The Craziest Thing Happened

The craziest thing happened to me yesterday at the end of my work day. Do you see it coming I didn’t, I got laid off from my job. My first reaction was you’ve got the wrong guy in this office. When I was a wee little one there was a carton I can’t remember the name. But this kid time traveled, and every time he got in trouble he called out “Mr. Wizard, Mr. Wizard rescue me and Mr. Wizard would. I was tempted to look around and call out Mr. Wizard rescue me. He didn’t and I still got laid off.

All week the scripture been resounding in my head its Jeremiah 29:11-13. Are you ready it says 11 “ For I know the plans I have for you” declares the Lord “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. 12 Then you will call on me and I will listen to your prayers. 13 You will seek me and, find me when you seek me with all your heart.

I can say I have been seeking God with all my heart and I will continue to do so. This will be a journey I’m sure I’ll write more about. So more to follow

Those Darn Scales

I made a New Years resolution that I would lose weight. So I got on the scales yesterday and I’ve gained not lost weight. Can you imagine such a thing? It has nothing to do with the ice cream or other late night grazes that I have been known to do. I meet with a group of men on Monday mornings and this week we were talking about the discipline of exercise and how to be fit you must have a constant and disciplined schedule to stay fit. No matter how long you work out it only takes about a week for the process of going backward in your fitness to start to go soft, and boy am I soft. And it seems like the longer we stay away from fitness the harder the journey is to get started again.

Yes I know that I have to decrease intake and increase motion, I know all the cute saying and catch phases that are supposed to motivate and inspire you, it’s still hard. Our conversation on Monday turned to how we need to do the same thing in our spiritual walk with God. We need to read his word (bible) daily and spend time in prayer. The more you do do this the easier it is to continue to do it. But if you slack for a couple of days, man just like exercise it’s harder to get started again. You start and it’s work, but the more you do it gets easier to keep it up. Psalms chapter 119 verse 11 tells us “I have hidden your word in my heart so that I may not sin against you”

So in conclusion I will continue to hide the word of God in my heart, and I will lose weight.
