Realms of writing

Remember when you were a kid, and your big brother, or in my case, uncle would put their hand on your head and say, "Oh no it's going to suck your brain out". You would laugh and say stop it, and push their hand out of the way. The truth is there is something that can suck your brain out, it is your TttttVvvvv. Now I'm not saying that while your sleeping it's going to come to life and get you, I'm just saying, that if you let it, it will, SUCK YOUR BRAIN OUT! If you let it, it will pull you in, and while your in, it will suck the life out of you. You will begin to feel uninspired, and lazy, you will stop thinking deeply, you won't feel like doing physical activities. The books you read will not be remembered, and in fact there will be more TV time, and less book reading. Don't let it happen to you, don't let your brain get sucked out. limit your times of staring at the brain sucker too one or two hours a day, and an occasional day with out is good ...

Here I am again, standing with a group of peers. I listen as the topic of the evening is discussed and pondered everyone seems to have a thought about it, except me. The truth is I do have thoughts about this subject, in fact I have questions too. Only I never communicate my thoughts or questions, well, I guess never is going too far, I hardly ever speak the things on my heart or head. For when I do, my tough gets in the way, or the thought seems to leave my head. What comes out Of my mouth, most of the time shocks even me, because most of the time it wasn't what I wanted to say. I have began to think that maybe I should just shut up. It is so frustrating to want to say something, or express a feeling and all that comes out is meaningless and confusing for anyone else who hears it. Will this ever end? will my brain and my mouth ever work well together? Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!, well that worked.

GO TO SLEEP when sleep comes, I slowly slip into a place where some times there seems to be no time. where I live in a land with lots of space, there I can run so very fast it's almost like flying it is so fast, some times I do fly, over trees and golden corn fields. Up up into the sky fast too I fly fast. It almost feels like a roller coaster. The wind is whistling in my ears, I open my eyes, and I am no longer sleeping. Some would say that I was back in the real world, I'm not sure. THAT PLACE BETWEEN my house mate and I were talking about how we get so exited sometimes that we get to go to sleep at night, she and I both agreed that after a long day it feels so good to crawl into bed under the covers and let our selves just relax completely. I like how every thing just seems to melt into the bed, my body lets go of the stress of the day, and there is stillness, and quiet. My favorite feeling I would say is that time when your gently slipping into that other place of no time, ...

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.

I am in a bible study, and we are studying 1 Peter. Every week we all receive a group of questions on the part we are feeding on the following evening. This week we are looking at 1 Peter 2:13-25. One of the questions that was asked was "How do we, while in the earthly kingdom, live as a holy nation that is set apart and sent into the world? I rasuled a bit with this whole section of 1 Peter only because I have been reading the book of Daniel. I felt like maybe the bible was saying some different things in regards to how we should treat people in authority over us. What I mean by this is when Daniel, Shadrach,Meshach and Abednego were under the rule of King Nebuchadnezzer There were some times when they did not submit to what the king had asked because it was against God. It seemed to me as I was reading the passage in Peter that he is asking us to submit in all things,and how would that have applied in the circumstances with Daniel and his friends,And if we are to be obedient as...

My favorite Autumn sweets and teats are pumpkin pies, candy corn, s'mores. one of the best October TV special is the great pumpkin charlie brown. last year my house mate went for an afternoon walk through the leave covered forest floor when she came home she had collected several hand fulls of brightly colored fall leaves she put together three leave collages of framed leaves, they were a bit of Autumn all year long we are hoping to collect a fresh group of leaves to frame. If you haven't already figured it, this is my favorite time of year. I feel like it is a taste of heaven, part of me is reminded of Narnia. What I mean by that is it feels fresh and new, and magical in a way, I feel new life is given me every Autumn. that's all for now.

The wind catches the red brown orange and yellow autumn presipitaion just before it rests on the back deck of our home in town. Still others don't miss and soon there is a blanket of fall coloers. logs of wood burn, and fill my nose returning the days of past memories, trigered by the sent my mind remembers young times. The dry leaves keep rythem with the birds chirping in the trees. I wish you would never go away autumn.

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.
