Willing and Obedient

"If we be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land."

- Isaiah 1:19 -

Willingness - capability, availability

The Lord does not ask about
our ability or inability.
But only about our availability,
The Lord will take care of
our capability.

- Neal A. Maxwell -

The Little Prince - a quote from the fox

The fox tells the Little Prince that

“What is important is invisible to the eye; only with the heart one can see clearly.”

Moment of Singleness

In bed alone,
tears fall freely.

No child to tuck in,
my life journey,
ends with me.

How did my choices get me here?

If I'm the captain of my soul,
somehow I followed the wrong map.

A wayward sailor,
thinking the adventure lead,
to the really promising destination.

At the conference I meet people,
from all over,
talking,
listening,
eating,
sitting at the pool.

They got married somehow,
had kids,
went to baseball games,
tucked them in,
school plays.

Somehow it bypassed me.

The dress purchased,
the rings,
the flower girl clothes,
best men ties.

The man - he isn't thinking of me,

lost in his pain,
in his sorrow,
job loss,
money gone,
bill collectors calling non-stop.

No more musings of hope,
faith shattered,
heart torn.

What next?

My heart aches.

Quote - Christians and Garages

A quote found on Facebook today:

"Going to church doesn't make you a Christian any more than standing in a garage makes you a car."


They have a point and admit it - kind of funny.
