I can't keep up

 Time is just flying by these days.  I do not know if it's just a by-product of getting older or if time is really flying by faster than it used to.  It seems to me, and to others I talk to that all of creation seems to be in a hurry these days.

We live in trying times, to be sure.  We hear of wars and rumors of wars.  People call that which is bad, good; that which is good, bad.  We live in days that Paul wrote about and we see the signs of the times all around us.  And we wait, expectantly, for Jesus to return.

The news today is distressing.  Our country is facing yet another first and I'm just mindful of something our pastor said on Sunday which was, "what goes around comes around."  It seems that what was wished on others has come to roost on the one who wished it.  I find no joy in seeing this happen.  I'm just mindful that I'd also heard this philosophy explained in another practical way by Dr. J Vernon McGee who put it this way:  Chickens come home to roost.

Mine did.  Yours will.  It happens to all of us.  And in this crazy world, where we're seeing the chickens come home to roost for taking God out of everything, one thing becomes clearer and clearer:  The only way it's gonna get better from here is for God to put Himself back into everything.

Come Lord Jesus!

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...
