True Worship....

True Worship...

(Many won't like this, but I don't care)

We don't have this in our churches anymore...

We are so stuck within this repetitive analogy of what we have been taught to believe, that worship is SUPPOSED to be...

That we freely refuse to interject ANYTHING into our "so called worship" that would interrupt the time line of our HOLY schedules...

So we just sit there, in our seats, as if we are waiting and demanding God to move because we are doing it all right , right there in the pews...

We have 15 minute prayers, hour long sermons and sing until we cannot speak...

And we leave thinking we have done God a favor by showing up.

I was in a service once where the pastor just stood there in total silence...

He then walked over and turned off half the lights...

Walked back over to the middle of the stage and just stood there.

Within minutes weeping began to break out...

People were running to the alter of prayer..

Lives were changed...souls were saved...

Without a single song, prayer or message...

Sometimes God just wants us to SHUT UP and listen....

Instead of filling the air with repetitious noise....

ALL INTO PERSPECTIVE....

As of yesterday.... 48 years I have been blessed to experience on this big beautiful earth... I haven't had an easy life... It's actually been a constant battlefield for me... I have traveled far in my life.... I have been to places many have only dreamed of going... I've seen things in my life that would give the ordinary man nightmares for the rest of his days... I've been touched by an angel and chased by demons... I've faced death more times in my life than most would in 20 lifetimes... All starting with almost losing my life to illnesses as an infant... But the one thing in my life.... That dwarfs it all... The one thing the erases all my mistakes... and brings my life into perspective as an example of God's extreme perfection.... Is when my daughter's arms are wrapped tightly around my neck knowing she is safe from what just filled her heart with fear... Being a father.... is unlike anything I have ever dreamed... Every time I look into my daughter's big black eyes... I only see the eternal future... Because every stupid thing I've ever done in my life just disappears... Every time she calls me Pappa...

Emotional Choo choo!

Quote from Bill Dauterive from the show "King of the hill" to first time broken hearted boomhauer:

I know how dark it is for you right now, curled up..lying in your own emotional vomit...

Your in HELL now Boomhauer and the only way out is through a long dark tunnel and your afraid to go in...becuzz there's a train comin' at'cha carry'n a boxcar full of heartbreak..

Well...le'me tell ya sumthin'...

All you can do is let it hit ya..

And then try to find your legs..

Hmmmm? I know...I've taken that hit more times than I can remember..

But, Look at me Boomhauer....!

I'm fat...and I'm old...and everyday....I'm just gonna wake up fatter and older!

But yet somehow I'm able to drag this fat old bastard out of the bed everyday! Diggin' holes...fall'n in to'em...climb'n out tryin'


again....

My thoughts:
This so profound to be coming from a comical adult cartoon...

It literally hit me in the stomach! (Sorry for the superlative...I was only quoting...)

Regardless: this really hit home with me tonight...

I thought I needed to share this...maybe it will help you heal a little more...just like it did me...

Thank you and God bless the writers who penned this scene...)

Just Because I can...is why...just because...I CAN.....

QueStionS many ask about me behind my back...some...are asked by those who at one time claimed to be..."FRIEND"

SO... in-turn I sometimes ask them of myself as well...

---------------
Why am I who I am...?

Why do I wear so many different hats...?

Why have I ventured into so many different things in my life...?

Why am i just not like 99% of all American men...satisfied with just working 40 hours per week...having 1.5 children and supporting a crabby, loony wife?

Why do I KEEP doing the things I do...?

Why won't I just quit everything except my job and be content with being content about being content about absolutely NOTHING...?

Why won't I just come home every night and plop down in front of the TV like I did for so many years while BEING married to my LOONY "X" wife...?

Why won't I just accept the fact I'm getting older and slow down...?

Why can't I be happy in "nothingness" like so many other men and women...?

Why can't I just be fat and lazy like YOU...?

-------------------
For the answer...refer back to the title of this ridiculous blog...!

Fight to... "finish" ....and you will win..

Never underestimate the hands of your opponent...

A defensive fighter will eventually get beaten...

An offensive fighter will tire quickly...

So Optimize on both Offense AND Defense...
to ensure that the balance of your approach,
attack and stamina will
Co-align and co-exist together...

(Almost anyone can "walk" a mile...and never tire...

Very few can sprint a mile...and retain mental and physical stamina...

So pace your self to finish the mile...to over come those who are lagging behind..and allow those who want to prove they are faster to move forward...

Simply so you can cruise right by them as they are sitting on the side of the road winded by there own arrogance...)

The life changing punch...

"Many never notice the dimple I have on my right cheekbone"

..Every time I look in the mirror it reminds me of a HARD punch I took 19 years ago that cracked my cheekbone and opened my eyes...

(isn't it amazing at what God does to get your attention)

Even though I feel like a failure at times...

I know that where I am now, began many years ago with that dimple....that gets deeper every year I grow older....

Peddle faster?

There's only so fast you can peddle down hill to try and make it up the other side...
(meaning: it's gonna take more than just forward momentum to get you through..

there will be a time and place where your personal mental, physical and spiritual "stamina" will determine your success in getting you to the top...)
