Tom Branch - Roads of Faith

Well so much going on let's tackle them all one by one.

The pope passed away. Even though I still do not agree with catholicsim for the most part it is still sad for many folks around. Last night I had to do a special section for the pop, nice 8 pages of it at work. So I read some of it and learned a bit from it. Now the next pope? How will he be? It's scary giving anyone that much power. SO I see it more now as an earthly position than I do as the right hand of God.

Mitch Hedberg dying. I will always look back and remeber him as funny. A many a laught he has given and that's how I shall remember him. But now I am drawing so much closer to the other side of drugs. And smoking too. It's hard to know but if I were to see a friend get lung cancer that smokes I would have to feel like "you idiot you did this to youyrself smoking that crap" It hurts me so much now that I cant be around it for very long at all. I am allergic to it and I praise God that I am.

I have messed around and have gotten a new look for this site. It's nice, mellow, and clean. I really like the banner. And yes for those who do not know me that is one of my own picutres and I created the whole banner. I love doing stuff like that at times.

Last night at work went very well considering therre were several factors against. FOr one we had the pope special section, the U of L final FOur special stories and a section, also to top it off was the daylight savings time so we lost an hour for the deadline. Luckily there were three of us there, one of us were already there for the game coverage, I came in and did the pop coverage, and then one oter person came is becasue she was bored and thought we coudl use the help. We finished about 2-230. On a saturday night. Which was a blessing so very much.

So I am awake today in plenty of hours before sojourn, but need to go get my car out of the shop if they finish it in time. But I did read something in my devotional I have re-read several times. It makes sense. In a nutshell that we get dependant on let's say scaffolding for support that we cannot stand on our own. The outside we are building up but no internal maintanence we faulter. We often need a book, tape, seminar, or something in a revival of sorts, but the outside cannot stand while the insude is not solid.

This is where so many are in their faith today. We build up our outer "christian" shell that the mush inwide we collapse again. Yes there are times with the mush we appear strong on the outside, but one day we will not get the mush to the right side and fall all over again. This has given me one more thought to ponder in my reflections.

And so far so good from community group I said I would not make a solid prayer for myself, the best I could, for a week. So far so good. So I have made a prayer list and been going off of that. Let's see how it goes from here.
