God’s Path vs Your Path

  God’s path and your path are almost never the same.     It is tough to stay on God’s if our whole existence comes from this world.     If our identity is of this world and not one as a child of God and we try to fake the walk on God’s path, nothing good can come of this.     Walking the world’s path?     Many do and many are successful in the things of this world, but for what?     The further we walk the path of the world, the harder it is to come back from it.     To walk this path is to turn away from God.     Not recommended.     If we try to walk both paths at the same time, well we don’t get very far on either because switching back and forth between paths that lead different directions is futile.     So, what do we do?     What is required?     Faith.     Faith that he will watch your back on his path.     Sometimes this is very difficult when y...

Judging Others Turmoil

I’m learning a valuable lesson.     I’m going through trials that I have only felt a few other times.     Maybe one time to be exact.     I have prayed to not have to go through these to get closer to God.     Inside I knew I had to.     The pain is hard to explain.     If I explained it, I would be embarrassed.     Most people would say just shake it off and deal with it.     I know I often do this when I see someone going through something tough.     The lesson I suppose is that it is impossible to understand personal trials when we are drawing near to God.

 Who are you lying to?

Integrity

What is it to have integrity?  To be honest about what lies in our heart?  The heart cannot be hidden from God.  For some reason, we think that if we deceive others of true nature of our heart, that God is deceived too.  This lie causes torment beyond measure.

Struggling

Wow, I am really dejected.     I wrote a blogpost yesterday, after finishing it, I felt great. Not for long!     I've been walking around in a lie! There have been times where I have found true surrender and in that place God shows up. I always want him to show up in a low rumbling voice and tell me exactly what to do.     That is yet to happen, but he makes his presence felt in other undeniable ways.     In between these messages, I'm constantly getting in the way of his plan.     I hate it.     I hate that I can’t stay the course.   I look at myself as a professional investor. I want everybody to know this and for the most part everyone around me does.  This “professional” has been horrible. During my career I felt like I could turn anything into gold, and this really propelled me forward into this place that I am now.  I temporarily retired and about 2 years ago, I shook off the dust, I figured I wou...

Extreme Faith is Dangerous

I never thought I'd be this guy.  To proclaim my faith publicly to anyone who will listen.  Well, I am and that is a miracle. Beyond the miracle of my faith, I have experienced other miracles, too numerous to recount.  If you ever talk to me about them, I will be so animated that it will be hard to shut me up and if you want to hear the full story it will be a very long conversation.  I will talk about my faith with anyone who will listen, I just need to find listeners!  With all my enthusiasm, I always find it strange that I notice some doubt in the listener or at a minimum a lack of enthusiasm as I’m presenting “proof” of our salvation and giving the answer to attaining it in formulaic form!  Just have faith!  You can stop reading now!   If you didn’t stop reading, why isn’t it that simple?  Because we want tangible proof, we need to see water turn into wine!  Maybe more than once!  When we see i...

ProChoice = NoChoiceVax?

 Seems odd to me.  Maybe I'm wrong, but seems to be correlated.  Just an observation.
