A time for healing......
Depression is something I know a bit about. I have some family members who suffer with it and I think I do, though I have no official diagnosis. I sense it’s tentacles creeping toward me but I can do little about it. Maybe a little is enough though to see me through without getting stuck down in the mire of my brokenness. I still believe in love over all else despite the open wounds I carry...
My perspective and His
I am that T-shirt that gives you sore spots on the entrance to the armpits, I am that cap that leaves a red ring just below the hair line, I am that wool coat that itches your neck as you walk along, I am that Chinese meal that had you bounding to the bog, I am that out of date fruit that has more meat than fruit, I am that carton of old orange juice that has more alcohol than bourbon, I am that...

thoughts on Jeremiah and Isaiah
the last few chapters of Isaiah made me think about the FIERCENESS of God. Of His LOVE, His jealousy for us, of His Glory. So… a fierceness that is scary but beautiful and incredible and part of what make God God. The first few...

dolbylicious:
Feel this is a prophetic thing. I have come accross it a few times today and feel I should take note. Good to think about how seizing the “day” or oppurtunity may apply to a part of your life right now.
Pronunciation [kahr-pe dee-em;]
Latin, meaning.
seize the day; enjoy the present, as opposed to placing all hope in the future.
Origin:
1817, from L., “enjoy the...
Grace face to face
I want to be good. I want to please God. He says He wants me to be true to myself and Him in all I do. He says He welcomes all of me which I have to assume means He welcomes the dark, fractured and twisted parts of me. I am asked to love and let myself be loved and be love. I believe I have wasted too much time trying to achieve these things by disciplining my mind to work the way I think God...

“but that we will extend a hand if you are willing to unclench your fist.”
– Obama’s inauguration speech…… What a line. It is in refrence to leaders around the world that do not represent their people by their actions
A portion of Obama's Inauguration speech that...
As for our common defense, we reject as false the choice between our safety and our ideals. Our Founding Fathers, faced with perils we can scarcely imagine, drafted a charter to assure the rule of law and the rights of man, a charter expanded by the blood of generations. Those ideals still light the world, and we will not give them up for expedience’s sake. And so to all other peoples and...

Poppy's Shop

Settling Poppy down tonight (my nearly 3 year old daughter), she was telling me what she had in stock in her shop. It sounds pretty good, and everything costs just four pounds. She sells:
Shiny stones, Houses, Rumbrellas, Mini eggs, New babies, Ice cream, Chocolate Bread, Chocolate, Shiny stones, Houses, Rumbrellas, Mini eggs, New babies, Ice cream, Chocolate Bread, Chocolate, and so on...

Inner ramblings of a vulnerable man

Trial by firing squad
I wake from peaceful slumber looking to the time as a cold trickle of fear slides down my slowly closing throat, Late lazy bones, I dash and run about collecting my thoughts and belongings apologising without reserve, Let down - tardiness, I arrive all out of breath and myself way behind my body dragging it’s heels, Disappointed in you, I stride around looking to fulfil the gap left by me....

My undoing undance ~ I wrote this just after a...
I felt the cold steel of your betrayal dig into my back, And as I turned to give you a hug in all my love you plunged it into the depths of my heart, Your blade as chill as winters breath froze my blood and split my soul even as its icy claws let rip in my inmost, All your past words of love are but lies and shadows that shade the good of us in my heart, All this ice wont even melt into living...
A good rant
Life is wonderful in all its aching beauty. I love to love and laugh when I hear others laugh. I even wonder at the wonder of this life when I want to cry and others do to. When goodness passes all to quick and darkness lingers over long I will rejoice in the simplicity that I am alive and human. They say that the darkest hour is the one before the dawn but hail the dawn. I need others. They need...

good advice
joeybondy:
Summing it all up, friends, I’d say you’ll do best by filling your minds and meditating on things true, noble, reputable, authentic, compelling, gracious- the best, not the worst; the beautiful, not the ugly; things to praise, not things to curse. Put into practice what you learned from me, what you heard and saw and realised. Do that, and God, who makes everything work together, will...
