We always have a choice.

both boredom and anger are secondary; dealing with the underlying causes of each takes time, courage and perseverance; that leads to maturity; we always have a choice

Like a Child

with 2 comments

Dear God, surround me as I speak,
the bridges that I walk across are weak
Frustrations fill the void that I can’t solely bear.

Dear God, don’t let me fall apart
you’ve held me close to you
I have turned away and searched
for answers I can’t understand.

They say that I can move the mountains
And send them falling to the sea
They say that I can walk on water
If I would follow and believe
With Faith Like a Child

Sometimes, when I feel miles away
and my eyes can’t see your face
I wonder if I’ve grown to lose the
recklessness I walked in light of you

They say that I can move the mountains
And send them crashing to the sea
They say that I can walk on water
If I would follow and believe
With Faith Like a Child

They say that love can heal the broken
They say that hope can make you see
They say that faith can find a Savior
If you would follow and believe
With Faith Like a Child

Adventures for 2010

leave a comment »

I’m watching Man versus Wild and thinking about the adventures I’ll have this coming year. I think there will be at least two 4×4 Weekend Adventures (more likely week long adventures). I don’t think I’ll do Boundary Waters trips in northern Minnesota for a few years because they’re not as much fun for me as mountains and more western getaways. I think I’ll coordinate trips to Colorado or Utah or maybe northern California. Ahhh… When dreaming, there’s no limit!

The World’s Most Beautiful Castles

I’d like to own a castle.  I’d like to get married in a castle.  How elegant and awesome would that be?!

good example of sarcasm

leave a comment »

Oh, how I love it when someone nails good sarcasm, right on the head…  This is from the “I AUTOMATICALLY HATE THE NEW FACEBOOK HOME PAGE” Facebook group.  Let’s deal with what we can control and change our attitudes!

I HATE CHANGE AND EVERYTHING ASSOCIATED WITH IT

I WANT EVERYTHING TO REMAIN STATIC THROUGHOUT MY ENTIRE LIFE

I DO NOT KNOW WHAT I WANT FROM THINGS I CANNOT CONTROL

BY LOGICAL DEDUCTION I AUTOMATICALLY OPPOSE THE NEW FACEBOOK STREAMING HOME PAGE

IF I HAVE TO EXPLAIN THIS GROUP IT IS NO LONGER FUNNY

AttitudeMeme

When I think about a topic and decide to write about it, one interesting thing (to me anyway) is seeing  in which category it lands.  This topic about “attitude” and thoughts about how to change and adjust attitudes is something that I encounter every day – we encounter every day.  This is the introduction of the “The Attitude Meme.”  It also happens to hit on every one of the categories already here… Autodidactism, Education, Life, Listening, MegaDrivel, Perception, Perspectives, Priorities, and Writing.

Yes, there is a little wordplay going on here. Attitude + Me +Me… I don’t think that works.  However, I do think it works to infect positively pass along a good attitude and good ideas.  I don’t know anyone that I like to be around who dislikes a good attitude.  This is another positive beginning… Welcome to a new category and a new domain, AttitudeMeme.com.  (Yes, that’s another wordplay.)

you cannot deny

leave a comment »

whether you agree or disagree
you cannot deny

whether you like or dislike
you cannot deny

whether you try or do not try
you cannot deny

whether you love or hate
you cannot deny

whether you lose or gain
you cannot deny

whether you suffer or whether you rejoice

whether you pity or whether you envy

whether you spite or whether you embolden

whether you despise or whether you embrace

YOU CANNOT DENY…

Jesus Christ is sovereign.  God knows.  And, the Holy Spirit lives.

Be encouraged.  YOU are NOT alone.

YOU CANNOT DENY…

God is God and I am not.

Trust God period.
