Good morning, brother!

Here´s what I thought about this:

"You may see it that way, brother, and it sounds "better" to see it another idealized way; although I have this other "example" life has shown me in The Bible:


Mat 14:27 But Jesus quickly spoke to them. He said, "Don't worry! It's me! Don't be afraid."
Mat 14:28 Peter said, "Lord, if that is really you, tell me to come to you on the water."
Mat 14:29 Jesus said, "Come, Peter." Then Peter left the boat and walked on the water to Jesus.
Mat 14:30 But while Peter was walking on the water, he saw the wind and the waves. He was afraid and began sinking into the water. He shouted, "Lord, save me!"
Mat 14:31 Then Jesus caught Peter with his hand. He said, "Your faith is small. Why did you doubt?"
Mat 14:32 After Peter and Jesus were in the boat, the wind stopped.

I wish I could be inside HIS boat with no wind blowing at me.


God and His commamds are the same, the Lord Jesus is the same as His invitation to walk by FAITH, no
matter if it is over solid ground or waters on any sea.


He just gave an order, some may walk, unaware of where they´re going and many would claim and ask for His helping hand,
(His saving hand) because I often walked by sight, looking at winds and waves.

Am I a piece of cork to float without swimming or to walk unconcerned?

Am I so light -as a feather- to be blown up with the breath of any wind of ideas or doctrine?


Scripture can be "spiritualized" and made that easy, but the truth is what GOD will show as truth."

I´m responsible for where I´m going. I cannot not see my self as a cork and the Gospel tells me I have to swim. ;)
Amen Brother and continue own, because this good work Father dstarte3d in you is real and is and will be completed we are to walk in Faith, no doubt, and thank you for your view it help s in mine, iron sharpens iron

A guy just can't look cool in the back of a pick up truck in my opinion. He looks like a loser. Girls can almost always pull it off - in fact they can actually look good in the back of a pick up truck, but a guy? - no. Now, I've ridden in the back of a pick up truck but I always try to look humble. You know - like a guy who just appreciates having a ride, but I've seen guys who are trying to look all cool and arrogant, - like - "this is my domain here, this rectangle of space here in the back of this pick up is my space except for where that spare tire is, but the rest of it is my space". You can't look cool with that kind of attitude and in fact, people driving behind you are going to enjoy thinking about you being a loser in a back of a pick up truck in a case like that.
hahahahaaaa!

the moment one sets out to look "cool" is usually when they've lost all hope of appearing so. or at least that's my observation.

plus it seriously cracks me up.

oh, and that reminds me of this hedy lamarr quote:

It amazes me I can get like, 10-11 hours of sleep, and run out of energy less than 4 hours after I've waken up. What. Is. Wrong with me?

Oh, well. Cookie baking shall continue. So far so good with them. Then right after I'll be sure to make chicken so I can get some protein. That's probably my issue, I've had so little protein because meats have been sounding sickening again. -_-I'm not vegan or a vegetarian, but some days I wonder how I haven't become one.

Why is it, when I try hard I can't accomplish what I am after, does it have something to do with this:
Galatians 6:8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.

Now , ones thoughts are the as sowing right?
You are right on the spot! I am seeking fleshly things to fill a void that can only be filled with God. I am trying my hardest right now to reconnect with him, though I know it is not my doing but the Spirit's doing...

Fenner, I love sushi!!! My favorites have eel and shrimp tempura in them. I can eat raw sushi but only a few pieces is enough for me.

Tourist and Secular Hermit, you two are on a roll... haha.

I wish! I wish! But, at surfing, we see waves up and down.

ive been feeling the the same way all day! Wanted to shake off the sulky feeling but it's proven to be more difficult.
Indeed it is difficult! I do hope you are feeling better. I will keep you in my prayers.:)

Do not know this to maybe help, but here goes
Maybe learn than any future expectations (outside of being saved by God through Son) is possibly unrealistic and sets one up for depression?
Perhaps you are right. I do tend to do that to myself. I have to keep reminding myself that everyone has a different walk and as long as we are following God and His ways, not one is better than the other.

Thank you :)

Oh! Here, on my screen, it seemed a suffering hand (with blood). Images are also subjective ( as for the OP records).

Maybe you need a computer with better quality images or should zoom in on the picture xD. There is surely no red stains on that hand!

There was a shooting at a high school in Oregon today too. I haven't seen much about it on the news, just that it happened.

that was on the news as well..... as far as I know the shooter ain't from this city. anyway news here didnt give much info on the school shooting they actually admitted they couldnt get any real info due to all the disinformation and changing stories from all the other stations across the nation.
