Christ is risen! He is risen indeed! Psalm 150   1  Praise the LORD. [ a ]       Praise God in his sanctuary;    praise him in his mighty heavens. 2  Praise him for his acts of power;    praise him for his surpassing greatness. 3  Praise him with the sounding of the trumpet,    praise him with the harp and lyre, 4  praise him with timbrel and dancing,    praise him with the strings and pipe, 5  praise him with the clash of cymbals,    praise him with resounding cymbals.   6  Let everything that has breath praise the LORD.    Praise the LORD.

"Show me your ways, LORD, teach me your paths. Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long." Psalm 25:4-5

So after much struggle and ups and down I am feeling good.  Coping well with life and work and the dreary season upon us. It has been quite the adventure the last month.  I was a zombie for a few weeks.  I saw it primarily at work.  I was there, I did my job but my heart was not in it.  I did the bare minimum.  And I was miserable most of the time. I think I even stressed out myself too the point I got sick.  My boss had to send my home early one day because I just could not function between the sinus pressure and headache, my eyes hurt and everything was incredibly loud. There were some occasional good days and moments but secretly I cried a lot.  For no apparent reason mostly. I didn't sink too far into depression.  I made myself go to my small group, Wed night Bible study, and BSF.  Yes I'm in all three again.  I know it's a lot of bible study but I really need accountability and frankly the fellowship.  I managed...

It has not been an easy summer.  There has been lots of fun, great discussions, lots of biblical truth discovered and memorable moments. Trust has been the biggest issue I've dealt with this summer.  Do I live my life exhibiting my trust in God?  When I sin I'm truly saying to God, "I don't trust you with this Lord." There are so many reasons to trust Jesus, I can't imagine putting them all down right now.  I'd never get to bed! In the end I'm learning that I cannot put my trust in me, or things of this world, or even other people.  All the above are tainted with sin; imperfect and fallible. Jesus on the other hand is God.  He is always faithful and perfect.  He will never let us down.  How do I know that?  I believe the Bible when it says as much.  And the Bible says it a lot.  Here's just a few... Psalm 40:4 Blessed is the man who makes the LORD his trust, who does not look to the proud, to those who turn aside to false g...

Just a quick note today. Nothing ground breaking or earth shattering. Which is good because I like the ground right where it is. I was totally stuck today. I had eight questions for my bible study tonight (I was going to phone it in from KY) and I barely got two. I don't understand why I'm not getting more out of this study. Am I not opening myself up enough? Since I didn't get anything down for the questions I called to say I wouldn't be calling during bible study. Now I feel like I copped out a little but I don't feel guilty. I really had/have little to say. So today for my devotions I just dug into the Word and watched some Jellytelly. I really like Psalms, although Joshua almost sucked me in. (digress) You can find Jellytelly at http://www.jellytelly.com/ . It's a somewhat new venture of Phil Vischer, one of the creators of VeggieTales. Except this is mostly puppets. Some animations, lots of live action stuff, and the cutest little puppet kid named Micha...
