i am a wretch

Nature trail
From a Florida Zoo, mercy and kindness extended to a tree.

 

i am a wretch.

Even though i thought i was ‘good’.

So on April Fool’s Day 2009 i began the day on my knees, saying three special prayers.

  1. The Lord’s Prayer
  2. Hail Mary
  3. A special prayer i created as an extension of “saying Grace”

This is, coincidently, the same day i began the 100-day writer’s bootcamp.

Same result too.

Haven’t missed a single day.

Ever.

This train of thought continues with “i felt i deserved a raise at work” at the next Blog

Being a zealot is sometimes the only way to make the point

Yesterday, used Apple Music on a 10-mile run. (Jesus ‘Let it bleed” – the secret is love)

 

For the past 2,015 years, much has been accomplished since the birth of one man.

You know, for Jesus to finally make his point, he needed to be nailed to a tree.

That was like 2048 (2015 minus 33) years ago.

  • Consistency.
  • Time

And the secret sauce, love.

Let It Bleed (photo above) takes on a new meaning.

Feeling overwhelmed is quite common

Sarcasm on Facebook
Yesterday, a friend’s FB update.

 

When we feel overwhelmed…there is no perfect answer, except this:

Be grateful you are alive to experience an imperfect world.

The picture is an excuse maker’s crutch.

Vibrancy is it’s own reward, no matter how long you live, or don’t live.

Eagle eye to the rescue?

Windermere Prep Track
Yesterday’s run/walk. The tire is a metaphorical, easy-to-see plank.

 

i wish i had been more observant to the plank in my own eye instead of being such an eagle eye to spot the plank in another’s eye.

Greater things than these?

Recent photo outside our garage.

 

Greater things than these?

That’s what Jesus said, “Greater things than these shall be done”.

This may be the time we could use some “greater things”.

i vow to do my part.

i may fail and look like a fool or zealot.

Would you die for someone you love more than anything in the world, like your child for example?

And would you change your mind based on their sexuality being LGBT and you had’t known before?
