Approaching Glory

Thoughts in my Head

I've been reading in James.  It seems everytime I start reading there that stuff starts happening that causes me to realize that I am definitely a human being.  Translated that means - I'm hurt.  I've been through a situation like this before, but it is one of those to which there is no good solution.  No matter what I do or say, I am going to be wrong.  Knowing this doesn't make it any easier.  This is where one can get real disgusted with God's kids.  This is where you feel completely justified in thinking that being an isolationist might not be such a bad idea.  Relationships are tough.  But I guess God already knows that.

Reflections

I decided to enter a contest online about mothers and how they have reflected Christ.  I woke up this morning in time to sort of see the sun rising.  The weather here is so cold that many cancelled the sunrise services - with the wind the chill factor was around 23 degrees.  Not your typical Easter weather.  And the poor farmers around here have totally lost their peach crops.

Anyway, I got up and got myself a cup of coffee and sat here and prayed.  I thanked God that He had indeed risen.  I wanted to focus on Him and I wanted it to be special.  So I wrote.  I was pleased with the results and submitted the story to the contest.  I'll let you know what happens.  If nothing else I'll eventually post the story about my mother here.

I do hope your Easter is blessed.
