A Distracted Mind
My mind is a huddled mass of confusion lately. I have a multitude of thoughts and Ideas teaming in every nook and cranny. Each is as elusive as can be, I chase the fleeting figments until they vanish. A wisp of vapor is the only evidence that a thought once existed, yet the emptiness lingers.
God, I know that I have begun to stretch myself too thin. I have neglected the idea of a Sabbath. The people I talk to praise my drive and desire but do not see the cracks. Lord, I did no notice the cracks, it was my mother. She sees the hysteria gleaming through the cracks in the façade, the mad glint in the eye, the lack of remembrance, the seed of insanity.
Father, show me how to balance my load. Make my choices, show me what needs to be pruned so that I can flourish for You. Cut the dead wood, the activates, thoughts, and desires that are draining energy that would be better served growing me to serve you better.
Do I follow an imaginary Jesus?
I recently had a friend recommend the book Imaginary Jesus
Just bought a book called "Imaginary Jesus" It might sound sacrilegious…but it’s an AMAZING look at how we make Jesus out to be what we want, and don’t look at who He REALLY is…oh, and it’s laugh-out-loud funny. Seriously…look it up. It was free for Kindle!
If you know me you can see why I was intrigued, if you don lets just say when I was younger my teachers compared me to Curious George. I am about a quarter of the way through the book and am loving it. The book is very well written, and the characters are very entertaining. However, the book has a very important message to go along with all of it’s humor. I recommend that you read it, and if you have a Kindle or will read it on your computer or Smartphone using the Kindle software its free, so why not check it out.
