Why? Why not? How come?
Three questions constantly on my mind.
Three questions that most often remain unanswered.
But I press…

Great post about this at Albert Mohler’s blog.
“In Hebrews 9:28, we are taught that Christ will come a second time “to save those who are eagerly waiting for him.” That is the faithful Christian response to the New Testament teachings about Christ’s coming. The church is not to be arrogantly setting dates, but instead to be eagerly waiting for him. Of that we can be truly certain.” — Dr. R. Albert Mohler, Jr

As one who works in a office all day, this was enlightening.
Excuse me, gotta go for a walk…
Just How Dangerous Is Sitting All Day?
Sitting down, which most of us do for at least eight hours each day, might be the worst thing we do for our health all day.

Over-committed and it feels so good?
Over-committed if I’d understood:
How scattered I’d feel, but I’ve got so much zeal!
Guess I just press forward ‘cuz I’m over-committed, hey-hey!
Between Karen, home, work, church, serving in several professional organizations, … the list goes on, its been crazy lately. This popped in my head this morning…bwahahahahaha!
I was reading in 1 Kings this morning and read King David’s charge to Solomon:
When the time drew near for David to die, he gave a charge to Solomon his son.
“I am about to go the way of all the earth,” he said. “So be strong, act like a man, and observe what the LORD your God requires: Walk in obedience to him, and keep his decrees and commands, his laws and regulations, as written in the Law of Moses. Do this so that you may prosper in all you do and wherever you go…”
1 Kings 2:1-3 (NIV)
I don’t really recall the final conversation I had with my dad – it probably wasn’t anything too deep. Exchanges like the one above aren’t the type that you’d typically expect unless one’s death was near.
I’m pretty positive that given the opportunity, my dad would have given me a similarly-themed charge — my mom as well.
I miss both of them something awful … I pray they would be pleased with my life.
I AM for you, not against you.
I AM for you, not against you.
I AM for you, not against you.
I AM for you, not against you.
I AM for you, not against you.
I AM for you, not against you.
I AM for you, not against you.
I AM for you, not against you.
I AM for you, not against you.
I AM for you, not against you.
I AM for you, not against you.
I AM for you, not against you.
– GOD
I was watching something at lunch and that phrase was repeated twice in a sentence…
…and it quietly kept echoing in my mind.
2 Manny I Ron’s
Funny, when I write it out that way it doesn’t seem that bad! But, that is the state I often find myself in – through no one’s fault but my own!
Oh well…
If you’ve ever wondered, the phrase comes from blacksmiths putting bars of iron in the fire to get them hot enough to work with. The smith had to be aware of the status of the iron and if he had too many to keep track of, it could be a big problem!
Are you a “2 Manny I Ron’s” -type person too?
weer-ee
I actually used that word when Karen asked how I was doing this morning.
When I got to work, I plugged it into a cool site I frequent called Visual Thesaurus:
…so many directions to go from that single word…
Matthew 11:28 reads:
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest…”
So that’s where I place myself – weary and waiting.
I know there is a need for news and information, but…
At what point is it simply enough?
At what point does the coverage transition from information providing to sensationalizing?
When is the need to know trumped by stepping back and letting people get help, recover, and grieve … in private?
Do I really need to know everything about everything? And is that even possible or necessary?
Is this “need” simply a western-culture creation? Does this level of information actually benefit me?
What is your take on this?
