Drained

Awful things to think
When one knows he might make more than he does now
more than he does now
 
awful feelings disregarding grace
disregarding grace
 
its sad when one isn't happy
wishing God would do something
and yet its an awful sight
to look at ones life
 
and not see much
not see much at all
what good was their life
after all?
 
what did they bring
other than some kids
other than some trips
 
 
awful things aren't so awful
its just a game
it seems like its just a game
 
Who cares who wins?
Who cares if you lose
that's an awful though
 
awful things to think
when one is down depressed
 
and drained

KOMBUCHA CHA CHA

It may be a fad. Call it a Chinese exilir. Its Kombucha people.

Learn it , remember it, because this stuff is going to be around for awhile.

Not only is it raw food inside a tea that already is fermenting and growing more alcoholic by the day, but supposedly Ronald Reagan drank it during his cancer spell and he lived quite long thereafter sipping this stuff everyday...

Anyways last night I had some Kombucha and coupled with some Watermelon Juiced, I guess I was kinda on a high.

So Ashley and I are sitting outside talking and I just start rattling off all these passages in the gospel because I have been listening to them on the way to work. Audio Bible.

I don't think I made much sense, but it did bring me back to this conclusion after I finally had finished my last slirp of kombucha...

"Hear O Israel , The Lord your God is One." You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your mind, all your body, and all your soul. AND you shall love your neighbor as yourself..."

I just think this is the whole message of the Bible.

Its not rocket science. Its not some crazy long seminar or some thick study on theology.

Its Love. Genuine love for God and people.

I would like to revert back to a poem I wrote back called "Crippled Feet" Please read and enjoy...

KOMBUCHA on the HOUSE

Eternal Life

"proclaim to you the eternal life"

How to we get to eternal life? That's a strange thing to say or think about...

Not many people have a problem with the idea of eternity. I think this is all something we want to agree on, that in the next life it will be better, we will be happier, and we will live forever.

But when I look at these two words 'eternal life' they for some reason don't make much sense...

This was apart of the teaching of Jesus and also the apostles...this is the end result of our journey here on earth...but as I live the Christian life or attempt to at least, do I realize this eternal life is our hearts desire, purpose, promise by which we live?

Its simple to say we were created for eternity, but to realize that this is our road, our compass, and our map to live this life is forgetful.

Maybe this is something Christians just know and we all don't say much about it because its a fact were just supposed to know.

Should we not 'proclaim it'?

Should this not be the gospel's promised aim?

How do we live in eternal life?

How do we live with eternal life?

Are we scared to really dig deeper into this reality>?

Why is this promised to us Christians, and yet the outside world also can mostly agree "they're in a better place"?

Solomon wrote God has placed eternity in the hearts of man. So I guess that answers that question.

I am going to keep dwelling on this eternal life.

This is what the Christian life is about.
