I was in Fort Worth on thursday driving around.
(Months ago now my stereo was very rudely stolen from its resting place in the center console of my vehicle and since my truck is old I just haven't cared to replace it.)
So I have this old am/fm headset radio with earphones and I was listening to this classic symphony station. I didn't know the name of the composer, my guess it wasn't a Smith or a Jones, anyways, So I pull up to the four way intersection and this really dramatic part of the composition was unraveling into this brilliant crescendo. It felt like something was about to happen... this cyclist was coming across the road, to my left was this mail truck the old mailman smoking his cigarette rummaging through the box next to him. Cars on the opposite crossway were stopped waiting for the light to change, I felt the wind pick up and blow through the open window into the cab... And then the music climaxed and tuned out and the light changed to green.
We had a meeting this week with the congregation I attend in Spring. The main topic was that of being a servant, of fulfilling ones purpose here on earth. A decidedly good week, with much singing, praying and reflection.
This past week I attended a funeral of a dear brother who passed on, and that evening a wedding of a friend since childhood. That was a day that bled with emotions. All that was missing was a baby being born... that would have been full circle. New lives beginning all around!
Any one up for some skydiving? I am wanting to get a small group to jump with me from an air field near college station. Geronimo right?
Peace is often found when you are prepared for the battles that lay ahead. Preparation and dedication to the moment.
I may never be a hero, a star on the grande stage of life, but I can play my part and be a significant nobody (as taught by Royce Chandler), in the unraveling of Gods plan. My prayer today, that Jehovah uses me as prop, that my hand opens a door for His will to be championed among my people.
hmmm... I've always claimed I would go sky diving but when actually faced with the real possibility of doing so I might be much less brave. I would definitely be all for watching at the very least. ;)
hey there! how are you doing?? I hope all is well in your world! DUDE>> oh man i would love for a chance to go skydiving. haha keep me posted if you put something together :) haha
I've learned that it is easy to be brave from a safe distance. And taking action, in love and truth, is the foundational key to success. You gotta swing to get a hit right? In matters of principle, stand like a rock, in matters of taste, swim with the current, within reason of course....
It is better to deserve honors & not have them than to have them & not deserve them.
It is not doing the things we like to do, but liking the things we have to do, that makes this life more blessed.
And one good turn usually gets the whole blanket.
I am guilty of a dreadful selfish crime, I've wasted so much precious time.
I'm not sure what thing you feel you've not done that makes you feel like you've committed a crime. But I know that you're a person that always brings a huge smile to my face and heart whenever I see you. I love you Drew!
D-Lo. . .I just wanted you to know that I don't think you get enough thanks for everything you are and all you do. . .You are such an inspiration to so many! Love you brother!!!! Call me if you ever need anything, let's talk!
Hey friends! I didn't mean to sound down, I am quite the opposite... that last part are lyrics of a song, and it rings true to me. Thanks for the love and sincerity. Your prayers are coveted always, always.
