On the topic of robbery....

One minute you're sleeping in your deepest sleep in at least a week, and the next your alarm clock is nudging you. Ok you're right it's more of a slap in the face. It's waking you up out of your slumber, your wonderful dreaming bliss. Oh and it doesn't matter if you have a loud clock, a radio set on some soft rock station, or some noise maker that you have set to make the sound of rain. No No it doesn't matter it's still the worst possible thing you could be hearing at that time of day. That sound is the evil reminder that it is time for you to get out of your bed and say hello to whatever is behind door #1. Maybe someone will be at the door waiting for you from the Publishers Clearing House to give you millions of dollars completely free, after taxes of course. How bout a pizza guy who couldn't find the house he was going to and it's his last day so he doesn't care about giving you a free pizza. Hey who knows maybe you could walk out of your bed room door and your T.V. could be gone.... Wait that really happened to me... Or maybe let's say, just for fun, the same guys take your 200 dollar drum and your friends 400 dollar drums and your other friends 200 dollar drum ..... Oh wait that all really happened too. Gosh what conclusion can I come to from all this?
Well this may be hard to believe but my stuff really did get stolen. What am I feeling right now? Umm well I'm frustrated but after thinking about it and really praying about it... It's just stuff. That's right I said it, I am calm and disappointed but I know that every single thing in this world will eventually fall apart or rot or I will die. So yes I'm pretty put out that some jerks stole some pretty expensive stuff from me, but I know that it's just stuff and I'm not here on earth to save up stuff I'm here to praise my lord and savior Jesus Christ and to make sure that as many people as possible also know what He means to my life and what He did for them.
So if you rely on your stuff guess what... It's going to pass and so are you. So the question you have to ask is... What is going to happen when your stuff can't save you and when your life is passing from your finger tips. It will be that moment in life when you can't control a thing. Wouldn't you like to know that you don't have to worry about what happens after you die when your stuff won't matter. I'm glad I know for sure. STUFF DOESN't MATTER!!!!!

Patience.... Now... RIGHT NOW!!

Wow! Why can't I have a weekend like last weekend every weekend? Wow I just used the word weekend three times in one sentence. Marriage, hhhummmm, I just can't explain how excited I am for my two friends that just got married. They are absolutly perfect for each other. Weddings always make me start to think about the future. As if I don't think about it enough! Then I start telling God, "ok I'm ready for you to show me some more of my journey." As if I know what's best for me and as if by being in a wedding I have some how been made ready for more responsibilty automaticly. I'm so foolish sometimes. But I guess that's ok cause I'm not God.
