Just read everything you can

It is with great joy I announce that my youngest has finally gotten the reading bug.

We think it may have been delayed to a gruesome sociological experiment we call Third Grade in our household. (Shaking my head, No, No, make it stop).

Many a night we have peeked into her bright orange bedroom and her wheat-blonde hair is peeking above a book in a halo of filament light from a lilypad sconce we installed next to her bed.

She just finished Carl Hiassen's 'Scat'

and LOVED it. I'm so pleased.

I am a voracious reader.

 Beloved...not so much although he really enjoyed

and is currently obsessed with

Me? My reading has deteriorated rapidly. Gone are the voluminous books of yore heavy of substance and world policy significance. No, my reading has degenerated into heady tomes such as 

But hey...it's the September issue. I must keep abreast (ahem) of the current fashion trends for September of 2013...oh wait that is September of last year....oh well....anyway....

I'm reading this thinking....dear God my brain has completely turned into mush. But then I skim the following statistic in an article in the September 2013 issue of Elle magazine...

"Obama has deported nearly 2 million illegal immigrants".

I had no idea Obama was such a nationalist. 

So my advice to you? Read read and read somemore...read the local newspaper, even if it is a Commie liberal rag. Read the differing perspectives, pick out the nuances, grab the statistics that really tell the true story.  Even if it is 'only' Elle September 2013.

Don't ever stop. 

Hang onto it. Stay. Just stay.

THROUGH HIS DEATH PHILLIP SEYMOUR HOFFMAN CARRYS THE MESSAGE THAT ADDICTION IS FATAL - PHILIP SEYMOUR HOFFMAN HAD BEEN CLEAN AND SOBER FOR 23 YEARS UNTIL 2012 - Phillip Seymour Hoffman came into recovery for alcohol and narcotics when he was 21 years old. He attended meetings for many years.

Clean and sober – and in full possession of his faculties – his work was inspired.
The rest of his story – is common garden variety relapse. Stopped going to meetings. Disconnected himself from recovery.

In early 2012 he began to abuse prescription medications - once having relapsed – after 23 years clean - he dove back into snorting and shooting heroin.
The old recovery slogan is true: While we are sober our disease is in the parking lot doing push-ups - getting stronger -waiting for us to let down our guard - so that it can attempt to kill us once again.

We don't pick up where we left off - we pick up as if we had never stopped.

Phillip Hoffman quickly became unable to function - became reclusive - then recently went into detox – but did not return to his recovery program.

Phillip Seymour Hoffman died from a fatal progressive disease - not a moral failing.

My dear friends – we are given the GIFT of sobriety. Never forget what it is that gets us sober – A Power Greater than ourselves. The first time around – recovery is granted us through Grace and Mercy. When we let go of that gift – we have to work hard to get it back. Hang onto it. Stay. Just stay. ---Gary Kimble

Honey for my Soul

You have given up your old way of life with its old habits.
Christ Jesus took you from being dead to being alive. 
Worship is present in all of our lives.
Paul says to offer your life as a spiritual sacrifice.
Scripture is full of worship.
When Mary is told she will carry the Christ child she breaks out in song.
Ephesians---sing songs of spiritual heart.
Revelation---John sees a vision of Jesus singing praises to the King of Kings.
We are not reminding God of His worth
but reminding ourselves.
We sing hymns because the early church was teaching theology to those who could not read.
So let's not sing 'Jesus is my boyfriend' songs...worships should lead us towards Christ.

2 Chronicles 20:20-23
A vast army is coming against the army of Judah.
How often when we know something is coming we run to our own solutions. 
We shoud yet be: "We do not know...but our eyes are upon You.
Do not be afraid.
Do not be discouraged.
God fights our battles.


We do not fight against flesh or blood but against the enemy of darkness.
Worship is warfare.
Light dispels darkness.
Do not yell at the dark simply turn up the light. 



Two-thirds of the Psalms are not praises. They are laments.
Job 1:20...when he was at the end of his trials, Job fell to the ground and worshipped. 

You cannot work through everything.

But you can worship through everything. 



We come before God in prayer not to be nice...but to be honest.

All I know is

God is a big God.

The breadth of our worship should be more than victory.

There is permission in worship to bring it all. 



Worship is laments and brings comfort.

Tents of the wicked/Presence of our enemies are to us only

circumstances that overwhelm. 



Psalms 18:3-6 sing to God and find myself safe and saved.



My cry brings the right into His presence and a private audience.
