How improtant is imagination?

What a question? This morning characters from my childhood imagination came out of my mouth. Captain Juju Bean and his arch enemy Fernando Cappuccino. Where does this stuff come from? I think it is there to remind us of what God has in store for us when we get to heaven. In answering the question nearly all children have asked, "What is heaven like?" My answer is, "Heaven is better than anything you can imagine." So now the question is, can I imagine anything that will be better than heaven? Probably not! Nothing we can imagine can be better than seeing Jesus face to face. Anyone who cares enough to take our punishment for the wrongs we have done does really love us more than life itself. The hours spent thing up crazy things, funny names, and cool places only makes heaven that much more desirable. Thank You God for the imagination you put in our heads! Now back to Captain Juju Bean and Fernando Cappuccino in Battle of the Bath Tub...

I need to write.

I have always had times in my life when I needed to express myself on paper. Times when the words would flo so fast that I could hardly write fast enough to copy them all down. Now is one of those times. It seems as though a dam is about to break. The pressure is so high that I can do nothing except let the words flo. I can see the Holy Spirit like a rushing torent barely contained in the banks of a huge river. The Spirits flo is uncontrolled but only for the direction of the river it self.
I went hunting last week and while I was there in the woods I saw a creek that was changed from when I was there last. The old path was nearly dry but the new path was raging. The water as it rushed by cut out a new direction, a new path, one that seemed to make more sense. A more direct route was chosen by the power of the water. The creek was streamlined but the old creek banks now unused lay dorment. No purpose except for the memories of what used to be. The banks still in tact but the water now having no need of it's ineffective direction. The servant of does not control the Spirit's flo, but I can effect His direction a long as I can maintain a relivant relationship with Him. His power pushes me in a direction, moves me to be more effective when I get complacent. You see He does have a mission, a plan, a destination and if we are about His business we will play a part. But if we choose to follow are own plan we become redundant and not usefull.
God! My prayer for the readers of this peaceblog is this... God keep us focused on your plan. Help us be always searching Your heart for our purpose. May we always desire your plan over ours. Amen!

Looking 4 Luv

Have you ever loved someone that did not love you back? What an awful feeling to know that the object of your desire has no need for you. How heart breaking it would be that if you did everything you this person just to find out that they were taking all you have done for them and squandered it,thrown it away like out trash. I think God feels the same way when we ask from Him but don't ask for Him. Most times if we would be honest about it we would find that we in pray always seek His hand and rarely seek His Face. We want prayers answered, not to spend time with the Creator of everything. If you read this and know that what it says is true then make a change in how you approach Him. His Son died so that we could have life and life more abundant. The abundantness comes from spending time with the one who loves us like no-bodies business.

Best wishes for some great time with your Father.

Into the deep unknown.

I look back over my Blog titles and I should have seen it coming. The slipping into murky water. You know what I am talking about, like when you look into a pond that has a green scum on it and you wonder how deep it is or what lurks beneath the slim. Have you ever been in that position? Waiting to see if your next step will be your last and then the mud sucks you under. Moving slowly into the unknown. I guess that is where we are residing in these times. The only stable thing that we can hang on to like a vine hanging down from the trees above is the hand of God... We'll Talk later!!!

Ouch!

I can't remember ever having this much emotional pain. Wow I did not see this coming. I sure feel like I have been blindsided. I have seen less damage on when animals attack. I am bleeding inside. I hurt because someone thinks so little of me. It is one thing to fail when you have not tried, but to fail in someones sight and you have poured your blood, sweat and tears into the process and then be chopped off at the base. I feel used and discarded like a door mat that is long past it's prime. Wow how must have Jesus felt when they disposed of His efforts. I search my self for any validity to their claims. Am I that bad? Have I failed to the point of no return, and meaning well all along. Am I so dense that I can't see that maybe they might be right. The only clear view from all this is that I am just the head of a so called failing church. There are those who were attacked right along with me and they don't even know it. We are called Biblically illiterate because of me of course. We don't measure up because we don't know the scriptures like we should. That is my fault to because I don't teach them in the right way. Bla,Bla, blaa, Blaaaa. Many words to say I am bleeding from an attack from someone that i thought was a friend. A brother in Christ. At one time I considered him a confidon. Ouch! It Hurts. Thank you Lord that I know my call is sure because by this persons advise I should go back to working on airplanes. Jesus how do you love like you do? I don't want to even though i told then I did love them. Forgive me God!

December already!!!!

I can't believe it. It was just October yesterday. I am finding that the speed of time has grown exponentaially and we can no longer keep up. We run out of time constantly and we are in deep trouble when it comes to a fulfilled life. When we begin a task it becomes almost impossible to complete. When we have a new idea it has already been thought of and is in use by everyone. In this life we cruse above the speed of sound. I long for the still quiet life. A life that allows me to catch my breath. The Bible speaks of God's peace and so many people are lacking it. on my way to the coffee shop today a person in a little Chevy ran a stop sign in front of me. We no longer have the patience to even obey the laws of the land. We no longer have the patience to be concerned with the well being of others. this is supposed to be a time of giving of gifts and showing each other God's love and peace. Instead we take advantage of others. As I am setting here looking out the window of the coffee shop I see a guy who is walking down the street carrying a cross with a wheel on the back of it. Boy if that would only work. If each of us would walk down the street or where ever we would go with a cross on our backs.
(Mk 8.34—9.1; Lk 9.23—27)
24 Then Jesus told his disciples, “If any want to become my followers, let them deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me
The Holy Bible : New Revised Standard Version. Nashville : Thomas Nelson Publishers, 1989, S. Mt 16:24

If I could just get peoples eyes off of themselves and back on to the Lord. Life would slow down things might just feel normal if we slowed down and followed Him... How do we get there? When the lord gives me the answer I will let you know!!!
Salutations!!

Drained!

I don't think that I have ever felt like this in my life. I feel like I don't have one once of energy left. I don't know what it is that makes me feel this way. I have been sick for some time but I feel that It is emotional also. I am not sure what to do about it. I cannot seem to shake the cold and headache that I have. I don't feel like working, I don't want to talk to anyone. I can't handle pressure. I wish I felt better. I really just feel drained. I just took some vacation time and now I am back at it. Lord, please help me!
