SLOW FADE
I'm so sorry....I've screwed up my life....please don't hate me....I never thought this would happen to me..
These are words I hear almost every day, actually I heard someone say them this morning. And most of them I have said myself. The realization that you are suddenly in a heap of trouble is the most overwhelming thing you can experience. The thought that you have been left to your own devices is a horrible realization. Now what happens?? Makes me think of the Dave Edwards quote...That were our foundation ripped away, any one of us would be capable of doing the same thing the Columbine students did...left to ourselves, every one of us has a tremendous capacity for evil. “Lit” David Edwards
In the word of Casting Crowns
Be careful little eyes what you see
It's the second glance that ties your hands as darkness pulls the strings
Be careful little feet where you go
For it's the little feet behind you that are sure to follow
It's a slow fade when you give yourself away
It's a slow fade when black and white have turned to gray
Thoughts invade, choices are made, a price will be paid
When you give yourself away
People never crumble in a day
It's a slow fade, it's a slow fade
Be careful little ears what you hear
When flattery leads to compromise, the end is always near
Be careful little lips what you say
For empty words and promises lead broken hearts astray
It's a slow fade when you give yourself away
It's a slow fade when black and white have turned to gray
Thoughts invade, choices are made, a price will be paid
When you give yourself away
People never crumble in a day
The journey from your mind to your hands
Is shorter than you're thinking
Be careful if you think you stand
You just might be sinking
It's a slow fade when you give yourself away
It's a slow fade when black and white have turned to gray
Thoughts invade, choices are made, a price will be paid
When you give yourself away
People never crumble in a day
Daddies never crumble in a day
Families never crumble in a day
Oh be careful little eyes what see
Oh be careful little eyes what you see
For the Father up above is looking down in love
Oh be careful little eyes what you see
I know God forgives and He can redeem, heal and rescue but I have one question to leave you with....how do we end up in such places and why did we not think that God truly was enough?

Reflection of Jesus
I saw someone yesterday the LOVED Jesus! I don’t mean talked about loving Jesus but actually really did. He could hardly express with words but everything about him told you how deep his love for Jesus was. He wasn’t fancy, didn’t use the first religious word and didn’t even quote a bunch of scripture. I saw something I don’t ever remember seeing. Did it leave an impression? Oh how it did. This man has no doubt that he loves Jesus and no doubt that Jesus loves him. I can’t get the image out of my mind and I hope I NEVER do.
You see I have had some nagging lingering questions for some time now. I can’t shake them and they seem to be present in some part of every day and they have been for well over a year now. I'm not sure I can even explain my questions or thoughts but it has to do with how our lives don't truly mirror the life of Jesus and how we use a lot of biblical words that we don't really know the meaning let alone live them out. I know we all know a few people that seemingly do but that seems to be the exception instead of the norm. You may think I'm a cynic and maybe that's true. All I know is I don’t see in others, including myself, what I saw in this man yesterday. I do know it’s something I want.
" I looked for a man among them who would build up the wall and stand before me in the gap on behalf of the land so I would not have to destroy it, but I found none. Ezekiel 22:30

Yes I love random thoughts and have them quite often, SO here are a few of my current random thoughts. Some stay with me for days while others are just fleeting thoughts. So here they are in no particular order….I guess that makes em random!
That were our foundation ripped away, any one of us would be capable of doing the same thing the Columbine students did Left to ourselves, every one of us has a tremendous capacity for evil. “Lit” David Edwards
Can I actually get to the gym tonight?
When will I get this thing we call Christian living right? Do you ever think about all the religious words we use and realize you don’t really know what most of the mean let alone live them out.
Most people don’t like change and usually won’t change unless the pain of same is greater than the pain of change.
Dang! I’d love a cupcake about right now!
My Max is not feeling well lately I hope he's not gonna die.
