Negatives Attract

I am learning that the real world is not scientifically accurate; for here the negatives attract ...and form a pity party.

Ps 126:5

Psalm 126:5

Tears invested,
waters the seed,
softens the ground,
nourishes the grain,
and achieves a joyful harvest.

Agricultural comparison,
illustrates the need,
for toil and labour,
patience and discipline,
anticipation and hope.

God is the achiever
Christ is the assurance
Spirit is the comforter
that the harvest
is guaranteed.

Happy Birthday

Because I forget if I thanked you already, here it goes again.
To all those who remembered to wish;
To those who wished they remembered.
And to those too old to remember....
well, I am getting there.
Thanks.

Fraud Freud

Fraud Freud followed the fiction that fear is the factor for the formation of a fatalistic faith.


 Foolishly forgetting "fear" is focussed not from foreign factors, but forever fixed in our frame by the Father(Ecc 3:11).

For the fear of the Father is the fountain of our faculty, foresight, foresightedness, flair and fullness.

Planet

There is a plan, no wonder it is called Planet Earth

Convincing or Convicting?


After a talk I often seek feedback on what I could do differently to improve the next time around. 



I asked the wrong questions, and received the wrong answers. 


I seek now not how convincing the talk was, but how convicting.


Did it touch the heart? 


Not what I will do differently, but what they will do differently. 


That is the true measure. 


Convicted not just convinced.

Another Anniversary

Another Anniversary;
who do I thank?
as I stand at the cusp
of a second decade together.

I know, as you would,
I must thank God.
That I do most days
if not everyday.

Words aren't enough,
so I bought a card,
wrote a poem, and realized
the inadequacy of expression.

So even if I can't express it well
I am thankful for the reminder
that we're growing old together.
And that, I like most.

Honey

Someone help me quick. I have been calling my wife honey for so long that I've forgotten her name.

Tender Hearted

Be tenderhearted but thick skinned; not the other way around. That's all I'm saying.

Obedience

Act of obedience is not just about doing what is being told, but in the immediacy and urgency with which it is carried out. Obedience therefore is not, about the convenience of the mind but the attitude of the heart.

Cat has Nine Tails

‎::How to Prove Cat has 9 Tails::

No cat has 8 tails, and 1 cat has 1 more tail than no cat.
If no cat has 8 tails and a cat has 1 more tail than no cat.
One Cat has 9 tails.


You should laugh when you figure this one out.
Eye roll is not an appropriate gesture.

Going Uphill

I was told to go uphill
when the brakes fail.
I did, and now I am
on the top of the world.

Not with your Prayers down

A very important lesson I learned:
Don't be caught with your prayers down?


2010.

King is the Subject

The King must be our constant subject. 


No pun intended.

Rapture

Rapture is that one backward bungee jump I am waiting for.

17 July 2011.

It is a sunny day in heaven

It's a sunny day in heaven,
though dark and dreary on earth be.
Stand up, and lift up your heads,
because your redemption is drawing near.

When heavenward I lift my gaze,
the King in His glory I see.
So I sing, Heaven came down,
and glory filled my soul.
