Saddening....I post a good question and not a single reply...tsk tsk tsk.

But anyways onto the real stuff, this last week has been a very eventful week from treadmills and meetings and fixing cars to treadmills eating me broke after fixing cars and more.

But spiritually I have been progressing. Yesterday on my way to group it was as if I were being spoke to, but I only had a strong feeling that God was trying to call me back. And I have not been as responsive as I could or should have been. I was a moving feeling to have.

Then there was group. Since there were only two of us that went to sermon I lead the group again. The sermon was great alone. It really hit a few points home about prayer and showed me the importance of the lord's prayer. There were several deep points of group last night but when closing we did it differently, we all got in a circle, stood, and held hands and recited the lord's prayer. that was great. It was moving, at least to me it was.

I know that I will need to keep God in greater perspective in my life. I am thinking of re-reading the cross centered life here soon if I can. I am sure I can as it is a short book.

But just looking at the events in my life and the changes I have seen and felt over these last few months I know there is a force at work in my life. And he is calling me home. To what I do not know but that I am being called. So who knows what that will look like. Gotta be strong in order to become and be, simply the man God is calling me to be. But I need to follow.

Then I did get a job opportunity with an interview next week. I am praying that no matter what that I seek god's will for better or worse and that I pray I not let it get to my head or my hopes up. That if it does go through or even not that I still seek his wisdom and will and that I accept that will. I have gotten hopes up before about a new job thinking things are about to get better to have them crash down with no job. While I work hard others advance and I stay behind. But this time I want to do it differently. I want God there with me this time, instead of me doing it.

Also I heard from the folks at Westboro Baptist church on a podacast here this week.....talk about hate-filled christians. They are so strong against gays that they blame Katrina and 9-11 on them. Only gay people not regular sinners, no only this one bunch of sinners. Honestly I wish a lot of Gays would "straight bash" them and quote scriptures to them while doing so. That may be wrong to think of and not the right way to do it. But while are teaching fear of hell and not fear of the lord they are only pushing others away. They are the extremes of Christianity just as these terrorists are extremes of Islam. I just do not see how those enlightened by Christ or whatever higher power they choose can become so cold hearted and evil. Evil by choice. Needless to say I was angered by the podcast just listening to the closed minded and closed hearted lady that was speaking. Christ did get angry, yes that's cool. But also Christ did go speak the love of God to the prostitutes and evil doers of the day. In fact that's what got him in trouble with the Pharisees it seems.

That is what I love about Christ so much, he did talk about the fear of God and Hell, but he alsoe spoke of his love. And by dying he completed that story. And fulfilled it.

So what fruits will this Job Interview bring? Will I get back to a life of prayer and focus on God making him the center of my life? Will the cubs ever win the world series?
