Thoughts

Well, today's Family Worship service went well and everyone did a great job. Though, I wish I could say the same for the process church is going thorough at the present time. Once again there are people who are trying to stack the deck or impede the process any which way. To me: that is sickening and just not cool at all. I personally wish I had the power to fire the people who did not want to support the mediation process and give it their full 100% backing/"buy in" etc. We'll just have to see what happens and how stuff plays out.

Click

What comes to your mind when you see the word click? Various things and ideas I'm sure such as a seat belt, a gun out of ammo, or even a maybe even a recent movie titled Click. My thought here as nothing to do with that rather, gears turning and some insights.

I was reading in John chapter 4 using The Message yet, called Conversations with Eugene H. Peterson where he shares his insights and thoughts from time to time about the passage your reading. He was talking about how verses 43-54 link up with his first sign when he turned the water into wine specifically the man who asked Jesus to heal his son. Eugene stated that the father took Jesus simply at His word without any supercool sign or evidence his son was healed. Just his words (Jesus).

Now, I thought, that is what we have to take regarding Jesus. Some may say, well there is historical evidence that Jesus existed Jerusalem etc. Jesus raising from the dead was a miracle yet, in reality we have no evidence or super cool signs to back that up. One might ask, well then what do we have? Only the words found in Scripture specifically Jesus stating He would rise up again after 3 days. That's it. We weren't there to witness it or confirm it.

Words, yet what do we as believers do? We take Jesus at His word.


I may be taking it too far/a huge stretch yet, that's what clicked in my head. I take Jesus at His word i.e. raised up again & He's the truth and the light & He's my savior.

Hope that made sense to you all and have a good one! :)

Conflict

We all know what conflict is no doubt. There are times where it is good, bad, or ugly and we even may want to ditch and run far from it. I know, I've been there friends. Our church is in the situation of facing conflict head on, which is good yes though painful. That has been swirling around in the back of my head yet, what about internal conflict? Who will win inside of you today or tomorrow or the next day? Good or evil? Its something we all face whether we accept or deny it. I'm there friends, there are days where I'm cruising along just dandy and the next day I think to myself, "Holy crap, what happened?!" Ya know?

The key is whatever spot you're in with conflict be it at the workplace, home, or even online in a game is: talk to whoever and work through it. Granted it may not happen or even come out peachy keen. Just do your part whatever it may be and let God do the rest.

If I can make it, you can too friends. Have a good one. *waves* :)
