"Woe to you who are well-fed now, for you shall be hungry. Woe to you who laugh now, for you shall mourn and weep.
Woe to you when all men speak well of you, for in the same way their fathers used to treat the false prophets."

Disappointment
Lately I have become overwhelmingly disappointed in friends and coworkers.
COME ON PEOPLE! Step up! Do I need to hold your hand or what? THINK! DO!
- They don't do things they say they are going to do.
- They are lazy and do as little as possible.
- They bail on their responsibilities as well as others and leave them to suffer the consequences.
- They waste their own time with worthless efforts which in turn affect those around them.
- They don't make their other more critical obligations known in order for those around them to adjust and accommodate.
- They do not ensure their own responsibilities are carried out in full.
- They don't answer their phones nor do they return calls.
- They make excuse after excuse after excuse after excuse, to the point of expectation.
- They continue to bring themselves to a point where people can no longer depend on them and then they have to work themselves back into trusting relationships.
- They only think of themselves.
- They don't realize the consequences of their not doing something on others nor do they care.
- They change the subject and escape to humor.
- They seek approval in the masses at the loss and insult of others.
- They chalk it up to "o well."
- They just don't get the pattern that they are establishing with those around them.
COME ON PEOPLE! Step up! Do I need to hold your hand or what? THINK! DO!

A Painful Day
Today it physically pains me to be at work and listening to the conversations that are going on.

1 Timothy 6:7-11
"For we have brought nothing into the world, so we cannot take anything out of it either. And if we have food and covering, with these we shall be content. But thos who want to get rich fall into temptation and a snare and many foolish and harmful desires which plunge men into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all sorts of evil, and some by longing for it have wandered away from the faith, and pierced themselves with many a pang. But flee from these things, you man of God; and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, perseverance and gentleness." 1 Timothy 6:7-11

Galatians 2:20
"I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith and in the son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me." Galatians 2:20 (NIV - New International Version)
"I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me, and delivered himself up for me." Galatioans 2:20 (NASB - New American Standard Bible)
"I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me." Galatians 2: 20 (KJV - King James Version)
"With Christ I have been co-crucified; and live no more I, but lives in me Christ; and what now I live in [the] flesh, by faith I live of(in) the Son of God loving me and giving up himself on behalf of me." (Greek to English Translation - 21st edition of Eberhard Nestle's Novum Testamentum Graece)

Depressed

One Flaw of Many
Recently, I realized I don't really know how to be completely open.
I thought being open meant that you would honestly answer any question, which is where I was, but that's not what it appears to be. Being open appears to be, genuine, forthcoming and verbally conveying of all truths. "me saying it all without prompt"
It seems so strange that others would want to know, that it would help others and much less that it could help me.
I have so much to learn in this world, but perhaps I will not be permitted to do so. Carpe diem
Finny
finny, strange little guy my mother gave to me. He's just perched on my right speaker. Thats all...

The Noble Path
A man left work today for the last time. His reasons were quite admirable.
Some would say he was a man that made a great decision. Shall we venture to say he is a great man or shall we pray that this path leads him to be?
Some things are better demonstrated than discussed.
God bless this man and his path. God bless all men on such a noble path.

A little poetry I wrote a while back
On September 18, 2005 at a Starbucks in Dallas I wrote the following...
A walk in the mall,
a thousand sub-cultures to buy in to,
a million lifestyles to live
and yet no purpose and no fulfillment
and in the end, no difference.
Doubt
Destroyer of my soul.
Adolescent of my mind.
Burden of my skin.
Hindrance of my end.
Heart
A fraudulent creation of man sold to many and known too few.
To Do:
Every waking moment an opportunity to do
an obligation to do
a need to do
a desire to do
and yet nothing to do
nor anything to be done.
Why is it we always strive to be doing?
Was man created with a restless heart?
Was a desire instilled within him to be achieving?
Where will it end or perhaps when will it be enough?

I didn't think I would ever say it, but I don't really want to go to work tomorrow. Its a strange feeling really.

Confessions by James
"Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective." - James 5:16
I have sinned and I do confess. I have verbally confessed my sins to my brothers, as have they; and we continue to pray for each other and hold each other accountable.
"See to it, brothers, that non of you has a sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God. But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called Today, so that none of you may be hardened by sin's deceitfulness." - Hebrews 3:12-13
I have heard God's word and I know of the righteous path.
"Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts" - Psalm 95:6-7 & Hebrews 3:7-8, 4:7-8
I continue to ask for forgiveness and rely on God's grace, but I do not test it.
"In the past God overlooked such ignorance, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent. For he has set a day when he will judge the world with justice by the man he has appointed." - Acts 17:30-31
God has a path for me and each day I seek to pursue it.
"For in him we live an move and have our being." - Acts 17:28

Promoted?
Recently I was promoted from C1 to C2 and given a raise, but for some strange reason after the initial excitement it became very depressing. If you have any thoughts on the matter, I'm interested in hearing them.
