Funny little poem by me

dink. dink. dink.
goes the water into my sink
from the faucet into a pool
my sink is plugged and I have no tool
the plug stays closed, I don't know why
it is so annoying I think I might cry
my counter is cluttered up to the brink
up to the rink of the sink are my things
I hope they don't fall cuz that would be gross
for my sink to be fixed is what i want the most
...and yet...
dink...dink...dink...
goes the water into my sink...

Note to self, from Beth Moore book

In the breaking of every habit, someone wills it first and feels it later. Whatever you do, don't shrug your shoulders and decide the prospect is too hard to do and too much too ask. What could be harder than fighting a lifelong battle [with insecurity]? Thank God we don't have to wait until we feel more secure to start acting more secure. That's the heart of living by faith ntil we live by sight. We act on the basis of scriptural fact and supernatural power [rather than merciful feelings].


It starts with a whole new action and ends with a whole new attitude. The action gets the security to the surface, the attitude keeps the security at the surface.

We can be humbled without also being insecure.

Exerpts from "The Shack" ... by William P. Young

ON RELATIONSHIP VERSUS PRINCIPLES AND RULES
...Religion is about having the right answers, and some of their answers are right. But I am about the process that takes you to the living answer and once you get to him, he will change you from the inside. There are a lot of smart people who are able to say a lot of right things because they have been told what the right answers are, but they don't know Me at all. So really, how can their answers be right even if they are right, if you understand my drift? ...So even though they might be right, they are still wrong.

ON THE PRESENCE OF GOD
You might see Me in a piece of art, or music, or silence, or through people, or in Creation, or in your joy and sorrow. My ability to communicate is limitless, living and transforming, and it will always be tuned to Papa's goodness and love. And you will hear and see me in the Bible in fresh ways. Just don't look for rules and principles; look for relationship - a way of coming to be with Us [Papa, Jesus, Holy Spirit].
