I have found that I have fallen victim to a disease. It has been caused by a personal accessory, and while the disease may not be fatal it definitely seems to suck life out of you. The disease is called "time." Recently I have been spinning out of control, like a top knocked off of it's axis. Tonight I climbed into bed, and read a book. When I turned off the light I laid in the dark thinking, "Tomorrow I should get up early and write." It's been a long while since I've written...I mean really wrote my heart out. So closing my eyes, I realized that my disease had developed even more. I didn't have [...]

...And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe...Power. In the corporate world power is sought for and thirsted after by rabid climbers to the top. This power is quite different. The exceeding greatnes of God's power makes one cringe; because it is not merely the power to fire or hire.

Oh to know You in the deep parts, and to be found in utterness in You.To be found in Your presence, splendor, and majesty Oh God...that is all I seek. To know You the way that You know me. Lord, I lay all other things at Your feet. Finances, future, ambitions...God You are my desire. I don’t want the fruit of ambition…I want an inheritance from You! I pray for You to reveal to me Your wisdom in leading, and [...]

...that ye may know what is the hope of his calling...Calling. I wonder what the original disciples thought when Christ called them. For a rabbi to take on a student in the Jewish culture meant that the student had toiled long and hard in studying the Scripture to have a rabbi look at them and invite them to share his yoke. It's quite the comedy of heaven that Jesus, instead of going to the white collar bookworms, went to the blue collared workers. At the mystery of that, the disciples followed. Maybe it was a dream come true for them...or maybe it was a "too good to be true" happening that they didn't even believe was [...]
