Preface

I have often wondered what it might be like to jot the ramblings of my mind so that others might embark upon this journey here with me.
I would be short-sided to think that I, among countless millions of individuals who endeavor along the course of reason, might have something worthwhile to say,- though in the end it doesn't so much matter either way, as all of us are in some aspect drifting and are grasping for understanding just beyond our reach.
To that end, I have come to the belief, that I would be remissed if I did not leap into the pool of great debate to lay fast my anchor where it seems many have been drifting for far too long now.
I don't know yet that writing will be fun. I hope I find some corollary though through my writing . For me what seems most important in all of this: that I might find clarity of thought and articulate what seems clear to me.

Running on Empty

I haven't had my mountain dew this morning. It's early, too early. Who gets up at 8am? Nuts.

I am hard pressed to have the joy of the Lord in the morning, though i do enjoy smiling and i am usually up-beat when i wake up, today i only want a mountain dew and to have a productive work day.

I missed opportunities yesterday. I got selfish, wasn't paying attention. My motives weren't sincere, my mind seemed to wander more than even I would find satisfactory. To that extent, it seems to me the subtle torments of my life sway me so easily from the mark i wish to hit; i tire from the battle my heart and mind seem to engage in even as i am unattentive to the process. I was running on empty.

Christ is the fulfillment and the embodiment of hope, the sustainer of our spirit and the well spring of joy overpouring in our life. Christ is so much more than mountain dew (doesn't that go without saying).

Mountain dew and I'm running on empty.

My Prayer:

God, i pray that you imbibe me with your Spirit, that i am strengthened through your word and emboldened to speak Christ today to someone. I pray that i will wake up more and more to be filled with your fortifying presence.

Fill me oh Lord with the wisdom of your word, help me to be more like you in all i do. Give me your strength teach me your song and shelter me in the shadow of your wing.

I am mine no more; i long for you.

Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness; for they will be filled.
