Am I a double minded man, unstable in all my ways? James 1: 2-8: 2 My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, 3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. 4 But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing. 5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. 6 But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. 7 For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; 8 he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.
Let patience have it's PERFECT work, that you may be PERFECT and COMPLETE lacking NOTHING, YES, that's what I need, "But Lord let me allow Your patience to permiate everythign I do, let Your Words wash over me, and complete me, Jesus save me, redeem me for Your works, in Jesus Name, amen!"

U-haul
I had this really weird thought about writing a song for Stephen Curtis Chapman to write, and then make a music video out of. It was of a hearse with a U-haul behind it. It's kind of a famous saying, "You never see a hearse with a U-haul behind it, because you can't take it with you," but this guy has one! Then at the end of the video the U-haul is opened and out come people, scads of family & friends, maybe even ones won to Christ...kinda of a neat idea!

God's face
God wants to see His face in us, not one of our own making. I saw some women on my recent trip that made me wonder. That old school saying of a woman having to go put her face on took on new meaning for me. Some women spend hours in front of the mirror building up a facial facade that rivals the work at Mount Rushmore. One woman I noticed actually had almost a plastic like sheen to her face, it was amazing. We all know that they all must feel it makes them look better, but the false lie of what is pretty we have propagated to an epic proportion that no one can live up to.
We must become less so that He can be made more was echoed by John the bapist as his disciples were commenting on how popular Jesus was becoming and how it might effect what John himself was doing, and his response to his disciples questions; one of becoming less.
Is why we build ourselves up, to become more? Let us lay down our pretenses and instead lift up Christ, we're not fooling anyone anyway, they can see right through it, and those who can't are blind anyway.
God bless you, go in peace.
