I'm kind of sad to leave. This place has seen me thru some rough stuff.

Don't be sad Sir Sirk even when the internet crashes we're with you in hope for Jesus always. Hope you and your boy have some good times to come in 2016 indeed.

I wanted to give you rep but it says I have to spread some around.

God bless you and please take good care.

Really? Oh, wow. Thanks, dear brother. I'm truly humbled. I guess we don't realise the impact we can have on each other's lives. Ever since I've known you, I've always looked up to you. You haven't disappointed me at all and I'll definitely miss you. God bless you and your son.

After much consideration and soul searching I've decided that in the new year I am eliminating all social media from my life. My son needs all of me and this takes a piece that I can no longer afford to give. As of Dec 31st at midnight I am asking the mods to eliminate my profile. I appreciate many of you here and I will surely miss our give and take. Some of you I will not miss. Lol. If there is anything you would like to comment about please do and please be nice. :)I am a tender soul. :) Love you all.

You will be missed for both your sense of humour and your wise advice and encouragement.

Enjoy your son to the utmost!

PS. I am not closing my profile, but I won't be on as often because I am starting a new advanced Greek course on Jan. 11. I might have to come here occasionally to see the nonsense as I think my brain is going to be stressed out to the max. Sorry to abduct your thread, Sirk!

Oh no! Two sensible people leaving at once?! This is not good news.:(
 
Sirk, I recorded me covering Distant Early Warning for you, but not the whole song, because Guitar Center was closing early for the holiday. Also, it's kind of hard to hear; my phone doesn't pick up the lower notes very well.

Dang... Anyway, I tried. Maybe I'll send you the link anyway (rather than plaster it here in the boards).

Not even sure that you'll see this, but if you do, here's a final farewell man. Maybe our paths will cross someday!

Back in the early 2000's my uncle had his annual done to his airplane just like he normally does. They basically go thru the whole thing to make sure that it is air worthy. He did all the normal checks on the ground before he took off. Everything was functioning properly so he taxi'd to the runway and took off. When he got in the air he suddenly realized that he had no ailerons (his yoke was loose in the stem when there was pressure on the wings in the air) and since he wasn't a super experienced pilot he panicked, cut power and crashed into a field not far from the airport. Miraculously he survived but he was banged up very badly.

Some months later I was camping with my parents and the guy that sold him the plane was there. Naturally we started discussing my uncles plane and his accident. He shared with me all the experience he had in Vietnam as a pilot and how he himself had crashed two planes there. Don't remember if he was shot down or not but that is irrelevant to this story. He told me how although my uncle was a fine pilot, he lacked the experience to know that in his situation he needed to make time his ally. Instead....he cut power to the engines because he was panicked and it was the last thing he should have done..he made an emotional decision and took away valuable time...time that he could have bought himself so he would realize... that all he had to do was reach over to the other seat and grab the other yoke.

This story has stuck with me and I think it is a great metaphor on the importance of slowing yourself down in the midst of crisis and trials.....to buy yourself some time...so you can make a decision that could save your marriage or other relationship and even your life. Granted...it may not save your marriage...your life may not be spared... but making decisions based in truth will keep you from ending up in an emotional pile somewhere. Emotions are important for sure...but they are not necessarily the truth...in fact...they seldom are.

God wants us to feel...if He didn't he wouldn't have given us them. Everything about you that God created in you is good. Your frustration, your joy and all the emotions in between....but he never intended for your course in life to be set by your feelings. The bible says the angels marvel at us and I believe it is because we feel so deeply....and we feel deeply because how else could we love? God never intended for the course of our lives to be set by our feelings. He intended for us to master our feelings. I like to think of us as the master gardener of our minds. If we plant good thought and are intentional in our thinking we will reap a harvest of good fruit...and joy and peace. If we plant bad thoughts we will reap a harvest of emotional ruin and heartache. If we doing nothing we will be overrun by weeds and will have the same result as planting bad thoughts.

Believe me...I know how hard it is when you are in the midst of something hard....some pain...that you think you have to react to it immediately or fix it....or fix the other person....when what you really need to do, is nothing but take a deep breath...assess the situation...phone a friend or even just pray. Tell yourself that you are safe...God has your back and loves you deeply.

Well...blessings to you all. I hope this post will help at least one person to take control of their thought life.....to put on the mind of Christ...to think well of themselves and others. To take the high view of yourself and of others. To forgive someone who doesn't know or understand this truth and has wrecked themselves because of poor thinking and attitudes... have empathy for them as Jesus did.

Remember...time is your friend but you have to embrace it as such.
