Sometimes I cry, inconsolably, not sure why.
Sometimes I feel anger, so much it scares me
Sometimes I worry this will all overtake me.
Most nights I can't sleep because I wrestle with the dreams
Sometimes I wonder how God could ever forgive me for the things I've done
Sometimes the burdens get too heavy
Sometimes I fall down and wonder if I'll ever get back up
Almost always I find myself in a spiritual fight, the enemy is always cruel and cunning.
Almost always I pray myself to sleep....
Sometimes I just cry...

No one is Perfect
How easy it is to dismiss the notion that; "we are only human" or that "no one is perfect". Just another legalistic lie. Satan is subtle in his notion that we should not begin to believe for one minute we are better than anyone else, after all we are only human and you can't expect a miracle overnight, right?
True be told, which Satan does not provide, we are better than that, "miracles" or "blessings" do happen and guess who is not providing them, yep the guy with the pearly white teeth an slimy handshake, good ol Mr. In-Between, (we will get to why I call him that).
No longer should you dismiss any inaction or failure to the notion as we are only human and no one is perfect because they are both lies. We are not merely human, maybe in form, but not in spirit, and the notion that no one is perfect is just a lie because we know that God is perfect and he is real and a part of our everyday lives.
Mr. In-Between lives on Procrastination Street in the town of Doubt and Deceit. Keeping all that live there and their many cousins in turmoil. Doubting whether to believe anything they read, see or experience. We live in a sinful world after all, right? No...
Being stuck between a hard place and a rock is just that, Hell is a hard place left to hardheaded people who refused to see, while the rock is the rock that was cast aside, imperfect, but cleansed and purified made into the cornerstone. Falling between these two choice is all you have, but choose wisely your decision will last an eternity.

Constantly Attack...
Ever feel like the weight of the world is falling on your shoulders? Like everything is going wrong, no matter how small or large the matter?
You aren't alone, we are constantly being bombarded with subversive messages through out the day, whether in the media or on the radio. Seems the more distracted we become the more distance there is between us and God. Although the computer aids us with many aspects of work, it replaces the functions of face to face communication and letter writing.
Once we become de-sensitized to speaking to one another, and loosing faith in the written word, Satan is painting an abstract vision for many to follow or believe is real, in other words he is manipulating many into believing what we see on television or read in the paper or on the computer to be slanted away from the truth.
In addition to all this we loose valuable time with our families and time spent with the Lord. Instead of the computer being a tool it becomes a function or extension of needs. I am calling on God for re-enforcements and know there are more of us then there are of them.
I am asking anyone who reads this to do the same and to take control of this and devote one less hour a day to media, computers and radio. Take that time and invest it in time with God in prayer. May God bless us all.

Unwanted...
Ever have the feeling you were unwanted, rejected by friends or colleagues? Consider the life of the penny, yep the penny. Some consider it so useless that they will refuse to pick one up, some discarding them as trash or a nuisance and use the car vacuum to rid their car of them, tossed aside.
Now consider how Jesus felt to know he was rejected by his very own people, people of his own town and country, hated, mocked and beaten and finally condemned and executed. Imagine how that would play out in today's world of mass media, ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN and Fox News all pushing and shoving to get the exclusive and firsthand accounts, adding their own spin to the facts, and in the end the facts so convoluted the truth no longer visible or believable.
Being unwanted is a lonely feeling for anyone who has ever felt rejection, imperfect, blemished somehow by imaginary standards that change as often as the weather based on popular opinions.
Broken and beaten, God welcomes us home as his children, all of us that believe and were born again of the holy spirit, the promise has remained consistent for generations since the time of John the Baptist, the rebirth of our soul, making us one in spirit with our Lord. We are accepted not by anything of our own accord, but by his grace and his grace alone.
This month, don't pass by the opportunity to come to know our lord and savior, Jesus Christ. Our Lord is merciful and accepts all, from the meek to the mighty, from the unwanted or rejected to the most desirable. All are equal is value to him, all are equal is relationship to God the Father, Creator of all things.
God Bless us all...
