welcome.
sometimes i feel good and sometimes i don't. if you come here occasionally, you will probably be able to tell which i feel on particular days. i hope to use this spot to unburden my heart and mind of semi-coherent thought traipsing that we all go through at times. there will probably be some random and bizarre things as well because i seem to get a kick out of things like that....
moving on.
as you read things here, you may from time to time come across thoughts or thought processes that seem wrong or a little off - please let me know. after all -
"As iron sharpens iron,
so one man sharpens another."
Proverbs 27:17
thought.
just a quick verse and thought. this is a verse that touches close to my heart when i read it lately. there seems to be a struggle within about how a man is supposed to be. i don't quite know why i have this struggle - mainly one of balancing worldly masculinity versus the compassion and strength i sense in so many of Jesus' messages. maybe i do understand more than i thought. if only this fight were done, i know who'll win, but i guess the struggle is part (or all?) of the maturing process....
"They are darkened in their understanding and separated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them due to the hardening of their hearts."
Ephesians 4:18
the hardening comes in my personal experience because of it's convenience. it's much easier to shut your ears on anothers' cry for help and concentrate on your own "sufferings". it's much easier to change the channel when you feel yourself moved by a news report about devestation and chaos in "some other country". it's much easier to be selfish. but even as i write this, i am reminded of hope that we find in Jesus Christ.
"Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls."
Matthew 11:25
maybe it's easier to be compassionate and consider all things and just have faith that the Lord will grant you the strength and endurance necessary to finish the task. hmmmm....i think i like that thought the best.
