserved that, and it was a fitting honor. But to reduce what he did to a twenty minute ceremony, and a prayer?

Is this what we have reduced God to? It seems so familiar somehow. A twenty minute sermon if you are lucky, a couple of songs, and an amen! Is this all that we have for God?

We should have God up front, out front and in complete focus at all times. We should not only honor him with our prayers, presence, gifts, and services, but with our whole lives every minute of every day. Wouldn't that be HONORABLE?
