  • Freedom & Slavery, Inconsistent Posts, and Photo such-as-it-is

    Dining on Rocks
    As I understand it, certain animals will swallow stones to help them to dive deeper and faster in the water (penguins, if I'm correct).  People can be quite like those animals at times, although we don't dine on physical stones.  Our stones are quiet pains, little fears, and secret guilts.  We take them in again and again, but rather than aiding us to be better swimmers, they drag us down and nearly drown us in the deep and dark waters.  Why do we do this?  Because we insist that we can do things ourselves; we refuse to believe that we are wrong.  Sometimes even it's because we grow accustomed to the struggle, perhaps even thinking that it's what we deserve.  We deserve far worse in all honesty, but we've been given the chance for far better. "It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery" (Galatians 5:1).  Find your freedom in Christ.

    Blasted Inconsistency
    It's always my goal to post every day.  But some days like Wednesday come along where my thoughts are too jumbled to be written out yet, so I wait a day.  Then there are those other days like Thursday when I'm rushing madly out the door to be on time and never make it to the computer.  Then there are those times when those days are back to back, and I realize that if I don't post on today, I won't until next week because I'm gone all weekend too!  Oi.  Sorry if that's meaningless and boring to you.  You have to give me meaningless and boring at least on occassion!  I went through my most recent photos and wasn't impressed enough with any of them to post them.  Should have some better shots from this weekend.  Happy 5th Anniversary to my wife!  What's something you are looking forward to celebrating?
