Month: June 2015

Very seldom do I ever go back and read what I have written.   I remember a lot of the posts, so when I reference them, I reference them from memory. However, as I mentioned a few days ago, I have a ton of half written posts and thoughts floating around. There are so many, and so many that I have revisited so many times I thought I had already posted them!   So last night, I quickly reviewed my posts from this year.  I have to say, there’s some good motivating and inspiring stuff in there!  Which given the state of my mind over the last 10 months is actually quite amazing!

Anyway, I finally feel like my mind is calming and things in my life are beginning to turn back to some sort of normal.  The last two years have worked their magic and the Lord has had his way. ( as if that is not what goes on every day!)

I pray that in some way you have benefited from the somewhat sporadic, mostly brief musings I have posted so far in 2015.   I hope I don’t duplicate any thoughts over the next few weeks, but hey repetition is good too.  After all, ‘there are three that testify’ ( 1 John 5:7)

Yeah, it’s National Running Day, which I found out about in the parking lot of the gym after I had swam, and then run!

Yes, I did swim, where I was attacked by one of the swim lane lines.  After that I ran 4 miles. I have to cut it a little short because of that crazy thing called work, but none the less, I got in a run.

I hope you do as well, in some form or another!

“Survey the path for your feet, and all your ways will be sure.”
-Proverbs 4:26

I attended my sons soccer banquet last night , which usually involves long talks from the coaches about the kids and the kids acting like well high school boys .   For a parent, it is usually an exercise in patience as you battle being present in the moment against all the other things you could/should be doing!  
But one thing the coaches kept saying last night has stuck with me over night and even into today.   Over and over throughout the night they continued to hammer the idea of God having a plan for each of the players and for the team as a whole.   Now, I am not sure of the exact theology of God having a plan for a high school soccer team, but then again,  I am not God either!  I can say with much more certainty that the Creator does have a plan for each one of us.  Our trick is to let go of our plan and let Him lead us.  

The steps of a man are established by the Lord, when he delights in his way;  Psalm 32:8 ESV

Hello June!

And Hello Monday!

I can hardly believe it is June, but hey, Summer’s here, and that gives us more sunlight to find ways to praise. As the Psalmist says

 “From the rising of the sun to the place where it sets, the name of the Lord is to be praised.” Psalms 113:3

Let’s do it!
