Big fun

This is gonna be an incredible two weeks and some amazing things are going to happen.

Why?

Because my youngest is here.

But that's not why incredible and amazing things are going to happen.  This is why they will.

We went fishing at Causey reservoir tonight and my son wants to talk to me about my faith.  And then he did something else.  He asked God to show up.

And God did.

My son has some problems with this whole thing of God's Grace and salvation.  He thinks it quite unfair that good people that don't believe in Jesus don't go to heaven.  It was a lot more in-depth of a conversation than that, but in essence, that's it.  It's not fair, he says.

So he said he wanted to see God.

We all know that no man can see God but that doesn't stop God from showing up.  The following things happened in the time span of fifteen minutes.

A lake that had been calm as glass started almost boiling with the fish jumping.  Then the thunder and lightning came, so we scooted home.

Then the rain came again after an hour of being home.

And then the rainbow showed up between our back yard and the mountains.

I shared the story of the rainbow with my son.  He says he doesnt' believe it.  But believers know that God shows up and reveals Himself.  I think it just depends on how you see it.

The young man doesn't want to go to church tomorrow.  He called his mom on me for even suggesting he was going.  We'll see what tomorrow brings.

I don't know much and I understand even less, but I can tell you as a witness; my doubting son asked God to show up.

He did.

And part two....

What I've learned lately, I'm trying to apply to the oddest thing I've ever faced.  I mean that.  Over the years I've learned that when you lose, it's best to lose and walk away.  But this time, walking away seems to be not part of the plan.  It's like being forced to watch as the decision you made has consequences you could never imagine, and having to watch them as they play out. Running away isn't in the cards. I deserve that.  I mean that.  It's a blessing because it will keep me from being stupid tonight. And tomorrow.  It kept me from being stupid yesterday, etc... You get the idea. Whatever your opinion about where I'm at, where I'm at is where I am.  And this is what the Bible has to say:  Psalm 127 v1:  Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain. From Jeremiah 10:23...Lord I know that peoples' lives are not their own; it is not for them to direct their steps. From Proverbs  16:1  To huma...

At least I can laugh about it!

The papers say: DALE L COOPER IS NOT THE..... I had to laugh because it was my Maury moment.  I'm not making this up; they say it just like that in bold type and all capital letters, like they're shouting it from the rooftops! I wonder if all caps and bold type in legal documents have the same significance as capitalizing things in an e-mail. There's a story here about why God is always good and His timing is impeccable. I mentioned earlier I had to get a copy of my divorce decree for my employer so they can verify some information I provided to them.  That is gonna have to wait because I got some papers in the mail from the State of Utah who is stepping in to set aside a portion of my divorce decree so that it meets their needs.  They need to undo something that got done through no fault of my own. When I quit fighting the former(?) Mrs., it was this issue that I gave in on. So today, I get to send my employer the information I got in the mail and hopefully...

As I drove up the circle the other day, I took a good look at my house and I decided I needed to change a few things. For far too long, I've been doing just what I needed to, to get by with keeping the lawn mowed and the garbage picked up, for the most part (except the mess in the back yard), but I saw some things I didn't like. For instance, one of my window screens fell out of the window.  Another was coming out of the frame.  I had a ladder out back I used to pick apricots.  That was in July.  My boat had a flat tire and was kind of starting to be a catch-all for this or that thing. No longer. The ladder is put away for the evening.  Tomorrow I have to get out the 20 footer to fix the other screen.  All of the junk is gone.  ALL of it.  I still have a couple of shelves to clean out and some cupboards to clean out and can do that this weekend.  But the non-working appliances, broken and disgusting furniture, and garbage is removed f...
