Missing persons

Hello to all who read this little ditty, I have been hearing word, that some peoples have been disappointed with me not up dating. Sorry, I have been disabled for the past few months or so, I will try and remember to write.

Today, I went hiking on rocks at the lake. It was a really beautiful day in Bloomington. We painted our faces with rocks, My friend Amber taught me how to make face paints with Them. We did some stone skipping, ate some lunch, and just enjoyed, took pleasure in Gods creation. I have learned that when we take joy, and pleasure in what he has made, that he is praised, and glorified because of it. Here it is He says, I made it, what do you think, then he waits our reaction, he takes pleasure in our joy over what he has made. Like when we make some good food, and we want to share it with our friends, and family, and we want to see how they enjoy what we made. Maybe it's like a parent with their children when parents give them good gifts, and watching to see. God is so Good, all the time he is Good. Sing to him make music, bless his name make a joyful splash in the puddle to him, or praise the lord, with skipping stones. Take notice of his details in creation. Praise him in the art you put on your face. ya! Amen!

camp fires

why is it that when there is a camp fire, I can't seem to stop staring into the flame? I always wonder that every Autumn when it's time to build camp fires and roast marshmallows, and hot dogs. It is my favorite time of the year though, and I get exited and lonely and peaceful and restless all at the same time. I get exited to see the leaves turn colors, and for the temperature to be cooler, I get lonely and long to share the season with someone, that someone being a husband. At the same time I find myself feeling a sense of peace, and calm, and at other times I feel restless, a longing for a new adventure. All of these thoughts went through my mind this evening as I sat next to the fire, with the brother and sister hood of the fellowship of the bride singing songs laughing, throwing marshmallow it was great fun. Thank you Father for the joy there is in being a part of your family.

wounded hearts

This weekend God spoke to my heart through my housemates, and through some ideas from Dr. Dan B.Allender and his book The wounded Heart, it was about the truth of a people who are wounded, and out of our wound we wound others. Part of our story of redemption is the wounds we have suffered, or inflicted along the way. To avoid the truth of those wounds, is to not tell the whole story of grace, and it doesn't allow us to be real with one another, or heal. As Christ's people lets be a people who really enters into the wounds that have been inflicted by the sin in our world with one another. Let's listen to each others real stories, and enter in with our brothers and sisters. I think that God has called us to that, I think this, because he entered into the pain of this world with us in the life of Jesus Christ. Thank you father for your presents all the time, thank you. Amen.

wet pavement.

Remember that song we used to sing when we were kids, the one we sang when we wanted to go frolic in the out doors but we didn't because it was raining. Rain rain go away come again some other day. Or the one about the old man, It's raining it's poring the old man is snoring, he got out of bed and bumped his head and couldn't get up in the morning. Why did we sing those songs, I mean what happen to the old man? I remember, a few times, during the summer when I was a kid my parents would let us play in the rain. This sounds strange I think, but I like the smell of wet pavement, and I used to lay on it face up eyes closed, every other sense awake. The side walk would be warm from the summer sun of the day, and the rain falling on me would be cool. I remember thinking this is so beautiful God. To know God, is to really experience life, in a vivid sort of way, to have every sense, AWAKE.
