WILD @ HEART

I'm just over half way thru the book Wild at Heart. And heres what I think so far. At times I love it. Then theres times I am scratching my head, wondering if I'm missing something. I almost gave up on it real quick but didn't. And I'm glad.

What I like is that it's a way of thinking that I've never done. I know I won't be able to put it in words but it is a good way to look at things. And one problem I have is making new friends, this book and class should help with that.

What I don't like is the guys view of God in some parts. First he says God is a risk taker. I don't agree. He also comes across at times like he thinks God NEEDS us to worship, love etc. Him. I think God will be just fine if I don't. God may WANT us to for our own good, but to say God NEEDS anything from me is crazy. He will quote stuff from the Bible that fit the needs of his point. They are in the Bible but if you go and read the whole passage, then not so much. In my opinion the book would still be good without doing this. For me he just looses credibility by doing it. But over all I like it.

GOD BLESS

Wild @ Heart

Wild at heart is the name of the class I am taking at church. It's only guys in the class. I think it will end up being good for me. But I also know it will be tuff for me. The idea is to get to know the guys and to be able to share your life with them. This is something I'm not very comfortable with. The way I was brought up, you dealt with your own problems. And you never took them outside of your family. And having a conversation with someone is not a strong point of mine. Maybe this class will help in these areas.



I found this funny today. You know how in every group you seem to always have the person that is at the center of everything? For me thats a good thing because it takes the pressure off of having to participate much. Well this class is no different. But if you're going to take up most of the class time with your answers to questions don't complain that the class isn't long enough. Dude the question was, what's your name and what do you do for a living. We don't need your life story at this time. Oh well I thought it was funny!

GOD BLESS

I GIVE UP

I know the answer to this question, I hope, but I'm asking anyhow. Would God ever give up on me? Will there ever be a straw that breaks His back? The answer is no, but it's just another thing about God that's so awesome.

The reason for having some doubt on this is like in Romans.....They gave up on God and therefore God gave them up. But I think this might have been when the people of Chorinth turned away from God.

God Bless

I SUCK AT THIS

I am so glad God is forgiving because I sure do need it! What the hell is wrong with me? Enough said, for now.

HERE WE GO AGAIN

I wrote about energy I'm wasting and todays sermon dealt with something I've been wasting energy on. This stuff happens to me all the time now. It's awesome when it happens. I really can't put the feeling into words but it's good. I hope I feel the same if it stops happening.

I've been wondering what Gods plan is for me. I mean really, why did He put in place all the things that had to be in order for me to be saved? I ask Him all the time. Let me in on it. What's the plan? Come on, let me in on it. And there was His answer in todays sermon. This is the plan. Me sitting here writing this is the plan. Every second of every day is the plan. Everything I say and do is the plan. There doesn't have to be some big event. Doesn't mean there won't be. Just means I need to stop waiting for "it" to happen. JUST FOLLOW JESUS

There were also a bunch of people baptized today at church. It was never really a big deal to me before I was saved. But now it's really something special. I'm so happy for them. I walked out where the people were after they got dunked. I wanted to see the expressions on their faces. It seemed like it went from total joy. All the way to, like I must have looked, what just happened?

GOD BLESS
