Going the distance

So when is enough enough? Do you understand that just because someone pushes your buttons you do not have to work it to where you get the upper hand? I know I have trouble with that and struggle getting to the situation where I will actually pray to the Father before I say anything or do anything. Ahhh but God is there and will help us whether we realize it or not. Praise the King!!!! We may struggle but He picks us up and dusts us off. Then we will be able to go past the "enough is enough" stage.ble to go past the "enough is enough" stage.

Happy Days!!!

What a wonderful day to be alive!!! We always say that about growing up and we say that about the past. Life was better then. Now things cost too much....we had more fun....people were nicer. Let's talk about the 60s when I was growing up. I grew up with fairly decent parents. My mom was a little possessive but was nonetheless a good mom and dad was a good protector and provider but he also had his moments. All in all not a bad way to grow up and learn survival mechanisms. But the environment was one of social turmoil. There was prejudice, there was ostracism, and there were cliques. And today? Well there is still prejudice, still ostracism, still cliques. Only now it is the desire of those in our culture to at least try to amend that. This is wonderful. This is freedom...this is good and these are happy days...to come!!!

Gimme my toy!!!

Ever play with a dog that won't give you his ball back? He holds onto it tighter than a vice grip. Isn't that what we do with things that may not be the best for us but what makes us comfortable? For me it's chocolate. If there is a situation I don't want to deal with I eat chocolate until I can deal with the situation. Will chocolate solve my problem? No...but because I think it will then I will invariably go there. What I seem to forget is that God is the only one that solve any issue, the only one who has everything under control. Instead of using chocolate just as something enjoyable, I use it as my God rather than the actual God....may we all give up our idols and start consulting the one true God.

Going Dark

Everyone needs time away, time to get dark, to turn off the hustle and bustle and then rejuvenate. Vacations is just a little part of that. Getting away to a quiet area for a few days, that's more rejuvenation than going to fast paced cities like New York or Chicago, or going to the beach or just going. Take time to renew, take time to put everything in perspective. Take time to enjoy.
