Yea

I have been told that I have been very lackadaisical in my blogish ways. Forgive me and I will try to post more frequently.

Today is Monday and Ernesto seems to be heading towards Florida…yeah, another hurricane. This looks like this will be my 4th one in 3 years…bring it! I love the hostility that people have with each other during “these” times. Water, non-perishables, and gas become an essential commodity and people will just “scrap” over what they had first or that they were in line first…I’m sure you’ve seen it. It’s like what happens at 5:30 am on Black Friday, only worse. Any-the-ways, this is probably a good time for us “Jesus Freaks” to show the love and trust in which we have in God. I have learned that a lost world only sees Jesus in me, so it’s a good time to display Him, actually any and all time is a good time to display Jesus. Ready…how can I serve you today?

SPPOOOOONNN!

About six years ago I remember having a conversation with a fellow co-worker, that was once a democrat mayor somewhere in New York, and we had a discussion on truth. I held a spoon up and asked him what I was holding and he said, “I perceive it as a spoon, but someone else might not see that it is a spoon.” I replied by saying, “Someone’s ignorance that this is a spoon doesn’t change the fact that is a spoon.” What he was saying is that what truth is to me is different than what truth is to you. Because of this kind of thinking, we have 3, 687, 944 branches of the church as well as some 6, 345, 783 false religions. Because of this thinking, the world is as it is today. The truth is, I am in a recovery program because I used to look at my version of the” truth”. Jesus says to love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, and mind and love your neighbor as yourself, but I say what’s in it for me and its all about me. Jesus says that truth will set you free. I wonder how tainted are thinking really is? How far away is the world from truth? Truth is…I have gas and it smells! Does the way you think smell?
